They must oversee the management of an open and efficient process and always act in the best interests of the charity. The trustees are elected from the parents of the children attending the setting. Ideally those elected have suitable experience for the role. If this is not possible the outgoing trustees will ensure suitable training and supervision 15 given in the handover. All current trustees have completed the courses on the free training website run through Pre School Alliance called Educare. These include such courses as Safeguarding and the Role of the Trustees. Sertion C Objectives and artivities Summary of the objectives of the charity set out in the constitution: The aims of the Pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parent5 to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by: lal Offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, together with the right of parent5 to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability; Ibl Encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local areas; Icl Instigation and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Pre-school Learning Allia nce. Surnmary of the main actlvities undertaken for the publlc benefit in relation to these objectives Provided a safe, secure, happy and stimulating environment for the preschool age children to learn and develop through play. This was within the EYFS framework with learning through games and play, covering the following topics: communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, expressive arts and design. Child ren of school age were prepared by visits to the local schools, picnics and topic subjects included within the session. Under Section 17151 of the Charities Act and the Charities (Accounts and Reports} Regulations 2008, the trustees are aware of the commission's public benefit guidance. At the annual planning meeting the occupancy levels were increased and the hourly rate set at a level to ensure that the playgroup was more accessible but still within staff to child ratios. Section D Achievements and Performance Summary of the main achTevements of the charity during the year Staff and committee work together closely to ensure all government guidelines are adhered to. The Playgroup is now operating at near full capacity and the setting is open Monday- Friday 9am - 3pm term time. Parkview playgroup benefits from the experience of long serving staff and the introduction of new member whilst continuing to study courses and improving their skills to hold higher levels and up to date certificates. The Charity is considered to be financially stable. Our main income is from fees however the introduction of voluntary consumable contribution has helped massively. We have done some smaller fundraising this year and our families have been very supportive. Many of our children started school in September and they left playgroup as happy, confident and sociable children who are a credit to the dedicated team of staff and ethos of Parkview. There have been no complaints or incidents that require a report to Ofsted. Section E Financial Review The majority of funds come from Hampshire County Council1£ 7.81 for 2 years and £5.61 for 3 - 4 year olds) under the government funding scheme, with the remainderfrom parents1£8 for 2-year- olds and £6 for 3 - 4-year-oldsl. We also have a voluntary daily contribution of £2 to help cover consumables. This is made clear to families it is optional and we have introduced paperwork to read and sign to confirm it is not obligatory. Most families are happy to pay this amount added to their invoicing. Reserves are held to help the setting operate effectively. Trustees keep the reserves policy and the level of reserves held under review, but Parkview aims to hold cash reserves equivalent to 3 months, worth of operating costs. Trustees monitor the level of reserves monthly. In this way trustees wi15 be aware of the build-up of excess reserves or of reserves being unexpectedly or rapidly depleted. Having set the reserves level or range in which it is desirable to operate, trustees monitor the reseNes actually held to establish the reason for any significant difference with the target level set. If reseNes during the year are below target or exceed target, the trustees consider whether this is due to a short-term situation or a longer-term issue. Attion may then be needed to replenish or spend reserves. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees, report above.
