PILTON PRE-SCHOOL

The playgroup is registered to care for children age 2 - 5 years. We aim to create a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere where children will feel happy and secure. We help children to play and learn together and develop a sensitivity to others. We aim to develop in children a love of learning and desire to continue their knowledge and skills as they move on to full time education.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from several prominent grant makers recently
  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
