Lover & Redlynch Pre-School Chair’s Annual Report 2020

Good evening and thank you all for coming and supporting the Pre-School at our AGM.

The last academic year was another good year with 19 children on roll; a great achievement that we should be very proud of. At the end of the 2019 summer term we waved goodbye to another year group of 8 as they have moved on to their respective Primary Schools.

As of November 2020 we have 24 children on roll (with 1 more starting in January). This is an unprecedented number of children and is the result of great work by the whole team getting the word out about our wonderful Pre-School. This has resulted in us needing to increase our staff numbers and following a well answered recruitment process we are happy to welcome Claire, Jo and Agnes. Claire and Jo join us as apprentices and Agnes joins us as a level 3 practitioner. We are very excited to have them join the team.

Lisa our Pre-School leader continues to do a fantastic job running the Pre-School and caring for our children. She constantly goes above and beyond for the Pre-School. Lisa - thank you for all you do. I’d also like to say a big thank you to all the staff who have worked tirelessly during very testing times and all stepped up brilliantly over winter whilst Lisa was off work.

At the end of the summer term we said goodbye to staff member Laura Poulter. Laura was very popular with the children, staff and parents and will be greatly missed.

This year we also said goodbye to two committee members; Rachel Lamb and CJ Raines. Thank you both for everything you have done for the Pre-School.

Following Rachel’s departure Teresa kindly took over her role of Health and Safety Rep and has completed and passed the relevant courses.

We also welcome four new members to the committee: Cathy Wilson (Kieran’s Mum), Abby Nanson (Jude’s Mum), Emma Lever (Stanley’s Mum) and Eleanor Williams Howe (Edith’s Mum). Welcome all and thank you for joining us.

Following CJ standing down, Issy will continue as committee secretary solo. Thank you Issy.

I would like to thank the committee for all their hard work this year; especially in these unusual and testing times. The pre-school can’t run without the committee and I and the PreSchool team are grateful for all their contributions.

We are always looking for new committee members, whether parents or not. If you know anyone who may be interested, please do put them in touch with us!

At this point of my report I would normally write about the many different fundraising events we undertook in the last year and the great amount of money we raised from them, but COVID has definitely given us challenges over the last academic year.

The years fundraising started really well with very successful pamper evening and Christmas fair organised by Issy. We then received a lovely donation from Lover Community Trust following their Valentines Post and were picked as the nominated charity for Hale food market. We also received a generous cash donation from Geoff Swan Ltd.

All of our other planned fundraising events since March were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were on track to raise at least £3,000 - £4,000 during those 9 months. We are now in a position where we need to raise significant funds to make up for the lost opportunities.

The Preschool committee have been busy coming up with COVID friendly ways of

fundraising and last month the Halloween virtual balloon race was a real success raising £783. Thank you to Geoff Swan Ltd for kindly donating the cash prizes and also covering the fees from the company that hosted it.

The unwanted clothing collection last week was also a roaring success with hundreds of bags of clothes donated and the Virtual Advent Calendar has also proved massively popular already and looks on track to raise a really good amount.

Thank you to all who have supported us over the past year, we really appreciate all you do.

We have a significant amount of fundraising to do in the coming year, so as a committee we will need to continue to focus our efforts on a variety of both new and proven fundraising events to achieve this.

Finally, after a lot of consideration I have decided to step down as Chair of the committee at the end of the year. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 2 years in the role but with a significant change in my work circumstances meaning I am working abroad a lot more, it is the right time for someone else to have their turn. If anyone is interested in taking on the role please do let me know.

Thank you for your support.
