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

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 preschools (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 Pre-School 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 and/or staff on request. We also receive support and guidance from the City of York Council's Early Years Team.

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.

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)

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.

The focus of the Pre-School remains the desire to provide high quality, affordable, flexible childcare for our local community. This benefits the parents by giving them local choice for childcare, which is of the highest quality and convenience, being on the same site as the local primary school.

In planning activities for the year, we have continued to keep in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. In particular, we have continued to regularly review our fee 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)

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

We are run by and for the local parents. 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 Pre-School as helpers. We also ask parents to help out at our fundraising events.

Section D Achievements and performance

5 March 2012

TAR

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The pre-school have continued to have good practises to ensure that the staff and children remain well from covid 19.

We have retained most staff which is a positive element for the children so they are familiar faces.

We achieved the Arnold Clark grant of £1000 and we are excited to start a sensory room for the children in the next academic year.

We have had to adapt our practice due to more challenging children joining the setting. This is because some social housing has been built in the catchment area.

Section E Financial review
