**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
Lavendon Pre-School is a small, friendly trustee managed pre-school providing a varied, interesting and informative Early Years education and childcare for children between the age of two to five years from Lavendon and the surrounding villages. We offer 15 and 30 hours free government funding per week for children aged 3- 4 years, additional hours are also available. We currently have funded 2 year olds attending the Pre-school that meet the current ‘Time for 2’s’ funding criteria. The Pre-School employs 4 part-time staff (Leader, Deputy Leader and Assistants) during the year to provide a daily morning sessions (9am to 12pm) and an afternoon session (12pm-3pm) Monday to Friday. Full days are available. Whilst numbers allow we also operate a lunch club to allow the morning children to stay for an extra hour 12-1pm for lunch. We welcome all children within the age range regardless of personal circumstance, gender, faith, cultural background and lingual ability.
The Pre-School is located in the heart of the village adjacent to the village playing field providing an excellent location for outdoor activities and involvement in community events.

Section D Achievements and performance
Numbers were sustainable at the beginning of this academic year and **Summary of the main** have increased by the end of the year. This has been helped by more of **achievements of the charity** the new housing development in the village being finished. We expect **during the year** numbers to improve going forward as lots of families with small children are moving in. As pupil numbers increase the Pre-School increases staff hours to ensure ratios are maintained. All sessions are covered by a minimum of 2 qualified members of staff plus 1 additional staff member as ratios require. All staff are already fully qualified or working towards childcare qualifications. There have been less opportunities for volunteers due to Covid-19. All children who wanted to attend were given a place; activities have gone back to normal towards the end of the academic year after Covid19 but we have remained open due to the government rule changes for Early Years. We pride ourselves in providing a variety of exciting activities and opportunities for the children. These are provided to capture the children's interests and help them to grow in independence and confidence, as well as gain knowledge and enthusiasm towards learning. Our curriculum is inclusive and celebrates diversity. The aim is to guide our children to become responsible citizens of the future. We follow the children's interests, as well as the EYFS statements. **Activities & Themes included:** All about me Bonfire Night Hibernation Dinosaurs Healthy Eating Shapes Diwali Transport Life Cycles of People Winter Chinese New Year Clothes Hand Washing Spring Life Cycles of Plants Life in the Sea Halloween Autumn Christmas Life Cycles of Animals Starting School During our learning journey, we offer a range of further opportunities to ignite our children's interests such as:Cooking Gardening Music Forest School We continued with our lunch club to extend the morning session until 1pm and registration fees for new children which paid for a welcome pack and t-shirt for each child. In order to provide a more wholesome snack we also asked for snack donations. A significant contribution is made by the committee members who provide a management service to the Pre-School. Due to a lack of committee members we have not done any fundraising for preschool this year, but we have raised money for other charities including Children in Need. The planning work for the garden is complete and the garden is finally booked to be completely overhauled at the beginning of next year. This will now be funded by S106 Money via the Parish Council.
