Section C Objectives and activities
| 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 are starting to resume following the Covid19 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 - & 4-year-olds and 12 x 2-year-olds) Numbers are good with the Summer term always being our busiest before eligible children transition to the local schools. We are finding huge increases in all purchases and especially our energy bills due to the high cost of fuel and heating a very large old building. We have also increased our staff salaries above living wage to maintain our staff team. This is having a huge impact on our expenditure. We are maintaining our day to day running effectively and are returning to where we were pre pandemic. |

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We have a disabled accessible toilet and have a specific area for children with additional/SEN needs as we are finding a larger percentage of children attending who go on to specialist school. Most children are achieving to age-appropriate levels working to the Early Years Outcomes with a few exceeding their goals. 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 – continual decorating and maintaining. We have had a new kitchen and raised floor to mitigate the flooding. We have had a big restructure of our resources both inside and out introducing more natural materials.
Covid was a very challenging time although we are now pulling back from it financially and with capacity.

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 now accessible 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 paid monthly and is our main source of income.
Our premises are very old and takes a lot of heating, maintaining and cleaning
