4. Chair Report
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for corning and to also welcom8 all our new
familles and our retuming ones. As a committee run Pre-school we cannot run without you.
The purpose of the AGM is to.. provide a summary of the year's activity., recruit a new
committee and implement any changes. I will soon go through the Chair report. Sandra will go
Ihrough the Treasurer's report and then Donna will read the managers, report. We will then
8ddress any other business or questions you would like to raise before Ihe current committee
resigns and we then elect a new committee. That will then be the end of the meeting although

we just ask that the new committee wait for a couple of minutes to discuss roles and to book in
our first meeting which will be next week.
Next is Matters arising from the minutes of the last AGM. No additional business was raised
at the last AGM. The minutes of our last AGM were emailed to all parents and staff. Does
anyone have any questions regarding these?
For those of you who were present last year, do we agree that these minutes arg an accurat8
representation of the m881ing we held?
I will now go through the chalr report So tonlghl, wa look back at 2023-2024. During this year
w8 have beèn lucky lo have a small but mighty committee ofjust 7 members. We had 3
retuming parenls, myself, Cat and Suzy as well as Donna and Sarah. Cat without realising took
over the role of events and has and continues to do an incredible lob, Suzy stepped up when
we needed 8 treasurer which we have been so grateful for. Kelsie and Becky joined us last
year, Kelsle as secretary and B8cky as our maintenance both of whom have been awesome In
these roles. Th8 whole cornmillee have worked hard to come up with ideas and put thèm into
action lo raise funds for the Pre-school and allow th8 children and their familias lo havo some
extra fun.
Summary of the year- events
Wè had a lovely dry Autumn sponsored walk at the lookout In October and a p18y in the
park! The money raisèd was added lo our fundraising Ih8rmometer to start our 50 th
year celebrating.
We also put on our first ever Qulz Night hosted by Crown wood communlty centre- this
was a great night and was very popular- After a few glitches we managed to ra158 a small
arnount for th8 fundraising Pot. • Our first big fundraising event is the Chnstmas fair. We
had our own Grotto with the real Fathèr Chrlstrnas, outslde stall holders, a Christmas raffle,
mulled wine and our very popular tombola amongst other Christmassy games and food.
Th8 committee also pul on a spring creation station, where families could take part in
planting a seed, making cloud dough, decorating biscuits as well as an egg hunt and
a chocolate Iraal at the end. This event was our first one and was very popular with
both children and adulls.
Our second big fundraising event was the summer fair, as the Pre-school lurn8d 50 in
June we made sure we celebrated this by having a gold theme- we had afternoon tea,
henna latloos, Pimm's, Tombola, kid5 raffle and a hamper raffle including a wagon ofwinel
The sun shone and we had a great fundraising day.
To celebrate the pre-school tuming 50, we started the 50 for £50, we asked local businesses to
donato £50 for a shout out on our social media pages, we had a great response as well as
some very generous families who also offered to donate towards our thermometer total of
£5,000 which we are almost there! Plans are already Unde￿aY for this years Christmas fayrel
Fundraising events are a vital part of thé pr8school committee's work and it is important we
have as m8ny people as possible on board to help, so all volunteers are welcome and
encouraged. There are also other ways of making money for th8 Pre-school that we c8n all get
involved in such as th6 Bracknell Lottery, easyfundraising and selllng on our buy and sell
Facebook page.

5. Tr•asurer Report and prèsentation of 2023-2024 accounts.
See Appendlx 1: Accounts 2023-2024.
Annual Accounts
Copies of the draft annual accounts for the year to 31 st August 2024 are available for you to
examine. please request a copy from the committee. These accounts will be reviewed by an
independent examiner and may be subject to some minor adjustments. The accounts show that
through the year we had total Income 01 £199,020 and with wsts of £194,377 which leaves
surplus for the year of £4,644. This is an increase of the prior year of £38,103. This is driven by
an increase in the funding from BFBC, which increased by £35,000 v8rsus th8 previous year.
Parent fees remained flat versus the provious year.
BulldSng Fund and Reservos Pollcy
At the end of the year, there was £53,263 in the current account whlch Is rnalnly fees paid in
August which covers the Autumn lem1£30,983), th8 r8maind8r was retainéd incom8. In line
with the requirements of the Charity
Comrnission. we must be clear about why we have additional money in the bank. Our reserve5
policy slates that we aim lo keep be￿een 3-and 6-monlhs operating costs as an operational
float lo prolect thè Pre-school against any unforeseen problems le.g. urgent repalrs or late
payment of f8es by the Council.) This is represented by the Building Fund, and at the end of the
accoLJnting period th8sè rèserves stood at £55,990. This amount is to fund major projects to
update our provislon and to save toward5 a replacement for the current Pre-school building
when necessary. The s8cond reserve is the Operational Reserve, this is lo cover 8ny potential
redundancy costs were the Pre-school lo have to close. I would like to recommend that this
amount is reviewed in the new financial year to make sure that there is enough to cover the
current levels of seNice and wage rales. The current balanc8 is £47,316.
Fundralslng
We had several fundraising evenls earlier in the year which brought our totsl fundraising surplus
this year to £904, a reduclSon on last year's surplus of £3.364. This has been driven by the lack
of Easter event and no Coronation event this year, whlch were good fundraisers in the previous
year. Donations received from our £50 for 50 to celebrate our 50 th year raised £700. We are
incredibly grateful for all the support for this event. We do our best to
ensure that fundralsing money is spent directly on equipment &amp,' resources, or trainlng, to
benefit the children rather than being consumed on general running costs. Our committee put a
huge amount of effort into our fundraising events, if you can help u5 in any way, we would really
appreciate it.
Budget
Once the accounts for last year have been completed an itemised budget for the coming year

