| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 |
The purposes of the charity, as set out in its governing document, are to advance the education and development of children under statutory school age by providing a safe, inclusive and stimulating preschool environment. The charity seeks to promote high-quality early years education through play-based learning in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supporting children’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. The charity exists to benefit the local community by making early education accessible to all families, regardless of background, need or circumstance. Central to the charity’s purpose is the creation of a warm, family-centred environment in which staff, children and parents feel valued, respected and supported. The preschool places strong emphasis on positive relationships, with staff working collaboratively and treating one another and families as part of a wider preschool community. The charity also aims to strengthen community connections by engaging parents as active partners in their children’s learning and encouraging involvement through the volunteer trustee committee. The committee plays an integral role in the governance and sustainability of the charity, and the preschool seeks to involve as many parents as possible in shaping and supporting its work. In furtherance of its charitable aims, the preschool works closely with local organisations, including the church and community groups, to support families who may require additional help. The charity also collaborates with external professionals such as speech and language therapists, health visitors and SEND specialists to ensure that children with additional needs receive appropriate support. These partnerships enable the preschool to fulfil its purpose of promoting the wellbeing, development and inclusion of every child within a supportive and community-focused environment. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
During the year, the charity continued to provide high-quality early years education and care for children aged two to four, in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The preschool delivered a broad and stimulating curriculum designed to support children’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. Activities included art and craft, music and movement sessions in the nearby school hall, outdoor play, cooking, water and messy play, gardening, information technology, role-play, phonics, early mathematics, story time, singing, mark-making, treasure hunts and themed learning experiences. Children also benefited from opportunities to care for living things, including looking after the preschool tortoise and observing tadpoles, helping them develop empathy, responsibility and an understanding of the natural world. The preschool further enriched children’s learning through special themed |
| the accounts. | weeks, including ‘People Who Help Us’, during which parents and carers working in community roles such as firefighters, nurses, midwives, police officers and other public-service professions visited the setting. These sessions helped children learn about the wider world, understand community roles and recognise the people who help keep them safe. To support its charitable purpose of benefiting the local community, the preschool welcomed families from all backgrounds and provided additional support to those who needed it. Staff worked closely with parents and carers, offering guidance, signposting and an open-door approach to communication. The preschool collaborated with local organisations, including the church, to ensure families experiencing challenges could access appropriate help. Staff also worked in partnership with external professionals such as speech and language therapists, health visitors and SEND specialists to support children with additional needs and ensure early intervention. The charity strengthened community engagement through participation in major local events, including the Yateley Lion May Fayre, the Christmas Stall Fayre and other community celebrations. These events, alongside the preschool’s own fundraising activities such as quiz nights, the annual summer fete, raffles, cake sales and participation in the Twilight Run at Blackbushe Airport, fostered community cohesion and generated essential income to support the preschool’s charitable work and enhance the learning environment. The preschool provided funded early education places for eligible two-year-olds and for all three- and four-year-olds, including extended (30 hours) funding for working families. Additional hours were offered on a fee-paying basis. Flexible drop-off and collection times supported working parents, and prospective families were welcomed for visits throughout the year. Staff maintained high standards of professional practice through ongoing training in safeguarding, first aid, health and safety, FGM awareness and SEND, as well as participation in local early years networks and transition meetings with schools. Parents were encouraged to engage with their child’s learning through stay-and-play sessions, weekly communications and opportunities to join the volunteer trustee committee, which plays a vital role in the governance and sustainability of the charity. Through these activities, the charity demonstrably fulfilled its purpose of advancing early years education and supporting the wellbeing and development of children and families within the local community, thereby delivering clear public benefit. |

