## **Lover & Redlynch Pre-School Chair** ’ **s Annual Report 2023**
Good evening 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.
We started the 2022 academic year with 20 children on our books and we finished the year in July with 26 children on role with 12 leaving for school. We currently have 20 children on role with more starting after Christmas. This is testament to the wonderful reputation we have in the area and our fantastic staff.
I would like to say thank you so much to all the staff for their hard work and dedication. They create stimulating and nurturing environment and give all our children the care and attention they deserve. I am pleased to report that Charlie is just starting her apprenticeship, she is a real asset to the pre-school. We have also been lucky enough to have two fantastic volunteers Antonia and Henry who have been helping us this year so thank you to them.
I would also 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 preschool and seeking out donations. Successes included the Christmas advent calendar, Easter raffle, 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.
I am not going to say that it will be easy for the pre-school over coming years, funding from Wiltshire is sadly just not enough. Also with the introduction of the new funding for 2 year old for working parents, (which can only be a positive step for working families) we will need to look at the funded rates we will be receiving and our capacity.
In addition the new initiative of changing the ratios for 2 year olds from 1:4 to 1:5 might seem like it helps out pre-schools but in reality 2 years need extra support especially when they are settling and increasing the ratio just puts more pressure on staff.
We were sad to hear that Downton pre-school closed its doors in July. With high rent, staff wages and lack of children this was not a sustainable situation. This is a national issue with 5000 pre-schools having closed this year alone. We are lucky we don’t pay rent and it is keeping us going.
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 do the same.
Many thanks
Helen
Chair, Lover and Redlynch Pre-school
