Pre-School focusing on children achieving their early learning goal, with fund raising to enable the provision of resources.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received income from Government contracts
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
The Board composition appears to be rather static

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 5 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
This charity appears to be dormant
