We offer Early Years education to the children and families of Yate, Chipping Sodbury and the surrounding area. At Ridgewood Preschool our vision is to provide the highest quality care, whilst creating a nurturing and supportive community of children, parents, carers and highly skilled staff.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been reasonable growth in spending over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • 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:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
