Governance and management
The charity is operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 9[th] May 2011. Trustees are appointed through recruiting our parents/carers. We are currently having a committee drive, we have lots of new parents who are interested, we will be getting them on board over the summer break.
Objectives and activities
The aims of the pre-school are to;
-
Enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups;
-
Offer appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hour’s 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;
-
Encourage the study of needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local areas;
-
Instigate, adhere to and further the aims and objectives of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, the local government and Ofsted.
Public benefit statement
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit'.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit
Our aim is to provide a high quality, affordable education for children under the age of 5 following the guidance of Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage. We encourage parents to take an active role, by volunteering on our committee or during sessions.

Summary of the main achievements during the period
Due to Coronavirus, we closed in March 2020 and didn't reopen to the children until September 2020. We were unable to open as the community centre was closed during this time.
We furloughed staff from April 2020, up until they were furloughed they accessed relevant training whilst at home.
Natalie Kiernan, Toni Thompson and Joanne Flint were not furloughed. Natalie and Toni were able to come into the setting and collate home packs for the children to do whilst at home. Joanne continued with admin support.
We have been quite low on children’s numbers since March 2020, as a lot of parents were still quite apprehensive about bringing their children to nursery during the pandemic. We have managed to get through the pandemic, and our numbers are rising rapidly. We are very thankful for all of the support from our families.
The charity’s policy on reserves
We have a policy in place to state that we will keep £35,000 in reserves. At the moment we are using some of our reserves. This is due to a lack of income due to the pandemic.
Financial review
We ran at a loss this financial year, but it was quite understandable and expected that this would happen due to the pandemic. As we were shut at the start of the summer 2020 term we were unable to have a new intake of children which was quite detrimental to our income. Also we were unable to claim the full 80% furlough money from the government, we were only entitled to claim what losses we made from the parents who pay fees which worked out at 18.6%. We were still paying staff 100% of their wages during closure. As there was still some anxiety from the parents when we reopend in September, this also caused us to have less children in the setting which also contributed to the deficit. We looked at different grants that were available but unfotunately we were not eligible to receive any as we were still getting funding from the government for the funded children who attend the nursery.
We hope that next financial year will be will be a better one, once parents are more confident sending their children to nursery, we will have a full and busy nursery. If for any reason we have to close the nursery again this may have a severe effect on whether we will be able to reopen again. We have some reserves in the bank for redundancies if this has to happen, but this will be a last resort measure. We have increased the price of fees for paying children. We will be looking at increasing our funded children from April 2021 as we do have a healthy waiting list. During the Autumn term we will look at whether we can have a Christmas fair (in line with Coronavirus restrictions) these are always very lucrative. Promoting the committee and finding willing fundraisers would be a bonus!
