HARLOW HILLTOP PRE-SCHOOL LIMITED

Providing high quality, affordable and accessible day care for parents in the local community in an environment where children are safe and secure with a variety of activities to stimulate play and learning.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
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

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Why are there only 3 trustees?
The Board has little diversity in terms of age
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

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