Chair/MaMger Report
Welcome blurb....
Playroom:
The core of our wonderful team has remained constant with Ja4, Chloe.
Celia. Lottie (yes, she came back after a year awayll...). Linda, Miranda and
Venetia more recently added to with Katie who knows North Wraxall well
due to her brothers comiry here and her Mum beiThJ a former Lady in
Bluell...
From September 2023 we have taken children Under 2 years old. initially
we took l yeor olds but realised that as we are all in one big space that
was not completely ideal for such diddy folk or for the staff . we then
upped the age to 18months and this hos worked well for us and how we
are set up in the Playroom, however, we nw need to reassess this goi
forward and take the yourger children again in order to stay relevant
locally. We have been lucky to have a couple of very busy years with 34
children on roll this Summer, however this is due to drop signif ic¢Mtly for
September.
Recent feedback has indicated that some children are not joining us
despite their Parents/Carers loviry the settiThJ on their visits due to the
hours we currently provide. We need to look ot extend all our afternoons
to a 4.00pm f inish, perhaps look at an earlier startin9 time and Holiday
Club too... obviously this will need discussion with the current Ladies,
possible recruitment and a9reement from the Hall Committee.
On behalf of the Comrnittee I would like to thonk our Ladies in Blue, for
the wonderful work they do with all the lovety children and families we
know that we ore so lucky to have here at North Wraxall.

Fundraisiw a Domtions:
As we are a small, Charity Pre-school fundraisiry is absolutety vital to us.
The generosity ¢Thd support from our families is hugety valued and
appreciated.
All the money we roise is plou9hed l)ack into the Pre-school for the
children-resources for the Arts and Crafts tables. replaciry worn out
toys and books, subsidisir¥J 8009ie Beats and In25port sessions, outside
equipment f or playiry with or on, bwir<J bulbs. seeds. ve9etables. flowers
for plantirrfj. mud. sand etc....without f undraisiThJ we would be umble to
off er the wide variety of quality activities for our children.
Despite knvir9 a large cohort this year, fundraisiry has not been
particularly successful. we have tried to ensure we are not overwhelmi
Parents/Carers with requests for mow but this will need to be
addressed next year when the Nmber of children in Pre-school is
droppir¥J si9nific¢Mtty.
We have ow annwl Trike-a-Thon on Monday, June 22 ond we are hopi
that a lar9e amount of money is raised and paid into the Pre-school
account-the children's and the Ladies Wish Lists ¢]re ever 9rowing!!
We received a very generous ¢]nd welcome domtion f rom the Biddestone
Fete Committee agibn this ye¢Y, they have supported us for several years
now but we cannot take for granted that we will rece¢ve anythiw this
year -f iNJers crossed and positive thinkiry though pleasel!
We receive a monthly dorntion from a former family member which is
utterly worMJerful and not taken for 9ranted or expected - we are very
9ratef ul and lucky.
