## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 1[st] January 2022 To 31[st] December 2023** ## **Charity name: St. Anne’s Pre-school** ## **Charity registration number: 1135346** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|The ethos of St Anne’s Preschool is to work
with parents/carers of children under
statutory school age to provide opportunities
for their children to learn and develop
through play activities in a safe and secure
environment.
We enhance the children’s development and
education by encouraging parents whatever
their gender, race, culture, religion, means or
ability to voluntarily become involved in the
activities and to understand and provide for
the needs of their children by offering this via
community groups and instigating and
adhering to and furthering the aims and
objectives of the Early Years Alliance.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|We promote independence, education,
health and wellbeing of children and
encourage parental involvement in their
education; redirection to other services to
help and support families, and carers.
A high priority is to help and support our staff
to continue in their professional development
(CPD) by attending relevant training courses,
together with signposting parents/carers to
free online or face to face courses to
become actively involved in the running of
the pre-school and/or to help them in other
areas..
We provide term time daily sessions for the
children for either 3, 5 or 6 hours each day
Mondays to Fridays and ensure we monitor
this to provide opportunities for all children
whatever their gender; disability; ethnicity;
culture; religion; or ability and recognise the
needs of the local families.
Activities that were held this year included
the children celebrating“World Book Day”by| |||dressing up as characters from a book. We
celebrated the King’s Coronation Day. We
supported children who were in receipt of
extra funding to access services which they
normally would not be able to i.e. a visit to
Paradise Wildlife Park where we provided a
coach for anyone who didn’t have their own
transport and musical storytime and dance
entertainers. We held an end of academic
year picnic, with a bouncy castle for the
children and parents/carers are invited back
into the sessions, including one who
becomes our Father Christmas and also
helps with the maintenance of the outdoor
areas.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The Trustees have read and acknowledged
the guidance issued by the Charity
Commission on public benefit, and to our
knowledge there has been no deviation from
the recommendations.
They meet regularly over the year and the
committee is made up of elected trustees.
Any new trustees would be given an up to
date induction pack, which gives them a brief
history of the Pre-school, Charity Structure,
and Election Process, Trustee Overview and
their roles and responsibilities.
The pre-school’s policies and procedures are
regularly reviewed and signed by the Chair
of the Committee.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|If available, the pre-school would apply for

and we always encourage parents/carers to
volunteer in various ways as they provide
additional support to the setting, staff and
children. They can bring in new ideas,
provide additional support and help to
provide training for anyone wishing to take
up childcare.
During this year we had 2 volunteers.| Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Working in partnership with parents/carers,
the pre-school continuously uses the
information obtained to carefully plan
activities and obtain resources to provide the
children with stimulating learning
experiences in line with their interests and
building on these to enhance their
development.
The pre-school offers a variety of sessions
which can be three, five or six hours long.
This enables parents/carers to seek job
opportunities around these hours helping
them to become financially independent and
develop their well being.
The sessions are offered to children between
the ages of 2 and 4 ½ years old. Some of
these children are entitled to the Free Early
Education Entitlement (FEEE) and the
preschool offers funded two year old places
to children who are entitled to 2 year old
funding.
We have had a number of children with SEN
and have provided the parents with support
and advice to help their child reach their full
potentials.
We employed seven fully experienced,
qualified and dedicated members of staff and
a Learning Support Assistant to help with the
children with SEN. Through various training
opportunities we ensure that they are up to
date with all statutory and regulatory
legislation pertaining to the pre-school and to
help the children in their development and
care together with opportunities to online
training courses.
We operate from a church hall and we
continue to have a good relationship with the
church members, who remain extremely
supportive of the work of the pre-school and
are always willing to be accommodating and
encouraging about our work with the local
community.
We were able to raise funds within this year| from fundraising activities including: Raffles, End of Term photos, Eco bags. All monies raised are spent on new toys/equipment for the children and for experiences like Reptile Ranch and Cheeky Chops Playtime to visit. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

financial position at the end

Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) which is
given to the children who have turned three
as well as entitled two year olds. The pre-
school also receives fees from parents
whose children are not entitled to the FEEE.

position and will be able to be sufficient in
the coming year.| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the

looking good. However, the trustees are
always looking at ways to raise our profile in

funding are received from the Local Authority
Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) for
2, 3 and 4 year olds, SEN grants and from
fee paying families who are not entitled to
FEEE.
We normally hold a few fund raising events
throughout the year including raffles,
sponsored events etc. The amount of funds
varies from year to year.| |Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted|Para 1.46|| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|Para 1.46|The principal risk for the charity would be a
reduction in the number of children wanting
to attend. Funded FEEE children are a
regular source of income, however the fee
paying children cannot usually afford to
attend for 15/30 hours per week and we are
only permitted to take 27 children in any one
session. Also once again the increasing
salary/pension costs have to be met usually
by an increase in fees for fee paying
families. During this financial climate fee
paying families tend to wait until their child is
funded before taking up a place.| |Other||| ## **Structure, Governance and Management** |Description of charity’s
