Our story
The Peter Pan Playgroup for disabled children was established
in 1969. The children would play whilst their mums enjoyed a
chance to relax and make new friends. In 1992 the ploygroup
developed into the Peter Pan Nursery. registered with Ofsted
and social services, and in 2011, the Peter Pan Nursery moved
to its current premises on Hoon Avenue. The nursery rebranded
to become the Peter Pan Centre. a specialist development
centre for children with Speciol Educational Needs and
Disabilities (SEND), in 2014.
We now provide early education and family support at our cenlre through our Little Explorers ond
Little Adventurers sessions. Our Family Support & Outreach Service delivers specialist stay and play
sessions in the community. advice and information including support in the home. family fun sessions,
parent carer socials and training courses. We also help families with the transition to primary school.

with us
Florence is 4 years old ond she brightens up any room she enters. She finds comfort in
numbers, music (porticularly from the 805) and signsl Florence has a diagnosis of
outism, ARFID (ovoidont restrictive food intake disorder) and sensory processing disorder, with
particulor challenges around sleep and communication.
Florence'5 journey with the Peter Pan team started in March 2023 when she came to our SEND Stay and
Play sessions. Jodie. Florence's mum, says. "It's been the most wonderful journey and I am so grateful
to the Peter Pan Centre for everything. The help and support I hove received is obsolutely
immeasurable. from help with filling oul poperwork and supporting with school visits, to facing new
experiences in the community thot I could have never imagined conquering alone! Stay and Play meant
I met other familie5 who understand and ore going through similar things which was just an absolute
breath of fresh air. I have made Some of the most amozing supportive friendships and things don't
seem so lonely ond daunting now that I have people around me who understand.-
In September 2024 Florence started her Early Education placement at our Centre in Wolstanton. Jodie
says, "My Florence has the most special relationship with her key person Alice. The amount of love and
care she has given to her is so special. Florence gets very excited when we tell her that she's going to
see Alice, and she loves to look at photographs of what fun things they got up to during their time
together. It was a big step for me as a parent to a child with special needs to step back
and let somebody else take the reins but Alice quickly showed me that I hod nothing to
worry about. and that Florence is in the most copoble and nurturing hands."

Strategic Review
We are pleased to report an overall surFAus of £3,854 for the year. This is a tK)sitive outcome given
the 0[￿OIng challenges faced by the UK tharity sector, particularly in securirvJ grants and donations
due to the increased competition for limited funding stream5. Our positior> has been strengthened by
the thr& mulb"_ye8r grants highlighted in last yearfs repy)rt, all of which remain in place until at least
Ortober 2026.
We are espetially proud that this finanaal stakn.ltty has tEen athievd s*hile ftjrther developing our
service to deliver the highest stsndard of case, fully aligned with our prin(iples, wsion, and values.
This progress retlerts a year of strategic remew f¢Jcused on enhawng how we support childfftn with
SEND in their leaming and development Our approach has b￿n informed by wr own experience
and experbse, meaningful conversations key stakeFM)l(Iws. and valuatle feedback from families
through suNeys.
As a result, we continue to offer ¢JJr e￿sb1￿j 2.5 h￿r afte￿￿Tr ￿￿ments - now renamed '￿t￿e
Explorers, _ and have introduced a new 15 hour ￿aC￿ent for some of our most vulnerable thildren.
This will enable them to attend every m¢yning for hours, fve day5 a w￿￿ u[￿er the 'uttle
Adventurers, programrne. Our research indicates that this con%stFnt, regular support will maximise
the positive impart we can have on these Child￿n'S devdoprrbenL
These enhanced semces enable nw)re effective early inteNentton from our specialist wactioners from
day one, helping children to make faster progress. As a result. they can transts.on SUC￿5fUllY to

Ftnanaal review
Unrestricted free reserves at 31 (kiober 2025 totalled £119,OH (2024: 81,678). We f￿uenIJY have
a 3 to 4 year commitment to d)ildren who use our serm￿. Accordingly the Trustees endeavour to
aintsin sufficient unrestricted free reserves in the charity to pmmde resources adequate for at least
six months uninterrupted servi￿. At 31 October 2025 free reserves ￿present around 3.3
months of normal expenditure for the Centre, after iabJ"ng account of committed funds from a number
of trusts. As the setts"￿ cU￿nIJY has a 25 year life span the Trustees have deemed it prudent to
build a designated May)r Works Fund. This currenvy siar¥Js at £35,000.

Financial instntments
Cla￿fiCatiOn
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recc*Jnised when the (tsrity becomes a party to the
contrartual provisions of the 1r￿nJmenl
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are dassrfied accordiry to the substance i)f the contractual
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contrart t￿￿t ewdences a residual interest in
the assets of the charity after deduth.ng all of its liabilities.
All financial assets and liabilities are inib.ally measured at transactyon price {induding transaction
costs), ex￿pt for those finanaal assets dassified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are
initially measured at fair value (which is ￿miallY the transacti￿ pri￿ exduding trdnsaction costs),
unless the arrangement constbtutes a financing transath"on. If an aryarvJement constitutes a finaKing
transaction, the finan(ial asset or finanaal liability is Measu￿ at the present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest f(￿ a similar debt instrumw)L
Finanaal assets and liobilities are offset in the ststement of finanaJ F%Jsition when, and only
when there exists a legally enforceatAe right to set off the recognised arrK)unts and the charity
intend5 either to setue on a net bosi5, or to realise the asset and the liability simultaneously.
Finanaal assets are derecognised when only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows
from the financial asset expire or are setded, b) the chaiity transfers to arN)ther party substantially all
of the risks and rewards of ownership of the finanoal asset, or c) ￿ tharity, despite having retained
some, but not all. ygnificant risk5 afmj rewards of 0￿ne￿h1p, has transferred control of the asset to
another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised onty when the olA￿ation speafied in the contract is distharged,
carKdled or expires.
