KINGFISHER PRE-SCHOOL (KINGSAND) 

The activities we offer are planned according to the Early Years Foundation Stage guidance and are based around child centred learning. The children explore nature in our garden and the local beaches, parks and forests and grow plants, fruit and vegetables. We have a trained forest school leader who is also a qualified teacher and are proud to nurture happy, confident, independent children.
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 and there are significant future grants due to be received
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • 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
  • Income was lower than spending in the latest year