| Policy on grant making |
Para 1.38 |
The charity does not operate a formal grant-making programme. However, in line with its charitable purposes, the trustees may approve the use of restricted or designated funds to provide limited support to families in need, where such support directly furthers the charity’s aim of advancing the education and wellbeing of children. Any such assistance is provided in partnership with local organisations, including the church and community support services, and is subject to trustee oversight to ensure fairness, transparency and compliance |
| with the governing document. Any grant funds given to families remains under the authority of the committee and matters are strictly confidential. |
||
|---|---|---|
| Policy on social investment including program related investment |
Para 1.38 |
The charity does not engage in social investment or programme-related investment. All funds received by the charity are applied directly to furthering its charitable purposes, namely the provision of early years education and support for children and families within the local community. The trustees review all expenditure to ensure it aligns with the charity’s objectives and does not constitute investment activity. |
| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 |
The charity benefits significantly from the contribution of volunteers, who play an essential role in supporting its governance, activities and community engagement. The volunteer trustee committee is central to the effective running of the preschool, providing strategic oversight, financial management, fundraising support and operational guidance. Their commitment ensures that the preschool continues to operate as a sustainable, community-led charity. In addition to the trustees, many parents and carers volunteer their time throughout the year to assist with fundraising events, community activities and preschool projects. Volunteers supported events such as the Yateley Lion May Fayre, the Christmas Stall Fayre, the annual summer fete, quiz nights, raffles, cake sales and participation in the Twilight Run at Blackbushe Airport. These contributions are vital in raising funds that enhance the learning environment and help cover core costs. Parents also contribute to the children’s learning experiences by taking part in themed activities such as ‘People Who Help Us’, where those working in community roles—including firefighters, nurses, midwives, police officers and other public-service professionals—visit the preschool to share their expertise. These volunteer contributions enrich the curriculum and strengthen the preschool’s connection with the wider community. The trustees wish to record their sincere thanks to all volunteers for their time, enthusiasm and commitment. Their support is invaluable and makes a significant difference to the quality of provision and the continued success of the charity. |
| Other | The trustees wish to highlight the strong sense of community that underpins the preschool’s work. Yateley Community Preschool continues to operate as a warm, family-centred setting where staff, parents, carers and children support one another and contribute to a positive, nurturing environment. The trustees recognise the dedication of the staff team, whose commitment, teamwork and care are central to the success of the charity. The preschool also values its close relationships with local organisations, including the church and community groups, which help ensure that families experiencing difficulties can access additional support. These partnerships strengthen the charity’s ability to meet the needs of the community and uphold its inclusive ethos. The trustees further acknowledge the significant contribution made by the volunteer committee and parent helpers throughout the year. Their involvement in governance, fundraising, community events and enrichment activities enhances the preschool’s provision and supports its long-term sustainability. The charity remains committed to continuous improvement, community engagement and the delivery of high-quality early years education for the benefit of children and families in Yateley and the surrounding area. |
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 |
During the year, the charity continued to deliver high-quality early years education and care, creating a warm, nurturing and community-centred environment in which children aged two to four could learn, grow and thrive. Both staff and trustees emphasised the strength of the preschool’s “family feel”, with the manager noting that the team “carry each other and support each other and love each other,” creating a setting where children experience adults modelling empathy, teamwork and joy. The preschool achieved significant improvements to its learning environment and curriculum. Staff reviewed curriculum goals throughout the year and introduced new initiatives such as weekly yoga sessions and a new dome climbing frame to support gross motor development. A new sensory area was created following investment in interactive resources, bubble lamps and light boxes, providing valuable sensory experiences for children with a range of needs. Children benefited from a rich and varied curriculum, including outdoor play, messy play, cooking, gardening, role-play, phonics, early mathematics, storytelling and themed learning. Opportunities to care for living things—such as the preschool tortoise and observing tadpoles—helped children develop empathy, responsibility