AGM 30" January 2026 Chairperson Report
21% January 2025 saw nine wonderful committee members get voted on at our AGM, and the committee year began.
12" February saw our first coffee morning of 2025, allowing parents/carers and committee members an opportunity to make connections whilst also enjoying some tasty treats.
7" March brought the nursery’s traditional pancake races, where all children raced and mummies, daddies, grandparents and siblings also got involved, the event had excellent family support and a fun and relaxed morning was had by all. The children had also enjoyed Mrs Ward's traditional pancake cooking over this week. A much-enjoyed experience for both the children and the staff!
12 March saw the committee hold a preloved book sale celebrating World Book Day, raising £53.50 that went towards the purchase of new books for the children to enjoy.
Thanks to a kind donation from one of our parents, we raised £22 from a daffodil sale in March.
Our summer term began on 23" April. Our increase to fees came into effect to help the charity manage the financial impact of the national living wage rise and the increase to employers National Insurance contributions.
Both the group and individual photographs on 22" May and our Christmas photo shoot 7% November produced some lovely shots of the children and raised £156 in commission for nursery.
Our summer term service quality questionnaire results were excellent, with many lovely words of support and gratitude.
The 6" June was a very exciting day for the children and staff as we had arranged a visit from Safari Stu’s Exotic Animals. It was a wonderful, hands on and unforgettable experience. Many photographs were taken of the children holding/touching the various animals.
The 11 June saw the completion of the new perimeter fence and gate at the nursery allotment, revitalising the space again in time for the lovely sunny weather.
The 25" June was our sponsored Teddy Bear Walk and Picnic, thank you to the committee and staff for all their hard work in setting out and running this event. It was such a lovely day, the children really enjoyed all the obstacles and picnic and we raised an amazing £1,388 (plus £305.63 in gift aid), so thank you again to all who took part, helped out and raised such a wonderful amount.

The leavers sports day and presentation, was held on 11" July. It was lovely to see so many parents getting involved and the children clearly enjoyed watching their mummies and daddies and other family members racing. Excellent role models for the children.
And so, to the last event of the nursery calendar, the leavers country dancing on the 18th July. This was a very emotional day for all involved and the perfect way for the older children to close one chapter of their lives ready to begin the next.
Our autumn term began on 8" September. We welcomed many new children and their families and all our returning children settled back in with enthusiasm.
9" October brought the start of our Harvest Food Collection. The generosity of our parents/carers meant Milton Keynes Food Bank received a large food donation, thank you to all for their kindness. Mrs Ward was busy making yummy apple crumbles with the children and their key persons, again a much-enjoyed experience for the children, parents and staff!
The children enjoyed having a special Christmas themed photograph taken on 7" November. We saw some lovely Christmas outfits worn by the children for their special photographs. On 15" November we all helped to raise £117 for BBC Children in Need whilst enjoying a fun non-uniform day wearing colourful/spotty outfits.
We raised £102.50 for nursery holding a preloved uniform sale on 24° November, thank you for the committee members time to sort and prepare and hold the sale.
Thanks to Janet’s kind donation, we raised £18 from the sale of her hand-knitted snowmen prior to Christmas.
The nativity concert performances took place on 5" and 6" December. Both shows were a great success and the hard work of Mrs Ward and all the staff to make the concerts possible is much appreciated. A massive thank you to Allie and her husband for filming, editing and undertaking the production of the DVDs and downloads.
The autumn term ended with a visit from Mr Marvel’s Magical Fun Show on 18" December for all the children to enjoy.
6‘ January 2026 saw the start of our spring term. Our coffee morning on 21% January went very well. Thank you to the committee for their support with holding these mornings and a particular thank you to Janet for baking some very tasty treats.
I'd like to thank all the Little Oaks nursery staff for all their continued hard work, never ending enthusiasm and the support and guidance they have given the children.
It has been a pleasure to stand as Chairperson and a big thank you to each committee member for their time and support of Little Oaks over this last committee year.
