| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | Victoria Gems, Jewels and Treasures is made up of three groups providing Wraparound and After School Care for children who attend the infant department of Victoria Community Primary School. We also provide LEA funded Early Education for 3-year-old children in the term/s prior to them starting their nursery provision. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Little Gems provides quality, affordable childcare for our nursery children prior to, or following on from their nursery session at the school. Jewels provides affordable flexible childcare for our infant children after school up to 5.30pm. These groups enable our working parents to continue to work in the knowledge that their child is being cared for in a safe and stimulating environment. Little Treasures is our funded Early Education group enabling parents to access Foundation Phase provision for 1 or 2 terms prior to their child starting their nursery provision. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The trustees have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. Our main purpose is to provide wraparound care for children in our care. We provide a service to a section of society ie the working parents and carers of our children and this is our focus and why we exist. In all that we do as trustees we will ensure that our action and work will further the |
services that we provide for our parents and children.

Achievements and Performance

|---|---|---|
| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Our setting has continued to provide quality affordable childcare for working parents since 2001. We have been able to adapt to increasing numbers of children wanting to attend by opening for morning and afternoon sessions and have provided an Early Education group since 2011. We have consistently high numbers of children attending and have therefore been able to employ additional staff who have been able to further their own professional development. We support our local community through visits to age-appropriate recreational and educational facilities and have received numerous visitors to the setting to further develop the children's knowledge and understanding of the world around them. |

| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Below are the audited reports of both groups from April 2023 to end March 2024. Our Little Treasures group consists of Early Education children for whom we receive funding from the local authority. We have a Service Level Agreement in place with the Local authority to this effect which is normally reviewed every two years. For Gems and Jewels, we receive income from fees charged to parents and carers and also from the local authority via the 30-hour Childcare Offer. Parents of 3- and 4-year-old children can access the offer to cover childcare costs for the hours attended at our Little Gems and Jewels groups. Fees charged to parents not on the scheme are also reviewed regularly to ensure that they are in line with fees paid by the Offer. |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | We aim to hold an amount of £26,000 in our Reserves Policy, to cover redundancies and/or other unforeseen events that could cause the setting to close or temporarily cease to operate. |