and curiosity about the natural world. The charity also strengthened children’s understanding of the wider community through special events such as ‘People Who Help Us’, where parents working in public-service roles (including firefighters, nurses, midwives and police officers) visited the preschool to share their expertise. These experiences broadened children’s knowledge of the world and highlighted the importance of community helpers. Fundraising remained a major achievement and a vital source of income. The Chair highlighted that fundraising “creates possibilities” by enabling investment in resources, staff development and enriched learning experiences. The preschool community took part in a wide range of events, including the Twilight Run—where staff dressed as superheroes on one of the hottest days of the year—and the April’s Afar walking challenge, during which staff and parents collectively walked over 1,200 miles. The charity also played an active role in major local events such as the Yateley Lion May Fayre, the Christmas Stall Fayre and the annual summer fete. These events strengthened community cohesion, allowed past families to reconnect with the preschool and generated essential funds to support the charity’s sustainability. Significant improvements were made to the physical environment. The preschool refreshed and reorganised its indoor space over the summer, painting walls, moving furniture and enhancing learning areas. A successful Tesco Blue Token award provided £1,000 towards a new roof for the outdoor woodworking and construction area, improving accessibility in all weathers. The charity also navigated challenges, including inflation and rising costs. The Chair noted that the committee approved an increase in staff wages to recognise the dedication of the team and support their wellbeing during financially difficult times. This decision reinforced the charity’s commitment to fairness, stability and valuing its workforce. Staff changes were managed sensitively, with long-standing team members moving on after many years of service and new staff joining with “fresh eyes, new enthusiasm and lots of ideas.” Despite these transitions, the preschool maintained continuity, stability and a strong sense of community. The charity’s achievements extended beyond the children to the wider community. Volunteers—particularly the parent-led committee—played a crucial role in governance, fundraising and supporting events. The Chair emphasised the “power and joy of volunteering,” highlighting how it builds friendships, strengthens community ties and enriches the preschool environment. Through these achievements, the charity made a demonstrable difference to its beneficiaries by promoting children’s confidence, communication, independence, wellbeing and readiness for school. The preschool’s |

community-centred ethos, strong partnerships with families and commitment to continuous improvement contributed to wider social benefit, strengthening community connections and supporting families during a challenging economic period.

| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 |
1. Maintain and enhance the quality of early years education The preschool successfully delivered a rich, stimulating curriculum aligned with the EYFS. Staff reviewed curriculum goals throughout the year and introduced new initiatives, including weekly yoga sessions and a new dome climbing frame to support gross motor development. A new sensory area was created with interactive resources, bubble lamps and light boxes, significantly enhancing provision for children with sensory needs. These improvements supported children’s confidence, communication, independence and readiness for school. 2. Strengthen the preschool’s community-centred ethos The charity continued to foster a strong sense of belonging and partnership with families. The manager described the preschool as a “preschool family,” where staff “carry each other and support each other and love each other,” modelling positive relationships for children. Parents were actively involved in events, volunteering and themed activities such as ‘People Who Help Us’, where those working in public-service roles visited to share their expertise. This strengthened children’s understanding of the world and deepened community connections. 3. Improve and refresh the learning environment Significant improvements were made to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Over the summer, staff reorganised and refreshed the room, painting walls, updating furniture and enhancing learning areas. A successful Tesco Blue Token award provided £1,000 towards a new roof for the outdoor woodworking and construction area, improving accessibility in all weathers. These changes created a more engaging, inclusive and stimulating environment for all children. 4. Support staff wellbeing, development and stability Despite staff changes, the charity maintained a stable, committed team. New staff brought “fresh eyes, new enthusiasm and lots of ideas,” while long-standing members continued to provide continuity and experience. The committee approved a staff wage increase in response to inflation, recognising the dedication and professionalism of the team. This decision supported morale, retention and the overall quality of provision. 