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 **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)** (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 **TAR** Dec **2022** 2 ## Section D Achievements and erformance p **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. As further explained below, following the health of previous financial years 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**|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. Our current reserves for this is £12,000, although this year, this figure was
comfortably more than would be needed in such an event.
While there has been a deficit of £3,039 recorded this year we have had some “one-
off” expenses that will not be required next year. These relate heavily to the “wild
garden” but we believe this gives huge benefits to the pre-school and will in future
allow the potential for higher fee’s if required for financial stability.
Additionally due to the increase in the minimum wage and inflation we have been
required to increase staff wages. While this will be an ongoing expense, we have
increased fees for the next academic year to counter this although we are taking a
phased approach to this.
The committee committed to invest in staff training, equipment and facilities. It
must also be noted the great achievement by staff in such difficult circumstances
that the continued Covid 19 pandemic created, they continued to provide childcare
to the highest calibre and support the financial stabilityof thepre-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)**
