Para 1.20 | We have been working hard to establish a stable and proactive committee of dedicated volunteers after a period of instability/changes of members. The Committee have worked hard to ensure the future fnancial stability of the Pre-School, following a defcit budget. In response, the committee are reviewing how this can be rectifed. We are looking to have robust systems in place for monitoring expenditure, monthly cashfow, setting annual budgets and to increase income. All of our practitioners continue to complete mandatory training and a recent review of the pre school curriculum has been a huge focus and is now being rolled out in the setting. The resignation of the previous manager led to recruitment of the current Manager, in April 2021. The new committee began renewing all policies with an aim to bring them all up to date and this will continue to happen annually. |