5. Strengthen financial sustainability through fundraising and community events Fundraising remained essential to the charity’s sustainability. The preschool community took part in the Twilight Run, April’s Afar walking challenge (collectively walking over 1,200 miles), the Yateley Lion May Fayre, the Christmas Stall Fayre, the summer fete and other events. These activities raised vital funds for resources, equipment and improvements, while also strengthening community cohesion and reconnecting with past families. 6. Support families and ensure inclusive access to early education The preschool maintained an open-door approach, offering guidance, signposting and emotional support to families. Staff worked closely with external professionals—including speech and language therapists, health visitors and SEND specialists—to ensure early identification and support for children with additional needs. This holistic approach improved outcomes for children and strengthened the wellbeing of families. Through these achievements, the charity met or exceeded its objectives for the year, delivering clear and demonstrable benefits to children, families and the wider community. |

learning environment. Fundraising remained a vital component of the charity’s financial strategy, as the preschool receives no additional income beyond government funding and fees. The preschool community demonstrated exceptional commitment through participation in major fundraising challenges. Staff and parents took part in the April’s Afar walking challenge, collectively exceeding the target of 1,200 miles and raising significant funds to support resources and improvements. Staff also completed the Twilight Run dressed as superheroes, despite extreme heat, demonstrating the dedication and enthusiasm that underpin the charity’s fundraising success. The charity also delivered strong performance at key community events, including the Yateley Lion May Fayre, the Christmas Stall Fayre and the annual summer fete. These events not only raised vital funds but also strengthened community cohesion and provided opportunities to reconnect with past families. The May Fayre, in particular, continued to be a major contributor to the charity’s fundraising income despite the long hours and bank holiday timing. Additional fundraising activities—including raffles, cake sales, quiz nights and themed events—further contributed to the charity’s income. The preschool also benefited from external schemes such as the Tesco Blue Token programme, securing £1,000 to improve the outdoor woodworking and construction area. Overall, the charity met and, in several areas, exceeded its fundraising objectives. The funds raised enabled the preschool to invest in new equipment, enhance the learning environment, support staff development and maintain high-quality provision despite rising costs and inflationary pressures. The trustees recognise the invaluable contribution of volunteers, parents and staff, whose commitment and generosity made these achievements possible. |

| Investment performance against objectives |
Para 1.41 |
The charity does not currently hold any investment assets and therefore has no investment performance to report for the year. All reserves are held in standard bank accounts to ensure capital security and immediate access to funds. However, in response to rising costs and the need to strengthen long-term financial stability, the trustees have agreed to explore the potential for low-risk charitable investments during the coming year. This exploratory work will focus on options that are appropriate for small charities, align with the charity’s risk appetite, and comply fully with Charity Commission guidance on investing charitable funds. Any future investment decisions will only be made where they clearly support the charity’s objectives, protect the charity’s assets, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the preschool. The trustees will continue to review the charity’s financial position regularly to ensure that all funds are managed responsibly and in the best interests of beneficiaries. |
| Other | The trustees wish to acknowledge the exceptional dedication of the staff team, whose commitment, stability and enthusiasm continue to be central to the success of the preschool. The strong relationships within the team create a nurturing, positive environment that directly benefits the children and contributes to the charity’s reputation as a warm, community-centred setting. The trustees also recognise the invaluable contribution of volunteers, including the parent-led committee and the many families who support events, fundraising activities and enrichment opportunities throughout the year. Their involvement strengthens the charity’s governance, enhances the children’s experiences and reinforces the preschool’s role at the heart of the local community. The preschool continues to maintain strong partnerships with local organisations, including the church and community groups, enabling families to access additional support when needed. These relationships help ensure that the charity can respond effectively to the needs of the community and |
uphold its inclusive ethos. Looking ahead, the trustees intend to explore opportunities to strengthen the charity’s long-term financial resilience, including reviewing the potential for low-risk charitable investments. This work will be undertaken carefully and in line with Charity Commission guidance, with the aim of supporting the sustainability of the preschool for future generations. The trustees remain committed to continuous improvement, community engagement and the delivery of high-quality early years education for the benefit of children and families in Yateley and the surrounding area.
