COURTNEY LADYBIRDS PRE-SCHOOL 

We are a pre-school who work in the Kingswood area of Bristol. The pre-school have just been given "GOOD" by ofsted, which is fantastic.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • 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
  • Latest accounts are overdue for filing and returns have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years
  • This charity appears to be dormant
