Chairperson's Report
Good afternoon, everyone and thank you for coming to this AGM. l am Amber and l am the current
chairperson for the preschool.
We saw the addition of Georgie before the end ofthe summer. And Chelsea has retumed from maternity
leave. We currently have Amelia on maternity who is due back in February. We had a fond farewell of Kelly
who has now left the preschool.
I would like to let you all know that l am now the new chairperson that has laken over from Ann-marie.
Which sadly she had to leave due to being on the committee for her full time of 10 years. We have had a
sensory room put in this year and a huge thank you to Kirsty for helping budget and plan for this. She had
to sort out the invoice as this was wrong. I would like to say thank you to Jess for stepping up for helping
with the bank while I get my head around it all. Also a huge thank you to all members of staff who are
always happy lo help and do a great job in what they do b8St for the children in the pre school.
Managers, Report
Managers report for 24125
Plello, thank you for comlng. Without your 5UPPOrt the preschool. wouldn't be able to open.
Thank you to Amber. 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.
Fees
All fees have been paid through online banking bar a few one offs.
At the end August 2024 we had £31.99 in outstanding fees for the sGhool year.
We would like to Ihank all parents who pay fees on lime, also to parents that continue to communicate with
us either by phone or email regarding fees payments & queries. l am always happy to help you where
needed
