Treasurer report: 

The Treasurer Mrs Sheila Madden passed around copies of the year end accounts. The financial situation was steady, with the number of children now attending which is equal with last year. As per last year the the bills at preschool are increasing and to this end, we propose to increase our fees in September 2025 to £21 for a 3hour session, our fees have not increased in the last seven years. 

Any other business: 

The new starters that joined in September/January and Easter have settled well, and the preschool is running at ninety per cent occupancy. 

The staff have continued with their professional development by attending training courses. regular managers and safeguarding and Senco forums. All staff have completed level 2 safeguarding in line with the new EYFS ready for September 2025. 

## Ofsted : 

We had our Ofsted inspection on the 9[th] June 2025, we achieved outstanding in two areas and an overhaul result of good. This was a very positive experience for us all. 



All members of staff hold a relevant first aid certificate