Financial Review
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 |
At the end of the financial period, the charity reported a deficit. This outcome reflects the ongoing financial pressures faced by early years settings, including rising costs, inflation, and the increasing gap between government funding rates and the true cost of delivering high-quality provision. Despite careful budgeting and strong community support, core income from funding and fees was not sufficient to fully cover operational costs. During the year, the trustees approved several essential investments to maintain the quality and safety of the learning environment. This included the purchase of new tables and chairs for the children—an overdue and necessary investment to replace ageing equipment and ensure that the preschool continues to meet educational and safety standards. These improvements were made in the best interests of the children and directly support the charity’s aims. The trustees also approved an increase in staff wages in response to the rising cost of living and to recognise the dedication and professionalism of the team. While this decision increased expenditure, it was considered essential for staff wellbeing, retention and the continued delivery of high-quality early years education. Fundraising continued to play a vital role in supporting the preschool, with events such as the April’s Afar challenge, the Twilight Run, the Yateley Lion May Fayre and the Christmas Stall Fayre generating valuable additional income. However, despite strong community engagement, fundraising alone could not fully offset the increased costs faced during the year. The trustees remain committed to strengthening the charity’s financial resilience. In the coming year, they intend to review the reserves strategy and explore the potential for low-risk charitable investments, in line with Charity Commission guidance, to help stabilise long-term finances. The trustees will continue to monitor the financial position closely and ensure that all decisions support the sustainability of the preschool and the wellbeing of its beneficiaries. |
|---|---|---|
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 |
The charity aims to hold reserves at a level that ensures financial stability, supports cash flow throughout the year and provides a safeguard against unexpected costs or fluctuations in income. The trustees consider it essential to maintain reserves that allow the preschool to continue operating safely and effectively in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as staffing changes, emergency repairs or delays in funding payments. Reserves are also held to ensure that the charity can meet its legal and financial obligations, including staff wages, rent and essential running costs, even during periods of reduced income. The trustees review the reserves level regularly to ensure it remains appropriate for the size and needs of the preschool. Given the financial pressures experienced during the year and the deficit reported at year-end, the trustees intend to review the reserves policy in the coming period. This will include exploring the potential for low-risk charitable |
| investments to support long-term financial resilience, while ensuring that any investment decisions remain fully aligned with the charity’s objectives and risk appetite. The trustees remain committed to maintaining reserves at a level that protects the charity’s operations, supports high-quality provision and ensures the long-term sustainability of the preschool. |
||
|---|---|---|
| Amount of reserves held |
Para 1.22 |
At the end of the financial period, the charity held reserves at a level considered appropriate to support cash flow, meet unexpected costs and safeguard the continuity of the preschool’s operations. The trustees review the reserves regularly to ensure they remain sufficient to manage fluctuations in income, emergency expenditure and the financial risks associated with running a small early years charity. |
| Reasons for holding zero reserves |
Para 1.22 |
At the end of the financial period, the charity held a modest level of reserves. These reserves are maintained to support cash flow throughout the year, meet unexpected costs and ensure the continuity of the preschool’s operations. The trustees consider it essential to hold reserves that allow the charity to manage fluctuations in income, emergency expenditure and the financial risks associated with running a small early years setting. Although the charity ended the year with a deficit, the remaining reserves provide a necessary financial buffer while the trustees work to rebuild and strengthen the charity’s financial position in the coming year. |
| Details of fund materially in deficit |
Para 1.24 |
At the end of the financial period, the charity’s unrestricted general fund was in deficit. This position reflects the significant financial pressures faced by early years settings, including rising operational costs, inflation, and the widening gap between government funding rates and the actual cost of delivering high-quality provision. The deficit also reflects essential investment made during the year to maintain the quality and safety of the learning environment, including the purchase of new tables and chairs for the children. This was a long-overdue and necessary expenditure to replace ageing equipment and ensure the preschool continued to meet educational and safety standards. The trustees are satisfied that the deficit does not indicate a long-term financial risk but rather a short-term impact of essential spending combined with increased staffing costs and rising prices. The trustees have already taken steps to strengthen financial planning for the coming year, including reviewing the reserves policy, monitoring expenditure closely, and exploring opportunities to rebuild reserves through fundraising and potential low-risk charitable investments. The trustees are confident that the deficit will be addressed in the next financial period and that the charity remains able to meet its obligations and continue delivering high-quality early years education. |
| Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern |
Para 1.23 |
The trustees recognise that there are uncertainties that may affect the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The preschool is experiencing lower projected headcounts due to demographic fluctuations in the local area, including a reduced number of children born in recent years. This presents a financial risk, as lower enrolment directly impacts income from government funding and fees. In addition, the charity faces rising staffing costs. The trustees have implemented the statutory minimum wage increases and anticipate the need to review staff pay again in September to ensure fairness, retention and compliance with sector expectations. These increased costs place further pressure on the charity’s financial position. To mitigate these uncertainties, the trustees have introduced a more flexible session structure that enables families to maximise their government-funded entitlements. This includes offering additional bookable sessions that allow parents to use their full entitlement while providing the preschool with greater financial stability and more predictable income. This approach supports families during a period of rising living costs while helping the charity manage |
fluctuating headcounts. The trustees are monitoring the financial position closely and reviewing budgets, staffing models and reserves to ensure the charity remains sustainable. While uncertainties remain, the trustees believe that the actions taken — combined with strong community support, committed staff and ongoing fundraising — provide a reasonable basis for the charity to continue operating for the foreseeable future.

