Preschool and ASC June 2024
Combe Preschool and ASC continues to operate 5 days a week, from 8.50 – 6.00pm during school term times in the Combe Hub. We have 37 2- 4 year old children on Preschool roll, and we employ 8 regular staff working with the children, as well as a cleaner and an administrator. Afterschool club numbers vary, but we have between 15 – 22 children each day. Preschool has continued to attract children from surrounding villages as there is a shortage of early years places in the area. This may change in September when a brand new facility opens up in Woodstock , and we are mindful that our run of high numbers may be coming to an end.
Finances have improved considerably, with our figures for year ending August 23 showing a surplus of income over expenditure of approx. £10k. We are mindful that we may return to lower numbers and a less positive financial outlook come September 24. We continue to face big increases in our wage bill (up 9.8% this year, and 9.2% last year) as well as inflationary pressures on consumables etc.
We really are very fortunate, and grateful, that our staff team has remained stable over many years now. This is unusual in our sector and the benefit is felt by the families and children alike. Recruitment in the early years sector continues to be a national problem, so it is important that we continue to value and reward our staff as much as possible.
Ofsted paid us a visit in June 2023. This is always a stressful time for us all at Preschool, but we were delighted to receive extremely positive feedback. Judgements are given in 4 categories, and we were graded good overall, with ‘outstanding’ in two of the four areas.
Our committee and staff continue to work closely with the Combe Hub, Combe Charities, the Primary School, Combe Mutual Aid and the VHRGC all of whom are very supportive of Preschool and ASC. We are very grateful to have the support of these and other village organisations.
The continued support of Parents and the Village is much appreciated and the committee will continue to work together with our dedicated staff to continue to provide the very best early education for the young people of Combe and local villages.
