Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
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
Leaver's Picnic, which we ran at Mount Edgcumbe Park, this was very
successful.
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.
Our fundraising Murder mystery night was unfortunately postponed due
the fire at Mount Edgcumbe, this is due to now take part in October.
We held several family days and open days for all the community. This
continues to lead to a great amount of community support and
fundraising by various groups and businesses.

We are currently providing a pla￿rnent for a previous attendee of the
preschool to enable them to complete their Level 2 qualification.
We welcomed back a PHD university student who ran a project with the
children about sustainability and the environment.
Our Staff Team
The Kingrfsher staff team is made up of highly skilled and eXperIen￿d
members. They have continued to provide children of the community with
a high level of 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 2024,
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 continue to be awarded a grant
from The Fore this is £10000.00 of unrestricted funding to allow the setting to
work on community engagement, making the setting more financially viable
and reducing our costs.
We contiued to complete out project with 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.
We also applied for and have been successful in securing a grant from the
Carew Pole trust. This project is due to start in the Summer term, enabling
us to improve and continue our wonderful gardening projects with the
children and our community.
Using this money we will be able to enlarge our sandpit and improve our
mud kitchen area.
Make essential repairs to our raised beds and buy seeds, compost and a
wheelbarrow to continue to engage children in growing, raising and
consuming our own produce.
Through community engagement a group of parents, businesses and
volunteers fitted new bathrooms with a toddler sized toilet and sink. They
also removed the current heating system, installed a new air source heat
pump, and radiators.
They also installed a ventilation system to remove the damp in the building.
As well as a solar panel array and batteries enabling us to use, store and
produce our own energy to sell on.
We were re-inspected by Ofsted during our first week back of the academic
year and were given the rating of good.
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. Through being successful with the The Fore
grant and budgeting carefully we have managed to remain sustainable
and achieve this goal. However further rises to the national minimum
wage and costs are making this increasingly difficult.

responsibilities of The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given
examiner's statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a ￿VIeW of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual
items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the
trustees Con￿rning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true
and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the
statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
examiner's ststement (other than that disclosed below ")
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect,
the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act,. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met., or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
