Trustee selection method:
All trustees are nominated by the Members of Sturry Playgroup and are re-elected each year at the AGM and EGM.
Activities and Achievements:
The charity is managed by the playgroup committee and staffed by; 1 Manager, 1 Deputy Manager / SENco/ Health & Safety Officer, 1 Senior Practitioner and 4 Practitioners. We have two independent people to maintain our garden. | can report another year where we have successfully been able to meet our main aims and objectives.
Our sessions were full, and we have a healthy waiting list, there are currently 42 children on the register and a further 26 children on our waiting list. We have a criteria for admissions and this is used to ensure that we can offer as many sessions as possible, to as many children and ensuring sustainability for future years for the pre-school.
All staff continue to attend regular training including our ‘in house training’ and online training which has proved successful following feedback from staff. This is to ensure that we are always up to date with our statutory requirements on training and any changes with legislation and processes. Training is also arranged in conjunction with the collaboration that the Pre-Schoo! belongs to and Angela Harvey is Treasurer.
The committee have organised a variety of fundraising activities, most of which were all very well supported, and we have been able to purchase new resources with this.
We were able to welcome new committee members to replace those leaving in July when their children left to go to school and other points during the year, for various reasons.
The accounts attached, show a very small deficit of £246. £7500 is ringfenced for the CUE collaboration. Considering the increasing costs of NMW and NI of 3%, the accounts are in a good position currently. This would have been impacted by the introduction of 2 year old working parent entitlement, which meant that we were full from September and did not need to do a January intake to balance the books. The Loca! Authority has continued to pay DSG funding for all those eligible, however, we must find other ways to source income such as fundraising and other contributions, to ensure that we remain financially sustainable for the future. Finances are always a concem, particularly with the planned increased costs of utilities, consumables and of minimum wage from April 2026, and the change in Statutory Sick Pay for all staff. | declare, in my capacity of charity trustee that - e The trustees have approved the above; and have authorised me to sign it on their behalf.
