| Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
We are a community run Pre School, members of the Pre School Learning Alliance delivering the Early Years Foundation stage framework. We offer a warm safe and caring environment to help each child develop to their full potential. We hope to make children’s time with us happy, enjoyable and interesting. Our commitment to learning through play is paramount and provide children with as many experiences as possible. Play underpins all development and learning in young children. All staff are highly trained and very enthusiastic working with children. |
|---|---|
| Fund raising events have been restricted during the year due to the Covid-19 global pandemic to raise funds for the day to day running of the Pre School and any additional equipment. We had our educational inspection from OFSTED 25/10/18 with a “GOOD” outcome. We are registered for 33 children per session (21 x 3&4 year olds and 12 x 2 year olds) Numbers during this financial year dropped dramatically due to Covid-19. We remained open throughout even during lock down to key worker and vulnerable children. The pandemic has had a huge impact on our numbers and has therefore affected us financially too. Many families chose to keep their children at home where they were safe. |

We also support children with development delay, additional needs, learning difficulties and children with English as additional language working with many outside agencies.
We have separate provision for our 2 year olds. We have an area designed specifically for them called Bumblebee’s 12 x 2 year olds per session. 21 x 3 & 4 year olds called ladybirds per session. We have on-going maintenance of a very old building within an area of conservation - new roof on the kitchen and children's toilets and renew both ceilings We have had another very challenging year due to Covid-19 and it’s impact on our day to day running. We have fully adhered to “ systems of control” implemented by the DFE and the government. Small bubbles were introduced, numbers reduced drastically, robust cleaning, PPE and many new measures introduced. Covid-19 policies, risk assessments etc were all put into place.

Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
The objective is to retain £8,000 in reserves as a wage cushion.
Details of any funds materially in deficit
Further financial review details (Optional information)
We are currently working towards the revised Early years foundation stage (EYFS) curriculum. We aim to promote a well-balanced education within an emotionally and physically secure environment. We no longer have a waiting list and are still working within DFE and government guidelines. Our main source of income is 2 & 3 year old government funding. All 3 year olds are eligible. 2 year old funding is reasonably new and only for families who fit the criteria. Both 2 & 3 year old funding allows the child 15 hours free of charge. We do also have families who pay or pay for extra hours above their 15. There is also the new 15 hours extended entitlement for parents working above 16 hours for 3&4 year olds which has proved successful. Our government funding is now paid monthly instead of termly which is easier to budget.
