TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
Year ended 31 July 2021
SECTION 1 – OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The aim of the Preschool is to enhance the learning and development of children
primarily under the statutory school age following government guidelines set out
through the Early Years statutory framework through the Early Years Foundation Stage.
The Preschool works in partnership with parents within the area to understand and
provide a service for all children within the local community. The Preschool does
this by:
-
a) Offering appropriate play, education and care facilities in an enriching and nourishing environment. This is done by offering parents extended hours to fit their needs and offers parents the rights to take responsibility to become involved in activities and opportunities for their children regardless of their race, culture, religion, means or ability. -
b) The Preschool studies and observes the needs of such children and their families by promoting public interest and in turn recognises and supports the needs within our local community. -
c) Adhering to the aims and objectives of the Preschool Learning Alliance and working closely with parent partners and governing bodies such as Ofsted the Preschool delivers a safe, nurturing and affordable Preschool for children to learn and grow.
We confirm the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity
Commission on public benefit.
Activities
The term time only Preschool offers a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment for
children aged 2,3 and 4 years old. The Preschool offers a huge range of resources and
activities for children to explore and extend their development throughout the Early
Years Foundation Stage. The Preschool use statutory guidelines and aid development of
all children who attend the setting through observation of learning. Government
funding for eligible children is allocated in accordance to guidelines to ensure it
is used to fund and support the children’s learning environment.
SECTION 2 – ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Preschool continue to provide nurturing, safe, quality affordable childcare
within the local community. We continue to improve our setting within our financial
constraints and using observations of the children within their play we as a setting
have been growing areas within the setting to offer enticing and enriching
opportunities.
We have been continuing to develop all areas within the setting to include more loose
parts and have been building this up over the year with purchases of jars, wooden
objects and number logs. Loose parts are materials and resources that have no pre-
planned use and support children’s play by helping them to explore their own learning
using their imagination.
We continue to build our outdoor space and have invested fundraising money into a new
planting area for the children to grow their own fruits and vegetables. We also use
this area to house our bug hotel that the children use to explore nature and the
natural environment. We purchased artificial grass for a small area of the garden so
that the children have different ground textures to explore within their outdoor
play. This offers enriching opportunities for those children who might not have an
outdoor area to explore at home.

SECTION 2 – ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
We have put focus on developing these areas so that we can also promote the use of
communication and language within the outdoor environment.
SECTION 3 – REVIEW OF FINANCIAL POSITION
The Preschool had a deficit of £29,290 compared to a deficit of £33,663 in the
previous year. This is mostly because of the setting still recovering from the
effects of closing due to Covid-19. We are still building up our numbers as we had
fewer children when we re-opened. The government funding per child is also very low
and this has impacted on the amount of money we have received per funded child.
Reserves
We currently hold a reserve fund of £25,933 in a separate account, the aim of this is
to sustain the daily operation of the Preschool should the income levels fall below
the expected. Alternatively, in the unlikely event the Preschool should need to close
the reserve fund would be used to cover staff redundancies.
Principle sources of funds (including fundraising)
Our primary source of funding is from the Government. The Preschool received 86% from
Government funding, this was received termly from Hampshire County Council. The
Preschool received just under 10% from fees for non-funded hours.
This year, due to Covid-19 the Preschool received 4% furlough payment through the
Government furlough scheme. This helped support the Preschool through Covid-19, as in
line with guidance set out by the Government.
The Preschool is also registered as a charity through HMRC and is eligible to claim
gift aid on qualifying donations.
SECTION 4 – STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Governing Document for Alverstoke Preschool is the ‘Preschool Learning Alliance –
Model Preschool Learning Alliance Constitution 2011’. We are members of the Preschool
Learning Alliance, and adhere to their guidelines. Alverstoke Preschool is an
unincorporated Charity, and its Trustees are elected by Members.

3. Correction of prior year errors
The comparatives have been restated to correct material misstatements in the opening
balance figures as at 1 September 2017. Brought forward restricted funds totalling
£89,446 have been reclassified as unrestricted funds.
When made aware of the need for fund accounting in 2018, the Trustees apportioned the
opening balances on a 20:80 split (unrestricted: restricted), following the ratio for
incoming resources at that point. Upon reflection, this was deemed inappropriate as
all restricted funds at that point should have been expended under the terms of the
funding.
