We are a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). 

How the charity is constituted 

(eg. trust, association, company) 

Trustee selection methods 

(eg. appointed by, elected by) 

Our constitution confirms that new trustees may be nominated and appointed by current Trustees. 

## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: 

- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; 

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

- relationship with any related parties; 

- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. 

We continue to operate with a small group of trustees (two former parents of preschool children and our two preschool managers), though we hope that new members may join our committee and take on a trustee role, in the future. 

**Safeguarding -** All Trustees are subject to a DBS check and are required to understand their safeguarding responsibilities (as outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024). We undertake regular safeguarding training and have this as a rolling agenda item at our committee meetings. 

- **Training and Induction -** Trustees meet regularly and work collaboratively on all aspects of the role. Induction and training routinely take place during regular committee meetings. We also access external training when required for example from The Education People or National College. 

- **Wider Networks** The preschool was the lead setting of a local collaboration of similar settings until the end of the academic year 2023. Since this time, we have continued to work with external professionals, including Early Years Inclusion Advisors, the Local Inclusion Forum Team (consisting of Specialist Teachers, Health Visitors, and Social Services representatives), and a Sufficiency Officer. Pre-school staff continue to work collaboratively with Anthony Roper Primary School staff, notably to support student transitions. 

- **Risk Management** Committee members review risks during termly meetings and take mitigating action. 

## **Section C                    Objectives and activities**

In relation to these objectives, the charity’s main activity is to deliver the Early Year Foundation Stage to children aged 2-5, within our inclusive setting. 

We do this by employing experienced, well qualified and highly competent Pre-School Managers and a team of talented Early Years Educators, who together provide opportunities for all children to learn, develop, stay safe and healthy. Our work being expertly supported by our work of our Admin Assistant. 

We are guided by the needs and interests of our children and continue to deploy a key person approach to ensure the progress and well-being of individual children is carefully monitored. We provide our staff with regular training and maintain a stimulating learning environment.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

- In terms of our main achievements this academic year (September 2023 to July 2024): • We employ a talented team of Early Educators, led by extremely experienced and knowledgeable managers. Our staff are our most valuable asset, and we remain fortunate to have retained a well-trained team of able and enthusiastic practitioners. 

- • We have delivered high-quality education to the children attending our setting, and working proactively with our parent/carer stakeholders, we are committed to evaluating and wherever possible improving provision. 

- • Last year we gained the Education for Sustainable Development Award, being judged as ‘excellent’ in all areas; this recognises the setting’s significant focus on the environment and on re-using and re-cycling. 

- • We are pleased to have remained financially stable in a very challenging climate for pre-school settings. This has not been the case for a number of local settings that have ceased to exist as a result. In 2023-24, like many settings, we experienced many external factors that increased our outgoings. The efforts of all team members have helped us to navigate this challenging period. Working proactively with the external Sufficiency Officer, subsequently, we have planned and delivered a number of new approaches to help protect the setting financially going forward, despite the ongoing challenges to early years settings nationally. 

- • We have been able to begin to offer the government’s extended 30-hours scheme to our families and have updated our terms and conditions and delivery patterns. We have worked with our families to explore the delivery of suitable and cost-effective extended hours. 

- • We have continued to work hard to try to address the flooding that takes place in one of our gardens. We are extremely keen to resolve this to allow our children full access to the setting’s outdoor space. We have worked proactively with the school, from whom we rent the land, and we have communicated with KCC (in light of the school being a foundation school), and the Environment Agency, who house water monitoring equipment within the plot of land we rent from the school. We are hopefully that our communication with these stakeholders has moved us closer to having this matter resolved, for the benefit of the attending children. 

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

Our policy is to hold the equivalent of a (short) term’s funds as a reserve to enable us to manage cash flow during the autumn terms, when income is lower and to enable us to pay our staff, should the Pre-School need to close for a period due to unforeseen circumstances, such as building damage. We are currently working to build up our reserves following this year’s financial challenges.
