**Commission on public**
**benefit)**|As our charity’s aim is to provide early years education for pre school
children we are guided by OFSTED’s principles outlined in the EYFS
(Early Years Foundation Stage). Pre-schoolers learn best when they are engaged
in meaningful activities and experiences; our Pre-School setting is arranged with
play and learning stations as well as space for sharing and circle time, teacher
led activities and quiet/reading time. The children are immersed in purposeful
learning experiences and numerous opportunities are provided to help meet
the children’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs. Playtime and
sharing are essential as these enable children to learn from each other and the
world around them.
We always consider that each child develops at a different rate and strive to
provide a setting that allows all children to feel successful in our safe, secure
and supportive learning environment.
We provide this opportunity for children in the local area aged between 2 and 5
years old.
The trustees of the Pre-School are satisfied that they have complied with their
duty to have due regard to the commission’s public benefit guidance when
exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.| ## Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 2 ## Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main** The Pre-School has been fully subscribed in the current year, reflecting the **achievements of the charity** good standing and reputation the Pre-School has in the community and **during the year** surrounding area. The Pre-School also were awarded Outstanding by Ofsted. As further explained below, following the health of the previous financial year the committee took the decision to reinvest funds into the pre-school to ensure it met with, and continued to meet with, the OFSTED outstanding certificate awarded and to continue to offer the excellent service the Pre-School provides. ## **Section E Financial review** |**Brief statement of the**
**charity’s policy on reserves**
**Details of any funds materially**
**in deficit**|Increased income for 2019/20 was driven by an increase in funding and fees
however cost also increased as staff pay was increased in line with minimum
wage increases. Despite the disruption due to COVID there was an overall profit
for 2019/20. The funds that were ringfenced but unspent due to the closure of
the pre-school have been rolled into 2020/21 to invest into equipment.
The aim of the Pre-School’s reserves policy is to maintain sufficient reserves to
provide for redundancy and creditors in the unlikely event that the Pre-School
has to close. Reserves were maintained at £14,000. This figure is comfortably
more than would be needed in such an event.
The committee committed to invest in staff training, equipment and were able
to award pay rises for the staff to mark the excellent service provided at the
Pre-School.| |---|---| ||| ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** |**Signature(s)**
