## **Chipping Norton Pre-School** ## **Trustees’ Report 2020** The Trustees’ of Chipping Norton Pre-School present their annual report and unaudited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020. ## **About Us** Chipping Norton Pre-School is a small friendly charity run Pre-School located within the grounds of Chipping Norton School. We have been established for over 30 years, providing a rich and varied environment supporting the children’s learning and development. We offer a bright spacious play area, quiet area, messy play area and a well-equipped outdoor area, playground and sensory garden. We offer sessions for 2-5 year olds from 8.30am to 3.00pm Monday to Friday, term time only, we ensure that we keep our session prices as low as possible to ensure that we can reach out to all families in the local community and surrounding areas including those on low income and also making them aware of the funding available to them. We work with the families to ensure children are settled and happy at Pre-School and are reaching their full potential and meeting with the EYFS guidelines, this is helped by matching up suitable key workers to each child who follow and record their progress accordingly, this together with detailed reports and information that are passed onto each child’s primary school teacher ensures a smooth and easy transition for both the child and the school/teachers when they start. We are OFSTED registered and maintain our Good rating awarded to us in March 2017. ## **Our Aims & Objectives** Our aims at Chipping Norton Pre-School are to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment for the children and an environment which will promote positive self-esteem and confidence. Encourage independent learning through play **and to e** nsure that each child is equally valued and to prepare the children for their primary school, by embracing the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). ## **Income** Our main source of income is from government funding, fee’s and fundraising/grants. ## **Fundraising** Unfortunately there was little/no opportunity for fundraising this year, we did however receive a grant of £250 from the Co-Op and a Grant from Chipping Norton Town Council of £850. ## **Expenditure** Our main expenditure is staff salaries and then energy, resources, consumables, maintenance and repairs. ## **Special Purchases & Improvements** Members of the committee worked very hard over the summer to improve the outside area. They removed the large earth mound and creating a new play area. We did this with the grant we received from the town council and as well as fundraising funds. We used some of the fundraising money to buy 2 new kindle fire’s for the children to use at Preschool. ## **Future Projects** Signed for an on Behalf of the Trustees’ of Chipping Norton Pre-School Samantha Nelson Treasurer 12[th] October 2020 CHIPPING NORTON PRE-SCHOOL RECEIPTS AND PAYMENfs ACCOUNT Y&4R ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 31 December 2020 Unrestricted Restricted Funds Funds 31 December 2019 Unrestricted Restricted Funds Funds Total Total Recelpts: Grants & Donations I,Ic#J 1,1 850 850 Fees Sundry Fundraising 63.6S9 36 652 72,302 72,302 36 652 4,094 Bank Interest 15 77,261 15 77,261 65.454 65,4S4 Payments: Salaries Telephone Electrtclty Repalrs & Malntènance Fo¢id & Sundry Items Postsge, Stationery & Advertlslng Materials & To Sundry Expenses Rent & Rates Insurance Professlonal Fees Trainlng 53,791 53,791 965 1.028 4.156 150 923 1.740 337 416 I.￿2 1.281 215 61,045 1,053 1,913 3,3 511 954 1,597 275 1,068 l.(KJ2 1,270 498 61,045 I.OS3 1.913 3,390 511 954 1.597 275 l.C68 I.¢X12 1.270 4g8 74,576 1.028 4,156 Iso 923 1,740 337 416 l.(K)2 1.281 215 E¥ce5s Paym•nts ¢)ver Receipts 12019- Excess Rec•lpts over Payrn*nts 15501 IS501 2,685 2.685 MOVEMENT OF FUNDS-YEAR ENDED 31 OECEMBER 2020 Balancesas at ljanuary 2020- HSBC- Current Account Fundralslng Accounl SavlnRs kcount 10,619 11,886 7,539 Cash Balancés as at 31 December 2020..
