Treasurers AGM report January 2025 For the financial year ending 31st august 2024 we had £9,569.09 in the bank account. There was £281.58 in petty cash. We had £12,447.18 in our gold savings account and £10,422.71 in Scottish widows which is to be used if we needed to pay redundancy or for ernergency use, although this is not likely to be needed it is a failsafe and means that anyone now joining our committee will not have to worry. This year we were given £96,252.29 in funding •t6 which was £5,045.52 le55 then last year, we have also seen fees drop significantly at £24,556.56 which is a large decrease of £19,172.01. This year has seen another great effort from our fundraising team, we have had successful events that have raised £2,140.66 for the preschool. We had a very successful crafty Christmas event, A race night and a family disco, just a few of our events from this year. We have fundraising in house with our famous Christmas and graduation photos taken by Jen, which are always wonderful pictures and very popular with families. A massive thankyou to all of those involved in our fundraising. This year we have received £753,05 in donations. The funds raised from our events this year have been put towards buying new outdoor play equipment for the children to enjoy, as a committee we gave the staff each a budget and asked them to send us resources they thought the preschool and children would benefit from the most, we also as a committee chose selection of resources and toys that we wanted the children to be able to enjoy. It has been incredible to be able to give the children so many new resources. A massive thankyou to all who help fundraise and those who donate too We spent £1895.68 on activities for the children, the preschool has various clubs on in different sessions throughout the week, science club. dance club and gardening club. We also now have cooking/messy club as well. This also helps to buy much needed resources for the children. Many thanks Simone Farren Treasurer
Pr¢ S¢01 Good evening all, and thankyou for coming. The preschool must 'host' an annual AGM to report on the achievements of Little Acorns and our hopes for the coming year. Hopefully. we won't keep you long. and please help yourself to tea,coff88. The committee at present consi8ts of myself as chair from September. Simone as treasurer and Lisa Well8r as secretary. These 2 ladies are a continuous support to myself and th8 preschool and truly go above and beyond for Little Acorns, so thankyou both. The 3 of us form the legal minimum for a committee, with anyfewer the preschool would have to close. So, we hav8 been very fortunate to now have another member to add to our team and I want to take this opportunityto announce that the committee h8ve voted in Geri. A huge thank you to Geri for st8ppingforward and agreeing to join. I would also like to take this opportunityto thank our amazing team of staff who work so incredibly hard in the interests of your children to provide consistent childcare, fun and education. Since our last AGM Lisa Turner, came to the end of her role as chalr. Lisa was with us for nearly 4 years and was a huge support to Little Acorns and is missed Loads- especially by Me. We have employed Sam as a trainee practitioner (hopefully starting h8r NVQ studies soon) 8nd we have said goodbye to our school Leavers. Returning in September, our total child numbers have remained pretty consistent, the afternoon sessions remain less attended, but as we stand nowwe have 2 moming sessions that are at full capacity. Jen has joined the adrnin side of the preschool for 2 day8 a week, allowing me to focus on the role of chair. and is a great support. We have also enlisted a new accountant, who working alongside Jen and our bookkeeper, Liz, hope to streamline and update our invoicing, payments and monies side of the preschooL, making it easier for all involved in the finances of Little Acoms. We were really pleased to receive a 'good provider, rating from Otsted forthe preschool in December- a fantastic accomplishment for the preschool as a unit. The word Ofsted hits a note of dread in staff and I know theywere 8ILfeelingthe pressure in the build up and on the day. I must express enormous thanks to each and every Staff member fortheir performance. and a special note of gratitude to Jenny who was under immense pressure of the day We continue to accommodate as many children into Little Acorns as we can, adhering to ratios. and although w8 don't have a wait list we have children on our registerto start way up to 2026, and thi8 coming Septembers register is looking hopeful!
