Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Covid 19 has dominated our year as a preschool with the setting staying in small bubbles over the course of the year. We spent much of the academic year keeping on top of government guidelines and balancing this with meeting the needs of our children. Due to staying in bubbles we were not able to have as many children in the setting which had a significant effect to our income. As a preschool we have become far more proactive in forecasting our income and expenditure as we, like many others, battled with the financial stresses of the year. However, we believe we successfully managed to prepare the children we had for school and our younger children were able to start socialising which was vital after the numerous lockdowns. Our fundraising team worked tirelessly to come up with new ways of raising money and, at various points, were able to reintroduce some of our old favourites like our Village Yard Sale.
