Tiddlywinks Pre-School (Bessacarr) Ltd. Report to the Directors/Trustees For the Year Ended 31st May 2024
The board of Directors/Trustees presents its report with the un-audited financial statements of the Limited Company by Guarantee and an incorporated Charity for the year ended 31 May 2024.
LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION
The Companies/Charity’s governing structure is its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Tiddlywinks Pre-School objective is to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age by encouraging parents/carers to understand and provide the needs of their children through a community preschool. Its principal activity is that of providing flexible quality childcare to children aged 0 to 5.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
• Tiddlywinks Pre-School continues to improve the quality of childcare offered to parents/carers and all their children. Enhancing the facilities as demand requires, especially due to the new Government announcement of offering universal childcare entitlement from 3 years to 2 years on the 1[st] of April 2024. Tiddlywinks Pre-School will continue to provide childcare given the challenges of meeting children’s individual needs each year on year becomes even greater. The reason for this is that more children/families are requiring more need for support (i.e. speech & Language, SEN, behavioural problems and family breakdowns) as a result there are longer waiting lists for external agencies. Therefore, Tiddlywinks Pre-School has had to financially support enhance ratios throughout the sessions/days at a cost to the organisation. This is even though we do receive minimal support (e.g. 1.5 hours in a child’s normal 6- hour session) from Doncaster City Council they’re through the Inclusion team for Early Intervention Allowance. This is only paid term time only and with the additional resources, training, meetings and staffing costs which the setting has incurred to maintain the best possible standards.
-
We continue to offer childcare which is accessible to the wider community with the increased awareness of Tiddlywinks Pre-School with its prominent main road position into Doncaster.
-
We are still the only childcare provision within the area to offer flexible
-
hours this demand is required by parents working/studying, children are continuing stay for longer hours per day.
• The employment of eight members of staff and increasing their development and opportunities through individual training programs. The staff have the minimum level 3 in childcare, one having a level 4 and 1 with BA. (Hons.) degree. 1 apprentice due to complete by June 24. 2 support staff (1 selfemployed) & 1 cleaner.
• We also continue to support students/volunteers to gain the necessary experience and qualifications to go into childcare & Health & Social Care (Level
3).
-
Tiddlywinks enhances its work with multi agencies to support the needs of
-
each individual child/parent & carer with the best possible outcome for all concerned.
-
Children’s numbers continue to be maintained and now receiving the additional 30 hours funding for working parents who qualify.