will be drawn up by the Manager and discussed with the Committee. As always it is important
that we make sure the building is well rnainlained as it is now over 23 years old. This year wé
are keen to develop the garden area and outdoor resources, with the possibility of including
forest school activities and training. Continuing to develop the support given to children who are
not on track and with additional needs is high in the Pre- schools agenda and v4ill be don8
through increased training and addition81 resources. Money has also been allO￿ted toward a
BA graduate childrens development and leaming course for our Deputy Manager Donna.
Fundlng and Fees
The CU￿8nt rat8 for 3- &amp', 4-yearwolds is set at £5.99 per hour for this academic year, eligible
funded 2-year-olds have a b8se rate of £8.63. These figures include an extra 14p per hour
quality supplement on top of the base rate due lo our Manager, Sarah, being level 6 qualified.
We ar8 pleased to be able lo support working parents and offer the 30 hours of funding as w611
as the universal 15 hours for all othèr funded children. Our fees have in¢rea5ed slightly this year
10 £8.50 per hour for our ￿0-Year￿OIdS and £7.50 per hour for our 34 year old children who
sttend more than thèir funded hours, Ihis was necessary due to the national minimum wage
increaslng and a decision we did not take lightly. Whilst the preschool is in a reasonab18 Posltion
financially the reserves are limited, any fundraising idèas ar8 welcome as we need to maximise
our income to ensure we maintain the preschool as a great place for your children to grow and
develop. If anyone can help, please do let us know.
6. Stafl Report
Thank you, Hannah, and thank you all for being here tonight. The staff and l aré gratèful you
hav8 tak8n the lim8 to come and support us. Myjob this évaning is to provide a brief update on
st8fflng, tr81nlng, the chlldren end lo give a bdef oulllne of our plans for this coming year.
Staff
I would like to start by saylng a blg thank you lo the staff team. This year has been successful
thanks to your hard work and dedication lo your roles. I want to thank you for going above and
beyond lo ensure that th8 children's needs are met and their experi8ncas al Pre-school are not
only fun but both exciting and valuable. The compliments the staff have continued lo receive
from families and 8x18rnal colleagues is testament to their passion and the highquality care that
they provide. I honestly couldn't ask for a more hard-working group of people to work wilh.
There have been some staff changes slnce our last AGM, with Jessica leaving us for pastures
new over the summer. She has taken a role in a local primary school as a TA in order lo be
closer to her son. Anu has decided to taka an extended matemity leave with her son Aryan, and
we are currently in discussion to see when she would lik8 to return. Our most recent employee
Is And￿a, who joined us at the start of term lo do our cleaning. She has slotted in beautifully to
our group and leaves the place looking sparkling, so thank you lo Andrea for joining us.

