HARRIETSHAM PLAYGROUP ASSOCIATION

Our Pre-School is based in the village of Harrietsham, in Kent and offers a service to families from the village, and surrounding area. between the ages of 1 and 5 years old.In May 2018 we were graded 'Good with outstanding' by Ofsted.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 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

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 4 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
