- the accounts do not accord with such records; or
- the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

## **Organisation**
Foxton Pre-School is a registered charity under number 1123552. Foxton Pre-School runs from Foxton Village Hall. The Pre-School operates 3 mornings, 3 afternoons and 3 lunch sessions during term time identical to those of the local primary school and is subject to Ofsted inspections. The Trustees employ suitably qualified staff to run the pre-school supported by a committee drawn from the parents of the children attending the school and other interested persons.
Foxton Pre-school became ‘Limited’ in the 2008/09 academic year, due to the Garden project; therefore, the Pre-school also reports to Companies House, Company No.06529682.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The principle aim of Foxton Pre-School is to provide an environment to enable children to develop through self-expression and creative activity while encompassing the Early Learning Goals. The setting aims to provide the following:
- Nurturing – relaxed and friendly with high ratio of adults to children.
- Balancing Creative activities with structure
- Stimulating & Instructive – to achieve Early Years Goals
- Harmonious – foster self-respect and respect to others
- Opportunities for play & self-expression
- Lots of outdoor play – fresh air, exercise and tend to our garden and nature.
- Preparation – for transition to Primary school.
## **Review of Progress and Achievements**
We started the year with 24 children on the register and ended with 22.
Autumn term began with ’all about me’ topic, the children painted their self portrait which was used for our welcome display. The Children joined the local primary school for harvest festival. A ‘Space Station’ was set up in the role play corner followed by a performance stage for all the budding popstars. The children made beautiful firework pictures and baked crumbles. Family trees were made by the children not all accurate to the parent’s surprise. The Popular Christmas Activity Morning was a huge success, and with each child loaded down with lots of goodies they made along with a present from Santa. The Christmas Nativity was performed with 6 wise men and lots of angels!! As ever the children were wonderful.
The spring term commenced with our Chinese New Year celebrations. The children painted wonderful animals to depict the story of how the years came to be named after animals. The children practiced their Chinese writing, ate with chop sticks, made lanterns and cherry blossom trees. Ending the celebrations with the Chinese dragon dance. The role play area was turned into

several Chinese related themes including a Chinese restaurant. The children flipped pancakes and grew cress and then covid 19 hit and virtually closed us down for the rest of the academic year.
For the remainder of the school year, we kept in touch with the children and their families keeping them UpToDate with advice from our Early Years Advisor. The staff recorded themselves reading ‘The Gruffalo’ and ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ in their own homes, which was then edited by one of the staff members.
This was then sent to all the children which they enjoyed immensely. The Families were also sent ideas of activities and crafts as well as various websites for the early years.
## **Finance**
Foxton Pre-school recorded an operating surplus for the year-end of £10,682.
We continued with reduced sessions and agreed to remain closed on a Friday morning for the whole year. However, we were only able to remain open for the Autumn term and part of the Spring Term due to the Covid-19 restrictions.
The year started with 24 children on our books and ended the year with 22, due to house moves. We continued to receive funding from the county council for funded hours even when we were unable to open. As we operate from a village hall we were under extra restrictions. However, the expenditures were only reduced by around £2k. We furloughed some of the staff for the month April only, to cover the losses in paid fees but with the funding continuing we used this to pay all employees at full pay for the remainder of the year.
Fundraising this year was down on last year by 40%, due to covid-19 restrictions.
The Pre-School ended the year with cash and bank balances of £42,620. This includes £12,000 in reserve of ½ terms expenditure plus redundancy & PILN cost and administration. Also £5,000 has been set aside for Designated Funds.
We start the new school year 20-21 with 14 children on the books.
