HIGH LEGH PRE-SCHOOL NURSERY

To advance the education of children below compulsory school age.

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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

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

We've been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic and it's left us in a financially vulnerable position. Now the Government has announced nurseries can reopen on June 1, we require funding to ensure we can reopen in a way that keeps our children, staff and community safe. The grant funding will be used to pay for new equipment and resources that will enable us to apply new ways of working and reopen safely, establishing new Covid-safe practices. Our vision is to keep the children outdoors as much as possible and to keep them in smaller group sizes, so we need outdoors shelters, seating, learning equipment, hand washing stations and sufficient staff to make this possible. With pre-school closed, we're incredibly concerned about the effect on our children’s mental and emotional wellbeing – particularly those in receipt of the Early Years Pupil Premium for vulnerable children. For the sake of our children, it’s absolutely crucial that we can reopen and restore a little normality in their world.
