## St Mary’s Little Rainbows St Mary’s Little Rainbows is a charitable incorporated organisation which operates to benefit the children and parents of our school community. Our fees are set at a level to ensure it is affordable for parents. Our charity is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. ## OUR OBJECTIVE Our objectives are set to reflect the ethos of our school; Believing and growing, learning and achieving with God by our side. It is important to us that we offer after school care for our children with staff that make them feel happy and safe, as well as giving them the option of child led learning. ## ABOUT US We have been registered as a charity since 16th June 2021. Due to covid, our previous after school private provider could no longer provide a service to our families which prompted us, as a school, to make steps to providing after school care for our families. School staff help with the day to day running of the staff which helps the young children transition into the after school club setting much easier as they are familiar with the staff. We are currently unregistered so we are unable to provide a service longer than 1 hour 59 minutes. We do have staff that are qualified to Level 3 Playworker. ## STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT The charity trustees are responsible for the overall management and control of St Mary’s Little Rainbows Charity. The day to day running of St Mary’s Little Rainbows after school club is run by Miss Amanda Watkins, Mr Harri Millington, Mrs Naomi Davies and MissTessa Jones. The after school club runs on site at St Mary’s Aided Primary school. It caters for Foundation Phase children that finish school at 3pm and KS2 Children that finish at the slightly later time of 3.15pm. The club runs until 5.30pm daily. Parents book their children into the club via an online form. Payments are taken with the ParentPay app and payments go directly into the St Mary’s Little Rainbows bank account. We are a cashless service and our staff do not accept cash as payments, only online. We only operate during term time and are closed during the school holidays. Our charity number is 1194811. ## OUR FINANCES The income for the after school club is £3924. This is purely from payments received from parents for the use of the after school club. From 3pm-4pm we charge £4.50. 3pm until 5pm costs £6.50 and 3pm until 5.30 costs £7 with 10% discount for siblings. We are able to offer care until 6pm but we have no current parents requiring care until that time. We have applied and been awarded a grant from Wrexham Child Care and Early Years and was awarded £1337.98. This was to purchase more equipment for our provision. We have Care Inspectorate Wales certification and our number is CYM00005957. Our outgoings are just staff wages which are £ 5326. We have no overheads for rent, electricity or water because we are based in the school building providing a service for the children that attend St Mary’s. Although we have noted a shortfall in our income, which doesn’t match our outgoings, we are now registered with the Care Inspectorate Wales so we can provide a wrap around service for our Nursery intake children, September 2024. We have also increased our prices to prevent future shortfalls. CHARITY TRUSTEES The trustees of St Mary’s Little Rainbows are appointed by the existing board of trustees.