Slaff training
Having a fully qualified and axparienced team is one of our strengths here at the Pre-school and
something we do not take lightly. We invest heavily In staff trainlng because there are proven
links between a graduate lèd workforcè and children's improved outcomes.
I have now successfully completed Iwo years of the foundallon degree in Children's Leamlng
and Development and began the IhSrd and final year of my 8A al the end of September. I wlll be
attendlng Reading university for a full day on a Friday until May.
All staff have contlnued to update thelr essentlal training as needed. First ald. Safeguarding and
Basic food hygiene and amongst us 18St year wè also completed courses on the earty years
currfculum. This year there are plans for furth8r curriculum training, including intent and
implementation, OFSTED readiness and refreshers on 5 to thrive.
Children
As always It was emotSonal saying goodbye to all the chIld￿n leaving at the end of last term. 25
children went off lo 9 differant schools within the area. The majority again went to Birch Hill
Primary, followed by Crownwood. Children also went lo St Margaret Clitherow, Jennetts Park,
Wildridings, the Pines, Harmans water, Holly Sprlng and Sl Michaels.
17 children returned this year and we have 28 new starters, 80 we now have 45 children on roll,
with a further 3 children joining us in January.
Plan for this year
Last year we worked closely wllh professionals from the Child Development Centre, Speech and
Language as well as the Educational Psychologist to make sure the children with Special
Educ8tSonal needs received the best support posslble. We applied for Educational Health Care
Plans and We￿ pleased lo see the assessments happening before the children started school.
Something that is is not always a given. As part of their transitions, their key person
and I went into their new schools to hand over key infomiation lo thelr teachers and ensure that
they were prepared for thi5 change.
As well as our usual fun and activities, this yéar we have been able to welcome 5 Ducklings to
the Pre-school which w8 hatched from Eggs. The children loved watching the process las did
the slaffll and spoke about Rosie, Ralphi, Chugga, Nicely and Steve for many weeks after they
had left. The Ducklings were rehomed by one of our parents on their sist8rf5 farm, and the

pictures we hav8 588n show them doing very well which is so nicel We would love to repeat this
process this year with our new cohort so If anyone would eventually like some lovely Ducklings
please let me know...... ! We have also invited extemal coaches who ran football sessions and
music classes for the children. This term we have also restarted visiting the library and are
looking forward to the Pantomime trlp In December and inviting parents in for a Christmas sing
along.
Tooth decay is also still a problem amongst young children, so last year we spent Ume
promoting good oral health. There was a visit from a dental nurse who talked to the chSldren
about brushing their teeth and good food choices. We bought and used resources and books
with the children that insligaled conversations where staff could talk to the children about visiting
the dentist antl brushing their teeth. We also provided information to parents via facebook and
leaflets and gave each chlld a toothbrush and toothpaste to take home. Thls Is something we
will continu8 doing this year. Online Safety also continues to be high on the agenda and is
something we will continue to work to to promote to our children and families.
During the year. wè worked wlth volunteers again from Syngenta and Allegis during the
holldays, lo do gardèning, palntlng, carpet cleaning and repairing. The help we have received
from volunteers via INVOLVE has been invaluable and hopefully we will continue working with
them. However, this year our new committee will also be re-introducing parent maintenance
weekends. where paranls will be Invlted to come In and help with som8 of the smaller DIY lobs
that need doing around the place. We are so grateful for any support given by parents on jobs
big or small.
And finally, a big thank you to our commlttee for their support and input last year. it has been
pleasure working wlth all of you. W8 have really enjoyed the lovely events you organised for our
families and the money you helped raise will allow us lo continue developing the Pre-school and
the experiences we offer. This year we hope to focus on our outdoor environment, extending the
opportunities for the children to be outdoors In all weathers and developing a deeper
understanding of the wodd around them. Without our committe8 we would not be able to
onllnue dolng th8 things we do and l am now l¢)oking lO￿ard to seeing some of our new
parents on the Committee and to working with them towards another successful year.
Chairman closing statement
For all our new parentslcarers your children will probably be just starting their Preschool
adventure. getting involved with the Committee is such a rewarding way to be involved in your
child's joumey. Without a Commiltee team the Pre-school cannot run. This is a legal
requirement. We have to have a committee in order to keep it open. Ifwe do not have all 3
official roles filled, we would be forced to clos8 the setting.

Kelsie's son is in his second year with her youngest due to start in January so she will be
standing for re-election. Cat's daughter is also in her first full year so she will be slanding for
re-election.
ANY parent I carer can be part ofthe Committee, we just require you lo complete a DBS check
certificate and then you can have your say. Committee members are th8 charity trustees of the
pre-school and together they are
responsible for th8 OV8rall manag8m8nt and smooth-running of the setting. This can mean
8nything from organising a fvndraising event lo reading and agreeing nèw policies for the
Pr8-School. Wè meet once èvèry half tèmi, in the evening and during the meetings we
discuss formal and informal matters. I have been so proud and happy lo have been involved
as the chair of the committee. I thank all the committee for all their help. exciting ideas,
commitment and hard work behind the scenes every term and I would 8ncourage anyone to
gel Involv8d becaus8 wè do have lols of funl
Thank you.
