Lover & Redlynch Pre-School Chair ! s Annual Report 2022

Good morning and thank you all for coming and supporting the pre-school at our AGM.

It is with great pleasure I write this report on behalf of the committee, staff, parents and of course the children at the Lover and Redlynch Pre-school.

As a relatively new parent of the pre-school I have been busy learning about pre-school life and I am delighted Lawrence is so happy and well looked after at Lover. This is of course thanks to the incredible team of staff who a create stimulating and nurturing environment and give all our children the care and attention they deserve.

We started the 2021 academic year with a new leader in Zoe with 15 children on our books. Not scared to make improvements and changes, Zoe and Jenni (the business manager) working with the team, implemented lots of new changes to the way the pre-school ran, including how they communicated with the parents, child initiated planning and the way observations were recorded.

In the March we had our Ofsted inspection and we were all delighted when we received a good rating. The Ofsted visit is always a nerve wracking time but staff and committee all rose to the challenge.

It was a huge achievement that we finished the year in July with 27 children on role with 14 children leaving for school.

I would like to extend my thanks to the committee who have recently left as their children have now gone onto school. They worked extremely hard to fundraise for the pre-school and seeking out donations. Successes included the Christmas advent calendar, clothing collections and Lover Fayre. I would also like to say thank you to those of you have joined the pre-school committee. This pre-school cannot run without you and we appreciate whatever time you can spare to help with fundraising. Increasingly we are all leading busy working and family lives but we need to look after this wonderful asset so children and families can continue to enjoy the Lover warm welcome.

The support from the local community this year, in particular, the Lover Committee Trust and the Lover repair cafe has been really important to us, not only in their generous donations but also and in them seeing the value in our presence within this community.

In September 22 we started with an amazing 18 pre-schoolers, 2 more have since joined and we have 5 starting after Christmas! This is testament to the wonderful reputation we have in the area and the staff. We are pretty much full some days!

I would like to say thank you so much to all the staff for their hard work and dedication. I would also like to congratulate Jenny and Lynsey on their recent appointments as joint deputies.

I am not going to say that it is going to be easy for the pre-school over the coming months and years, minimum wage is set to increase again and the funding from Wiltshire is sadly just not enough. This is a national issue with 4000 pre-schools having closed this year alone. We

are doing all we can to ensure the future of the pre-school and I would urge you all to do your bit to support this special pre-school on the Green.

Many thanks

Helen

Chair, Lover and Redlynch Pre-school
