Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document:
The charity works for the public benefit having as its objects the development and education of children and young people in particular by:
(1) Promoting their care and safety;
(2) Promoting their education and promoting parental involvement;
(3) Promoting their health and wellbeing;
(4) Providing services to support them and their families and carers;
(5) Providing services to individuals holding membership of the CIO
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects:
As a pre-school we feel we achieve our objects on a daily basis. We have all the relevant and up to date policies and procedures in place to promote and achieve the care, safety, health and wellbeing of all the children in our care. We adhere to the strict educational guidelines which are set out by Ofsted and ensure that all children are meeting their educational and development needs. We have a very good relationship with all our parents and carers and we uphold an open door policy approach where they are welcome to visit the setting or contact the staff as they please. We work very closely with all parents/ carers to involve them with the running of the setting and with their children’s progress and development.
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year:
Our main achievement as a pre-school for the year has been to continue maintaining our numbers thus keeping us viable and sustainable to ensure that local families have access to good quality childcare and education for the under 5’s. We continue to have a strong involved committee.
We have had another successful transition year of children into mainstream school and we are again looking at extending our opening hours which help and support parents returning to work.
We have had another year of successful fundraising within our own setting which has enable us to replace many of our resources that have broken and to continue developing our outside play area. This has enabled us to continue to provide excellent service delivery to all the children who attend from the local area.
Brief statement of the charities policy on reserves:
Little Jesters Pre-School is currently dependent on early years funding and some private fees from parents to sustain its activities. A low number of children attending the nursery would not allow Little Jesters Pre-School to continue operating. This means that if there were not enough children attending then it is likely that Little Jesters Pre-School would either have to look at reducing hours or having to close down. To avoid closure should funding difficulties were to happen, then Little Jesters committee have agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of 3 months. The main concern of the board is to ensure:
-
That staff can continue working with the children within the setting while the committee tries to promote the pre-school and get the number of children increased.
-
We also have to take into account the increase in the living wage and introduction of pensions for staff.
Currently funding can be secured from term to term, but if difficulties were to arise then it has been calculated that reserves of £6000 would be needed to continue running for at least 3 months. The calculations are included as an appendix to this policy. The reserves should be built up from the unrestricted income. The level of reserves should be calculated and monitored every 12 months by Little Jesters PreSchool committee.
