Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year		 HARTING VILLAGE PRESCHOOL GROUP: Chair’s Report 2024 - 2025
Tamsin Cormack – Chair of the Preschool Committee
November 2025
This year was another excellent year for preschool, and I’d like to take
this opportunity to thank the staff for their unwavering commitment to the
children and their happiness; the parents and carers for their support of
the setting; and of course, the community for supporting our fundraising
events and visiting us at the Harting Festivities.
This year we had our Ofsted inspection which was overwhelmingly
positive and confirmed our ‘Good’ judgement from previous years. We
were delighted that elements of practice were identified as being
excellent and we welcomed areas for improvement. These have been
put into our self assessment and actioned. We continue to offer excellent
opportunities for children - the environment created by the staff is
constantly reviewed and improved ensures independent learning for all.
The progress the children make
–
academically, personally, and
emotionally at Harting Preschool is always commented on by visitors,
parents and the schools our children move on to. Leanne and her team
remain ambitious and are constantly striving for outstanding everyday
practice.
The number of children attending preschool has increased in comparison
to last year and the number of sessions has risen over the year which
has been hugely beneficial for us financially. The downside to this is that
we will lose a large group of children at the end of the summer term, as
they move on to reception classes in the local area.
The staff have continued to work hard this year and Leanne continues to
inspire and lead with passion and enthusiasm. Through her due
diligence, she has ensured all staff remain up to date with mandatory and
additional training, ensuring the best quality provision for the children.
Leanne has organised brilliant staff training across the year, including
mandatory sessions such as First Aid and Food Hygiene. We were again
awarded a 5* rating from West Sussex for the setting’s food hygiene and
we continue to be a setting used to example excellent practice through
West Sussex Early Years advisors.
Fundraising has again been a huge success this year – we took part in
Combined Christmas Fair and a second hand / nearly new sale
organised by the local Climate Action group. Both of these raised around
£100 each. We decided to focus as a committee on repeating the
success of the Cheese and Wine evening and again working with Harting
School to build on the success of the joint summer fair. Both events were
incredibly successful - the Cheese and Wine Night was attended by a
wide range of villagers and raised over £1800 for the preschool. As a
direct result of this event, we have been approached by a villager who is
going to set up a direct debit donation in the autumn through the
Charities Aid Foundation. We are excited to see how valued we are as a
setting to the local community and ever grateful for their support. The
Summer Fair was run jointly with the Friends of Harting School again and
again raised over £2200 for the preschool. This is incredible and we
hope to continue to build on the success of this event and raise even
more for both the school and preschool. The staff also ran the ever
popular Summer Club, providing holiday child care for 6 days in the
summer. This raised a wonderful amount of over £1000. All monies
raised will go towards improving the outdoor area for our children.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank all our staff members for the
effort they have put into providing an excellent standard of provision for
all the children, meeting all their needs and supporting them in achieving

their next steps. The use of Tapestry as a recording system has continued to evolve and supports parents to be more involved in this process.

I would like to thank staff, the members of the committee and the local community for supporting us so generously in the events we have organised. We are hoping to build on this further in the coming years, but we are hopeful that all 3 become a permanent fixture in our calendar of fundraising.

The children that have left us this academic year have mostly gone up to Harting Primary and we have continued to develop our relationship with the school, especially as thew new head has settled into post. We have been able to visit the school more regularly, use their playing field and have access to their school library. This really helps the children develop a confidence about moving up to ‘Big School’ and has further developed the sense of community within Harting. As part of this developing relationship we are continuing to use the school’s sports coach for sessions on a Monday and this year we hosted our second Preschool Sports Day on the school field. This was a huge success again and we were so impressed by our children’s physical abilities and the effort they put in to all the activities.

It was another brilliant year for Harting Preschool, thank you to everyone who has played a part in its success.
