## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 1[st] January 2024 To 31[st] December 2024** **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 childrencelebrating“WorldBook Day”| |||where they could dress up in any character
in a book and bring the book in to read
during the session. Easter/Spring Bonnet
Concert/Parade. Children were asked to
design a hat with their parents beforehand
and then they were able to show them off to
their parents/carers at a coffee morning.
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 Lea Valley Farm & Park. We invited
“Living Things” into the setting and they
brought a variety of different animals in for
the children to see/hold. We held an end of
academic year picnic, with a bouncy castle
for the children and parents/carers are
invited back into the sessions. We held a
Christmas concert in the local church for
parents/carers to come and watch and held
an end of term Christmas party which
included a party entertainer for the children
and our resident volunteer who becomes our
Father Christmas and also helps with the
maintenance ofthe outdoorareas.| |---|---|---| |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)**

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, and End of Term photos. All monies raised are spent on new toys/equipment for the children and for experiences like Living Things and a Christmas Entertainer to visit. In July 2024 we were awarded a Tesco Stronger Starts grant which was to enhance our garden area to build a “growing area” for vegetables/fruits and encourage the children to help to plant these, watch and help them grow and finally be able to eat them for their snack. This project needed to be completed by July 2025. ## **Additional information (optional)** ## You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|Para 1.47|As previously stated the principal sources of
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. The introduction of 2year olds from working families being able to access 15hours free has made an impact as those children are accessing the whole 15hours whereas previously they may only have accessed 2 or 3 sessions due to the costs involved.
