GOTHAM PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP 

Set in a small South Nottinghamshire village, Gotham Pre-School Playgroup provides a safe, stimulating and educational environment for pre-school children of all abilities and cultures. The playgroup is now based within the local primary school and accepts children from the age of 2 from the local and surrounding area. Children wishing to attend alternative local primary schools are also welcome.
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 predominantly 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
  • Income has been volatile recently
