BRAMBLEBROOK PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP 

A pre-school playgroup offering funded and non funded but affordable childcare for children in the local area. We operate from St John's Church Hall on Devonshire Drive, Mickleover.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • 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
