Landulph Under Fives Trustees Annual Report (Charity Registration no. 1019722) for the period from 1[st] September 2020 to 31[st] August 2021
Address: Landulph Under Fives, Landulph Memorial Hall, Cargreen, Cornwall, PL12 6NF.
Trustees: Tim Bell, Emily Duckering, Catherine Packer, Lisa Gough.
Structure: There is a chairperson, a vice chair, secretary, treasurer, grants representative and hall & H&S representative.
Management: The committee share the day-to-day management and there are half - termly committee meetings to review performance. Trustees are commonly recruited from the pool of preschool attending children’s parents and sometimes volunteers come forward from the wider village community.
Objectives & Activities
The 2020/2021 year had again been very challenging as the Coronavirus Pandemic continued. We were able to operate reasonably normally during this period adopting social distancing procedures, temperature checks and practising hand washing. All toys and equipment used were sanitised at the end of the day.
September started off reasonably well with 8 children on the register however, the numbers reduced slightly during the year and we ended up with 7 at the year end. The numbers remained relatively low throughout the year no doubt due to the pandemic and the coronavirus restrictions in place regarding children attending dual settings.
The coronavirus restrictions also meant that we were unable to carry out our usual fundraising events involving the community so our cashflow was severely impacted by that.
We had a change of pre-school leader at Christmas 2020 and took on a new pre-school assistant in March 2021.
We said goodbye to the chairperson Tim Bell at the end of the financial period. He had been in office for 4 years.
Pre school has been running since 1975 and we continue working hard to keep this a community led asset. Maintaining this status in the climate of increasing legislation gets more difficult each year and recruiting new committee members is always challenging as parents do not always have the spare time available to commit to volunteering when they work long hours and have children to look after.
We were able to get the baby & toddler group back up and running with a staff member kindly volunteering to run it. It was rebranded as Landulph Stay and Play and proved very popular with local parents.
Achievements & Performance
The preschool was open 5 days a week in the 2020-2021 year and children’s attendance was good on all days. Activities for children at preschool have been improved by the strong skills within the staffing team and the new leader has a keen focus on preparing our children for starting school. The
staff planned a range of activities both indoor and outdoor and our children always seemed very happy and keen to start their preschool day.
Ofsted have not inspected our setting during this year.
The preschool continued to achieve its aim of providing a vibrant and caring environment for preschoolers to be cared for and encouraged to be ready for their transition to school. The preschool is still attracting children from outside the village.
Financial Review
Due to the pandemic and low numbers of children, 2020 – 2021 was another tricky year for preschool and our savings were greatly eroded.
We are very proud that we made it through the year as we are aware that many small pre-schools in the country were not as lucky. We are very grateful to the supportive community that we reside in.
