Annual General meeting Trustee report 24/25
Autumn
We began the year with strong attendance, maintaining a substantial number of children in both morning and afternoon sessions. There were 37 children enrolled. However, as the morning and afternoon sessions are approaching full capacity, only a limited number of places will be available throughout the year. 14 children are receiving Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP).
The children’s interests this term is dinosaurs and construction
This term, we welcomed two new staff members: Naomi, who holds a BA Hons in Early Years, and Tracey, who brings extensive experience from a private nursery. Recruitment has proved challenging due to the ongoing crisis in the sector. Tracey determined that the role was not suitable for her and submitted her resignation after four days. A new apprentice has been appointed to our team. Millie will start in November.
New two-year funding initiatives have been implemented, resulting in a significant increase in the number of two-year-old children enrolled this year.
The carpet in the main room and foyer was replaced by the setting. The project was completed over the weekend to ensure minimal disruption to preschool operations.
All staff attended the Early Years Alliance Roadshow in Bradford. The event provided valuable information, and team members participated in various training sessions to enhance their knowledge. Additionally, the experience contributed positively to team building.
Blocked drains outside the preschool building caused issues with the bathrooms. The plumber has successfully cleared the drains, resolving the problem and there hasn’t been an issue for the rest of the academic year.
SPRING
The term commenced one week later than scheduled due to adverse weather conditions involving snow and ice. The school and preschool was closed because both the school grounds and its surrounding areas were determined to be unsafe. (most schools where closed across the county)
We recently learned that Polaris Academy is taking over the school and the surrounding grounds, including the land we are currently using. This was quite surprising, as we had been working with Kirklees regarding this property. We have retained a solicitor.
We currently have 39 children enrolled, with 5 new starters joining in April. There are 14 children receiving EYPP, and 3 children with SEN—1 of whom is already receiving SENDIF funding. Applications for SENDIF funding for the other 2 children will be
submitted next term. This term, the children have shown an interest in den building and role play, with girls frequently assuming leadership positions and guiding large group activities.
We have released our Apprentice because she did not pass her probationary period; Tayyaba covered the position for the rest of the year.
Our early years consultant conducted a preliminary Ofsted inspection, during which we performed at a good level. She recommended that staff should be familiar with our curriculum. Grayson parents made a fabulous easter hamper and we raised £130
SUMMER
We currently have 44 children enrolled, with all available places filled. Eighteen children are receiving Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP). During this term, the children have demonstrated an interest in nature and marine life. Additionally, they have established strong relationships with their peers.
Polaris officially assumed the lease, securing a 10-year contract. From 1[st] of May , during initial conversations with Polaris they showed an interest in taking over the preschool in the future.
Naomi announced her pregnancy and a few months later quit her job to focus on her pregnancy.
The Council replaced the gas pipes for school which went through our garden which resulted in significant damage to our grass area. Although they have made an attempt to repair it, the restoration was inadequate.
We have 23 children transitioning to primary school. Several successful transition visits were conducted, ensuring the children were well prepared and ready for this next step. All children, with the exception of one, were toilet trained in preparation for school.
Committee and staff did several fund-raising activities Hook a duck at the school fair and Tayyaba made 2 chocolate hampers
On the last 2 weeks of our summer term we had a large outbreak of chicken pox we followed our procedures and informed the Health authority
Daniel little Balancing Bikes came for the last half term the children love attending gaining confidence riding the bikes
Moving forward for 2025/2026
We need a new climbing frame /Garden needs landscaping
Maths champion /Staff to take ownership of the curriculum
