Public Benefit and Aims

The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.

The aims of the Pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by:

offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability;

encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local areas;

To meet these aims the St Paul’s Walden Preschool provides a vital nursery and educational service to the rural areas of St Paul’s Walden and Whitwell as well as other small rural communities. There are no other services in the community for children and no access to similar services for those without access to private transport during the day.

Our public benefit and impact on the local community

Provide a vital affordable pre-school facility to a rural community without which the children would have no access to nursery schooling

Provision of childcare and Foundation Stage Curriculum for 2-4 year old’s of all abilities. There were approximately 24 children using the nursery in 2024-2025 who range in age from 2 to almost 5. We offer 10 sessions every week as well as lunches with older children having more sessions and younger ones starting with a smaller number.

The nursery is open to all and children old enough to be entitled to their fully funded sessions do not need to pay.

We offer a fun learning environment for children both indoors and outside. Learning through play and outdoor activities is central value. We have a wide range of different activities appropriate for children of different ages.

We provide a seamless progression from nursery type care to primary school depending on the needs of the individual child.

We support the local primary school through ensuring children stay in the village. A strong and successful school is vital for keeping the community socially sustainable.

We aim to attract families with children to move into the community and therefore secure the future for the village school and reduce car travel.

We encourage children to establish friendships with future school peer group.

Other benefits are allowing parents to return to work/training and take advantages of new opportunities, providing local jobs and keep money circulating in the local economy, and bringing members of the community together and thereby reducing social exclusion.

3. Financial report

As a social enterprise, the pre-school aims to cover its costs from its trading income and use any fundraising to develop new services and its building.

This year (2024-25) we had a turnover of £94,277 with a profit of £821, with £44,293 in reserves.

The result is slightly improved on the prior year.

Reserves Policy

The management Committee has examined the charities needs for reserves in relation to the main objectives, the future developments and the risks it may face in the future. It is planned that there is need for an allocation of between three and six months of expenditure as well as a reserve of £10,000 for building and infrastructure. The target would therefore be between £30,000 and £50,000. This will enable the charity to survive if there is a considerable drop in funding or income.
