Afternoons are busler now as morg children do full days as this fits around parents jobs etc. Unfortunately with the Increased rise In National Living Wage, Nl ets, together with increased utility costs, this does mean that our running costs have increased significantly. Unfortunately the money that we recolve for the funded hours has not increased at the same rate as the increase in running costs so there is a deficlt. As most of our children receive funding now, this is a problem as we do receive less per hour for funded hours than we do if they were to pay our hourly fee. We have increased our hourly fees, however, this has minimal effect on our income as most families receive funding for 2, 3 and 4 year olds. We are, therefore, looking to invite a voluntary contribution from sePtem￿r 25. This would supplement the money received for funded hours and contribute to the costs of running activities, crafts etc and providing snack for children etc. These aro entirely voluntary and parents can opt out Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held Para 1.22 Holmes Chapel Community Preschool keeps some roserves which are designated as follows- To cover staff redundancy pay To Contribute to the costs to repairlreplace our current preschool building when the need arises.
