Our Staff Team

The Kingifsher staff team is made up of highly skilled and experienced members. They have continued to provide children of the community with outstanding care, even throughout times of financial uncertainty for the charity. The children continue to receive an enriching, broad and balanced curriculum. We reviewed pay levels at the end of March 2022, in line with NMW increases, sadly our funding levels didn’t increase at the same level so we were unable to offer any additional pay increases to our team.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

The Pre-school only has 1 current account. The aim of the Pre-school is to keep three months of salary payments and running costs in the Current Account at all times. Unfortunately, due to the discrepancies in increases in National Minimum wage, minimal funded children and costs increases this hasn’t been achieved.
