ction D Achievements and performance Activities We continued to run our Nature Club which provided opportunities for children to develop holistically in the outdoors and welcomed use of the local woods and beach. In the Summer Term, we welcomed children and families for the annual Leaverfs Picnic, which we ran at Mount Edgcumbe Park, this was very successful. Our planned theatre trip was unfortunately cancelled. We held events for our children and the public such as an, Easter Eggstravaganza and Halloween Trail. This encouraged expression of interests for new starters. We ran a Fundraising Murder mystery night whose populatity took us by surprise. This was in conjunction with Mount Edgcumbe House and is something we are keen to try again next year. We held several families days and an open day for all the community where we showed the films we had made of the preschool. This was an amazing SucsS and led to a great amount of community fundraising by various groups and businesses.

ection 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. This year we have managed to reduce our outgoings and start to build up the contingency fund again.
