Main Purpose - The Village Pre-School aims to:
-
Provide high quality care and education for children below statutory school age
-
• Work in partnership with parents to help children to learn and develop
-
Add to the life and well-being of its local community
-
• Offer children and their parents a service which promotes equality and values diversity
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)
The Pre-School does this by running sessions from 09.00am – 12 noon and 12 noon – 3.00pm, Monday to Friday over 38 weeks. Due to Covid-19 and restrictions in place we have not been able to offer any additional sessions such as breakfast and after school club.
We have space for 35 3-Year olds but sessions are usually a mix of 2-4 Year olds. As a result, we normally have 25-30 children attend each session, admission to pre-school is based on date of birth and priority given to older children. From June 2020 to August 2020 we had a significant reduced number of children on site due to re-opening following pandemic, we had 2 bubbles of only 10 children.
The Pre-School is fully inclusive and has several children with additional needs on roll. Children are helped to settle in by being assigned a Key person who also makes a ‘Learning Journal’ Profile book with observations and photos of their Key Children which is shared with parents.
The Village Pre-School works for the public benefit by having as its objectives the development and education of pre-school children. The trustees have regard to the guidance on the public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Section D Achievements and performance
Everything is running smoothly with pre-school staff members and the Summary of the main senior management of the club with our current opening times; achievements of the charity during the year Days are now 09.00am – 3.00pm (term time) Website, social media and good word of mouth has helped us to maintain a steady number of families using our services at the setting, with a healthy waiting list.
We had a level 2 childcare student with us from September 2019 until March 2020 (Pre-School Closure and Covid-19)
Special Needs – We continue to cater for children with special needs, with continued support from the area Senco throughout the year.
Forest School – Forest school sessions continued on a Wednesday morning whatever the weather, our forest school leader Beth has supported staff to encourage them to develop an interest of outdoor surroundings which in turn has benefited the children. We also made a decision to follow this ethos throughout covid-19 encouraging as much time outdoors as possible. It’s a very popular session, so much that we are now discussing additional days for the future and have discussed talks about training another member of staff Indra to be trained at Level 3.
Outings – Summer trip was unfortunately cancelled due to Covid-19, possibilities of next year if and once we overcome the current pandemic.
Extra Curriculum - John Webb continued to provide Music sessions for the children until December 2020. Due to covid-19 we had no extra curriculum activities with the restrictions in place.
Events – Other events include, Halloween party, Christmas activity day, pancake day, Chinese New Year, Mother’s Day tea activities There were also termly parent consults, however these were switched to online due to the pandemic and parents were able to offer their feedback.
Staff Training – Staff continue to use noodle online training, however when we were forced for closure March 2020, staff were asked to do several courses online from home.
15/ 30 Hour Funding continued. Some parents now pay their fees using tax-free childcare and others continue to use childcare vouchers.

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the
charity’s policy on reserves
The Pre-School holds a contingency fund of around £40,000 in a savings account to act as a safety net for emergencies and possible redundancies if the business were to close.
The Village Pre-School is now online via QuickBooks, set up with banking to access in August 2020 and track parents’ payments for fees, we find this is a more modern and efficient way of managing our accounts.
Details of any funds materially in deficit
Further financial review details (Optional information)
You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:
-
the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
-
how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
Our main source of income is from government funding, due to covid-19 restrictions other funding this year has been very limited.
Upon closure we had to furlough 2 members of staff for the short fall that we could not make up, therefore we had a furlough grant from HMRC to the total of £1,807.30.
- investment policy and Usually we have a Summer Fair to fund an end of term trip for the objectives including any children, but again due to the pandemic we were unable to have the ethical investment policy Summer Fair or the trip this year with restrictions. adopted.
