Je55, Vicky, Owen and Sally for joining our committee last year. With a speclal thanks to Amber for stepping up as our chairperson and to Jess for approving our wa8es so we can get paid. We had a very busy year. For the first tlme in a long while the preschool wa5 at full capacity pretty much from September. Staff worked well as a team and managed the children's needs well. We had written a new curriculum that came into place from September in line with the government requirements. Staff had a structured plan of what to teach and when. This was implemented well throughout rhe year to give the children exciting experiences and help progress their learning and development. We did various fundraising activities $0 we could continue to plan enriching activities, which included the havlng VlSlts from the Farm, the Falconry company, Father Christmas, the Easter Bunny and bonnet parade. We had vis1ts to Kendal shops for an Easter sing alon& Paulton's Park and the soft play party at the Oasis Hub. Our biggest project was the completion of our sensory room whi¢h was open and ready for use the first day back in January 2025. The children had to learn to use the space as a more calming centred area rather than a soft play area. This was all new and exciting and the staff and children have enjoyed having the new improved space to enjoy and learn in. We looked at supporting the physical and mental well being through exercise. We bought new shed5 and created an outdoor exercise room complete with gymnastics bar, walking machine and other child friendly gym equipment. Our new staff member Georgie is a qualified gymnastics instructor and she has been using her skills to help the children learn to use the equipment safelv. We would like to continue to 5UPF)Ort our children and their families, and to do that we all need to continue to work together as a team. We welcome any ideas that parents would like to do for the next academic year. So please let e know if you have any ideas.
Finance Report 24-25 24-25 accounts have been finalised and will be given to the independent examiner in the next month and then be submitted to Charity Commission no later than 30.06.26. During 2024-2025 we made a profit of £21,104 This is a £12.747 decrease from last year. Money for DAF was carried over from 23124 for the allocalion of the new sensory room that was completed January 2025. Income Variances: Most of the difference has come from more funded children. This is partly due to the new entitlements that came into effect from September 2024. Where 9-month-old children of working parents were entitled to 15hrs free childcare. More children tRiving EYPP Less children receiving SEN support Less fundraising money raised. More donations. More grants through ISF. More deposits received Less uniform purchased A lot less money raised from fees. Expenses Varlances: Higher staff wages & Tax & Nl due to more staff and pay rises in April 2025. Also paid for Georgie to Start on maternity cover before starting full time the end of term last year. Lower Pension contributions due to working pattems and a malemily leave. New equipment purchased Raise in insurance charges More resources purchased Overall, all higher out90ing due to the cost of living. And having lo pay to train staff in new training to fit inline with the new funding requirements set by the government. Reserves Account The reserves a¢¢ounl holds money to cover for redundancies purposes only. We aim to hold 3 months running costs in the Current account at all times. Currently this is overstated due lo previous long standing member resigning. It has been agreed by the committee to keep these funds where they are for the time being.
