- Trustees Report 2020 2021
The year 2020/2021 started seeing the country in lock down, Hillside Preschool, under government guidelines, found themselves virtually empty except for any children that were classed as vulnerable or the children of key workers. Fortunately, Bristol City Council maintained funding levels and with the opening for vulnerable and key worker children it became an opportunity to ensure staff were up to date on training (first aid and courses with Educare, all online).
Due to covid restrictions and government guidelines we found it difficult to arrange an AGM this year however parents/carers views and opinions were widely consulted and confirmed everyone were satisfied with progress at Hillside Preschool in these difficult times.
Hillside Preschool reopened for all that would like to attend from 22/06/2020, although low numbers at first, once the summer break ended attendance rose significantly.
A big thank you to Clive and Wendy Blanning for all their work and commitment over many years as trustees and we wish them a very enjoyable retirement.
Hillside Preschool ended the financial year in a strong financial position at the end March 2021 as per the balance sheet attached.

- Preschool Leader Report 2020 2021
After a faltering start due to covid lockdown, we fully reopened in June 2020.
We had a lot of telephone communication with parents and carers on how they were coping and how we would manage to open safely given the seriousness of the pandemic. We took on board all available guidelines and help from our Early Years lead teacher via many phone conversations and e mails. One way systems were set up to facilitate parents and carers to drop off children, hand sanitiser post at the preschool entrance, mandatory wearing of masks by all in preschool vicinity, children regularly involved in hand washing and supply of staff PPE to be worn during sessions. All staff had weekly lateral flow tests to ensure safety at work. Advice given to parents and carers that anyone with covid symptoms should not attend.
Overall things went well although there was some trepidation from some parents, after the summer break attendance improved significantly, with new intake gradually swelling our numbers. New children settled in well and were following daily routines, feedback from parents showed they were pleased with their progress. Feedback sessions were held with parents, carers, children and their keyworkers.
All staff have maintained their training needs via on line resources.
I would like to thank the parents committee for their help, they are Lucy Dempsey, Alison Lockyer, Emma Walker, Becky Cox, Jo Hurley, Bintou Jenkins, Magdalena Kozlowska, A. Tand
Finally, a big thank you to our staff for their support and help through the year.

- Treasurers Report 2020 2021
Beverley Llewellin Treasurer reported that Hillside Preschool is in a strong financial situation at the end of financial year 2020/2021 as the current balance sheets presented with this report shows. Our main source of income is from Bristol City Council Universal education entitlement. This revenue source can vary with changes to headcount and this needs to be taken into account when future expenditure is being forecast.
We have had an increase of children from the lower levels during 2019/2020 once Preschool reopened after covid lockdown. We have reviewed our session times also families, from September 2020, can apply an extended 15 hours childcare.
From the beginning of the financial year, Preschool was closed due to Covid 19, however Preschool was available for vulnerable children and for keyworker children. Preschool reopened under covid restrictions end of June 2020.
Thank you to parents/carers and the committee for their continued support and fundraising efforts.
We continue to develop and improve the outside play area adding facilities for the children.
We have now replaced the large chalk boards, with new ones, and added a new area for the mud kitchen.
A sincere thank you to all members of the preschool team for your work during the year.
