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 Suc￿sS and led to a great amount of community fundraising by
various groups and businesses.

achievements of the charity
during the year

New Staff:
We welcomed one new volunteer from the local community and one new
member of bank staff.
We also provided a placement for a previous attendee of the preschool to
enable them to complete their Level 3 qualification.
Additionally, we welcomed back a local university student who is
continuing her PHD project with the children.
Our Staff Team
The Kingrfsher 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 2023
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.

Grant fundin
We were very lucky to be successful and were awarded a grant from The
Fore this is £10000.00 of unrestricted funding to allow the seth'ng to work on
community engagement, making the setting more financially viable and
reducing our costs.
We were also successful when applying for a grant from Groundworks UK.
This enabled us to expand our gardening projects, building new habitats,
creating a border for pollinators and a pond area. We also purchased several
water butts and large water tanks which should ensure we no longer have to
use mains water to water the poly tunnel and garden in the summer months.

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.
