The Pre-School is run by a management committee made up volunteers from our parent group, as volunteers from staff and the wider community in Fulford. The management committee is responsible for the overall management of the Pre-School, specifically including: Setting of fees and salaries and ensuring the viability of the Pre-School Fundraising Events Setting and reviewing of policies and procedures Ensuring compliance with all statutory guidelines.

The Trustees are supported by the professional childcare staff employed to run the Pre-School, who are responsible for the smooth running of the setting on a day-to-day basis. The Trustees rely on the staff to implement the policies and procedures and act within statutory guidelines set out for pre-schools (day care standards etc). Regular committee meetings allow discussion and review of pre-school matters with staff.

The Pre-School is registered with OFSTED. We are members of the PreSchool Learning Alliance (PSLA) and are supported by their local staff. The PSLA provides us with resources to ensure we comply with current OFSTED guidelines and within the Charities Act and visit the committee

Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

Fulford Pre-School aims to enhance the individual child’s development through play, in partnership with parents/carers, to create an effective learning environment for all children in a safe, happy and stimulating day care setting.

In order to achieve this we will: Provide a safe, healthy, stimulating and caring environment where children can learn through play and where all their developmental needs are met Promote caring attitudes, tolerance and respect for others and for special educational needs. Treat children with respect and as an individual to build their self-confidence and independence. Promote learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Develop a successful and active partnership between parents and the Pre-School, supported by an elected committee. Clear all staff with the Disclosure and Barring Service. Support our staff through our staff development programmes. Summary of the main activities The focus of the Pre-School remains the desire to provide high quality, undertaken for the public affordable, flexible childcare for our local community. This benefits the benefit in relation to these parents by giving them local choice for childcare, which is of the highest objects (include within this quality and convenience, being on the same site as the local primary section the statutory school. declaration that trustees have In planning activities for the year, we have continued to keep in mind the had regard to the guidance Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustee issued by the Charity meetings. In particular, we have continued to regularly review our fee Commission on public benefit) structure and bad debt policies and considered carefully and at length our wider social responsibilities. Many of the children make use of the free 15 hours funding in line with City of York guidelines for early years funding. Early Years’ experience outside of the home develops self-confidence, social skills and provides a head start when starting school. Our inclusion policy ensures that these benefits are available to the local community and beyond, without discrimination.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

We encourage our volunteers to be involved through open committee meetings, termly newsletters, termly fundraising events, and participation in sessions.

Unlike many local playgroups, we are proud that we do not have a mandatory parent rota. Many of our parents work, and this would not be achievable. If parents desire, we encourage them to come into the PreSchool as helpers. We also ask parents to help out at our fundraising events. You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
