LITTLE EXPLORERS PRE-SCHOOL

We provide high quality childcare for the Colchester area. The Pre-School is based in the Greenstead Community centre. We are open 38 weeks per year.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is completely female

Financial issues to consider:

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