| The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) |
Para 1.47 |
The charity’s principal sources of income are government early years funding and parent fees. These form the core of the charity’s revenue; however, they do not fully cover the true cost of delivering high-quality early years provision, particularly in the context of rising operational costs and increased staffing expenses. Fundraising therefore remains an essential source of additional income. The preschool benefits from a strong and supportive community, with events such as the April’s Afar challenge, the Twilight Run, the Yateley Lion May Fayre, the Christmas Stall Fayre and the summer fete contributing significantly to the charity’s financial stability. These activities help fund essential resources, improvements to the learning environment and enrichment opportunities for the children. The charity also receives smaller but valuable contributions through external schemes such as the Tesco Blue Token programme and other community-based initiatives. These funds support specific projects and help enhance the preschool’s facilities. In response to lower projected headcounts caused by demographic fluctuations, the trustees have introduced a more flexible session structure that enables families to maximise their government-funded entitlements. This approach supports parents during a period of rising living costs while providing the preschool with more predictable income and improved financial stability. Together, these income streams enable the charity to continue delivering high-quality early years education, despite the financial pressures affecting the sector. |
| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 |
The charity does not currently hold any investment assets and therefore does not operate an active investment portfolio. All funds are held in standard bank accounts to ensure capital security and immediate access to cash for operational needs. The trustees recognise the importance of strengthening the charity’s long-term financial resilience, particularly in light of rising operational costs, fluctuating headcounts and increasing staffing expenses. As part of this, the trustees intend to explore the potential for low-risk charitable investments during the coming year. Any such exploration will be undertaken cautiously and in full accordance with Charity Commission guidance on investing charitable funds. The primary objective of any future investment strategy will be to protect the charity’s assets, support financial stability and ensure that funds continue to be used to further the preschool’s charitable purposes. The trustees will only consider investment options that are low-risk, ethical, and aligned with the charity’s values as a community-focused early years setting. At present, the charity has not adopted a formal social investment policy. However, should the trustees proceed with any investment activity, they will ensure that decisions are guided by the charity’s aims, risk appetite and duty to act in the best interests of beneficiaries. |
| A description of the principal risks facing the |
Para 1.46 |
The trustees have identified several principal risks that may affect the charity’s ability to operate sustainably in the coming period. The most significant risk relates to fluctuating and lower projected headcounts, driven by demographic changes and reduced numbers of children born in recent years. As government funding and fee income are directly linked to |
| charity | attendance, lower enrolment presents a material financial risk. The charity also faces rising staffing costs. Statutory wage increases have already been implemented, and the trustees anticipate the need to review staff pay again in September to ensure fairness, retention and compliance with sector expectations. These increased costs place additional pressure on the charity’s financial position, particularly in a climate where funding rates do not reflect the true cost of delivering high-quality early years provision. Inflation and rising prices for essential resources, utilities and consumables continue to impact expenditure. Although fundraising provides valuable supplementary income, it cannot fully offset these sector-wide financial pressures. To mitigate these risks, the trustees have introduced a more flexible session structure that enables families to maximise their government-funded entitlements. This approach supports parents during a period of rising living costs while providing the preschool with more predictable income and improved financial stability. The trustees are also strengthening budget monitoring, reviewing the reserves policy and exploring opportunities to rebuild reserves and consider low-risk charitable investments in the future. The trustees will continue to monitor these risks closely and take appropriate action to ensure the long-term sustainability of the preschool and the continued delivery of high-quality early years education. An additional operational and financial risk has arisen in relation to the outdoor roof structure. Although the charity previously secured a grant through the Tesco Community Tokens scheme to fund a new roof installation, the project encountered significant installation issues which have resulted in defects now requiring repair. These remedial works are necessary to ensure the area remains safe and usable for the children, but they represent an unplanned cost that places further pressure on the charity’s already stretched finances. The trustees are currently exploring whether any elements of the repair may be covered by insurance, in order to mitigate the financial impact on the preschool. |

