giving the children the opportunity for holistic developmenL
Fundraising events are held to raise fijnds for the charty and encourage attendanc8 al the school.
Achlevem•nts and perfomian¢a
During this p8rtod. we have seen a vast improv8ment financially, due lo a grant of £10,000 from Bucks
Eady Years w8 were able lo get through our low period from September lo D8c8mb8r 2023 wrthoul
struggle. As the number of ap￿IcatIonS and attendance improved, we were thén able to save each
month and add approx. £1.000-£2.1)00 each month from January 2024. This enabled us lo create an
account which we can rety on should thè pre-s¢h¢Jol ever face financial difficulty again or we were forc8d
to dose and pay out redundancy ￿mpensa1t0n to our paid staff.
Applications improved drasts'cally this year meaning our income saw a large increase. This was due to
a combination of using funds to adv8rtise th8 school and th8 introduction of free funding hours to working
parents which has been introduced and increased by the govemment. We were able lo re-open
aftemoon sessions, however we still managed to do this with a paid staff of five. We did give small pay
rises but onty in line with the cost of living and minimum wage increases.
Due to the introduction of the additional charg8s for consumables and activrtiès for materials and asking
parents to provide their own nappK8s and wipes this meant we were better able to manag8 our main
finances. as these funds collected direcuy from parents mèant Ihis covered those costs completely.
This enabled us to use monies raised from fund raising events and some Charities. to make
improvements lo the pre-school classroom and outdoor garden area such as new Ilooring and a new
storage shed and all-weather shelter.
Income from charitable aclivities has remained the same, we were lucky enough to be able to run the
samé ev8nts this year however. we see a decrease in local attendance so did not introduce more
as w6 feel economically families are still struggling financially and unable to give more. We were lucky
enough to win a competition with Tesco stronger starts which raised 8 £2.000 donation and some
smaller donations from I￿al businesses and famili8s. However. we continued to recelve a lot of
dedined aP￿1¢ationS to larger charit￿$ due to our sizable income through childcare funding. Our
8xpenditure remained similar to last year, as this is mad8 up of mostly staff salary, however we saw a
decrease as we did not need lo use account funds for larger equipment this year. Our rent for our
premises remained the same, as our landlord (The CSG Cricket Club), sb'll has ongoing lease
negotiations wth the l¢xal Parish Council. Thi5 may increase in the future should this situation become
resofved and wè have an additional responsibility to cover 75% of the electric usag8 in the winter months
and 50Yo in the summer months.
We move Into the year with charitable assets of £24,169 and we are pleased to have a betler
security than last year. Once we hav8 more security with our leasing of the premises. we will be abl8 to
U88 funds to improve the pre-school and look forward to discussing this as a group.

Trustee8' Annual Report (wnllnwdl
Year ended 31 August 2024
Flnancl•l r•vlew
Many Pre-schools are continuing to strugglè under the pressur8 of increased funning costs. However,
as we received a £10,000 sustsinability granl frorn Bucks Early Years which saw us Ihfough our rnosl
difficult period, w8 have been able lo make considerabl8 financial improvements to the pre-school this
year. We also did not have the same ossenlial costs requir8d last year wllh replacing all our 8quipm8nt
ar)d resourc8S.
We have continued the same agreement with our rent with no incrgase and thè same for our percentsge
of contribut￿n lo the electric costs shared with our landlord.
We were happy to be able to make vast improvements to the pre-s¢hcd and still be able lo offer suitable
staff salaries to qualffied staff and $8ve monies for potential future difficulties or any major costs we may
incur. We will continue lo charge for consumables and increase this cost by a small percentage each
y6ar and conb'nue our savings plan as we did this yèar.
