Laughter Land Company Limited by Guarantse Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Directorfs Report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Objectives and actNities The principal activity of the Company is to enhance the development and education of children aged 2 years and 10 months up to the age of 4years in Toomebridge and its environs without distinction of gender, disability, ethnic identity, nationality, religion or political affiliation by= providing the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children,. advancing the education and training of persons involved in the provision of such care., and encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of the needs of such children and their families in the area of benefit. The focus of our work The main focus of our work continued to be the provision of pre-school. Previously after school childcare had been an additional focus of the organisation but due to stafFing issues this facility was forced to close in December 2022 and has thus far not been re-established. How our activities deliver public benefit is to- 1. enable parents of pre-school children to access affordable, safe and secure childcare which provides high quality care and education and contributes to the development and well-being of children in the local community. The charitable company is registered and inspected by the Department of Education for Northern Ireland and are required to follow and implement the Curriculum Guidance for Pre-school Education. Early years inspectors last follow up inspection was October 2024 which was successful and all recommendations fully implemented. The Pre-school currently employs three full time staff members and they are supported in their role through our early years advisor, Mrs Ann Dixon, who is employed on behalf of the organisation as an Independent Early Years Advisor. Mrs Dixon visits us up to 5 times per year providing staff training, advice on the curriculum, networking and help with other playgroup matters.

Laughter Land Company Limited by Guarantse Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2025 Achievements and perforniance Numbers in 202412025 have remained steady, however due to low birth rates in the local area there is a predicted dip in child numbers anticipated for the school year 202512026. This is inevitably likely to have a financial impact on the pre-school for which the directors are taking measures to mitigate, such as the admission of pre pre-school children earlier in September 2025, and the inclusion of a pre-school and pre pre-school mixed class. This provides much needed economic support for the pre-school and provides an engaging and more varied learning perspective for our children with the sharing of education with a wider mix of age ranges. Our organisation was delighted to celebrate in the success as nominated finalists for the Local Women Magazine Education Awards in May 2025 in the Europa Hotel, Belfast. Out staff were nominated in the category of 'Best Early Years Team of the Yearf. Unfortunately, they were runners up in this category, however we are proud of our staff in being recognised in this way out of many organisations across Northern Ireland. This is a shining example of the excellent levels of care and education our staff provide to our local children. Financial review The surplus for the year was £9,186 (surplus 2024.. £3,062) which has increased (2024.. increased) the total fund balance carried fO￿ard is £26,894 (2024: £17,708). The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is detailed on page 7. Reserves policy The management committee has examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks of the organisation.

We are increasing our use of online sources of fundraising via social media and online payment options for both school fees and donations. It is noted that the organisation anticipates the pre-school will return to full capacity in the term 202612027. We also plan to welcome Ms Geraldine Spillane into her role as head of the Pre School, stepping into her new role in July 2025.