Structure, Governance and Management
| Description of charity’s trusts: |
Yateley Community Preschool is a registered charity governed by a constitution adopted in accordance with Charity Commission requirements. The charity operates as a community-based early years setting and is managed by a voluntary committee of trustees, the majority of whom are parents or carers of children attending the preschool. The trustees are responsible for the overall governance, strategic direction and financial oversight of the charity. They work closely with the Preschool Manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day running of the setting, staff management, curriculum delivery and operational decision-making. This structure ensures a clear separation between governance and management while maintaining strong communication and accountability. New trustees are appointed in accordance with the charity’s constitution, typically at the Annual General Meeting. All trustees receive an induction to ensure they understand their legal responsibilities, the preschool’s policies and procedures, and the expectations of their role. Ongoing support is provided throughout the year to ensure trustees can fulfil their duties effectively. The charity’s activities are delivered in line with its charitable objects, which focus on providing high-quality early years education and supporting the wellbeing and development of children and families within the local community. The trustees ensure that all decisions are made in the best interests of the beneficiaries and that the charity complies with relevant legislation, including the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and Charity Commission guidance. |

management. The constitution allows for additional trustees to be co-opted during the year if vacancies arise, provided they meet the eligibility criteria and are approved by the existing committee. No external organisation or individual holds the right to appoint trustees. All newly appointed trustees receive an induction to ensure they understand their legal responsibilities, the charity’s policies and procedures, and the expectations of their role. |

| Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees |
Para 1.51 |
The charity has procedures in place to ensure that all trustees are properly inducted and assessed for suitability before taking up their roles. As part of the induction process, all trustees are required to complete an enhanced DBS check and submit an EY2 form to Ofsted for approval. Trustees cannot take part in decision-making until these suitability checks have been completed and confirmed. New trustees are given an overview of the preschool’s operations, safeguarding responsibilities, staffing structure and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) requirements through an introductory meeting with the Chair and the Preschool Manager. Trustees are also briefed on their duties under charity law, including financial oversight, governance responsibilities and the need to act in the best interests of beneficiaries. Ongoing support is provided throughout the year through regular committee meetings and access to relevant guidance from the Charity Commission and local early years networks. Trustees are encouraged to ask questions and seek clarification whenever needed to ensure they can fulfil their roles effectively. These procedures ensure that trustees, many of whom are volunteers with no prior governance experience, receive the essential safeguarding checks, regulatory approval and practical support required to carry out their responsibilities. |
| The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works |
Para 1.51 |
The charity is managed by a voluntary committee of trustees who are responsible for the overall governance, strategic direction and financial oversight of the preschool. The trustees delegate the day-to-day running of the setting to the Preschool Manager, who oversees staff management, curriculum delivery, safeguarding, operational decisions and compliance with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This structure ensures a clear separation between governance and management while maintaining strong communication and accountability. The Preschool Manager is supported by a team of qualified early years practitioners who deliver the daily educational provision and ensure the wellbeing, safety and development of the children. Staff report to the Manager, who in turn reports to the trustee committee through regular meetings and updates. The charity operates independently and is not part of a national chain or umbrella organisation. However, it maintains strong working relationships with local community groups, including the church, local schools, early years networks and family support services. These partnerships help the preschool signpost families to additional support when needed and ensure that the charity remains well-connected within the local community. The trustees also engage with external bodies such as Ofsted, the local authority early years team and relevant safeguarding agencies to ensure the preschool meets all regulatory requirements and maintains high standards of practice. |
