THE VILLAGE COMMUNITY NURSERY LIMITED 

The charity's objects are to provide affordable quality daycare for children from 0-4 within Birmingham and surrounding areas. The Village Community Nursery is based on the grounds of St Peter's Urban Village Trust.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

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
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