| Relationship with any related parties |
Para 1.51 |
Ofsted The preschool is registered with Ofsted and operates in full compliance with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework. Ofsted is responsible for inspecting the provision and assessing the quality of education, safeguarding and leadership. The charity has no financial or governance relationship with Ofsted beyond its regulatory obligations. Early Years Alliance The charity engages with the Early Years Alliance for sector guidance, training opportunities and updates on national early years policy. This relationship is advisory only. The Alliance does not hold any authority over the charity’s governance, finances or decision-making. Local School- Cranford Park CofE The preschool maintains positive working relationships with local schools to support children’s transitions and share relevant information that benefits families. These relationships are collaborative and informal. Local schools or school boards do not have any role in appointing trustees, managing the charity or influencing its governance. Local Authority Early Years Team The charity works with the local authority for funding administration, safeguarding guidance and early years support services. This relationship ensures compliance with funding rules and access to professional advice, but the local authority has no governance control over the charity. |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Other | Summary These relationships support the charity’s ability to deliver high-quality early years provision, but none of the organisations listed are related parties in a financial or governance sense. The charity remains fully independent and governed solely by its elected trustee committee. |

Funds held as custodian trustees on behalf of others
| Description of the assets held in this capacity |
The charity holds assets solely for the purpose of delivering early years education and supporting the children and families who use the preschool. These assets include educational resources, furniture, play equipment, IT equipment, and other materials required for the day-to-day operation of the setting. The charity also holds cash assets in its bank accounts, which consist of operational funds, reserves and income from fundraising activities. These funds are used to support staffing costs, maintain the learning environment, purchase resources and ensure the continued delivery of high-quality early years provision. All assets are owned by the charity as an unincorporated association and are managed by the trustee committee on behalf of the beneficiaries. No assets are held for the personal benefit of trustees, staff or members. |
|---|---|
| Name and objects of the charity on whose behalf the assets are held and how this falls within the custodian charity’s objects |
All assets are held on behalf of Yateley Community Preschool, the charity for which the trustee committee acts. The charity’s objects, as set out in its governing document, are to provide high-quality early years education and to advance the development and wellbeing of children in the local community through play-based learning opportunities. The assets held by the trustees — including educational resources, equipment, furnishings and financial reserves — are used solely to further these charitable objects. All expenditure and resource use directly support the delivery of early years provision, the maintenance of a safe and stimulating learning environment, and the effective operation of the preschool. No assets are held on behalf of any external organisation, and no individual trustee, staff member or related party has any beneficial interest in the charity’s property. All assets are managed strictly in accordance with the charity’s constitution and in the best interests of its beneficiaries. |
| Details of arrangements for safe custody and segregation of such assets from the charity’s own assets |
All assets held on behalf of Yateley Community Preschool are kept securely and are clearly segregated from the personal property or finances of trustees, staff or volunteers. Physical assets such as educational resources, equipment and furnishings are stored on the preschool premises, which are locked and alarmed when not in use. Access is restricted to authorised staff and trustees. Financial assets are held in the charity’s designated bank accounts, which are operated in accordance with the governing document and require appropriate authorisation for payments. No trustee or staff member holds charity funds in a personal account, and all income and expenditure are recorded through the preschool’s accounting system to ensure transparency and accountability. The trustees maintain oversight of asset management through regular financial reporting, inventory checks and annual review of equipment and resources. These arrangements ensure that all assets are safeguarded, properly recorded and used solely for the charity’s purposes. |
