Chair’s Report for the AGM 2022-2023

Sutton Preschool has had another very successful year. The children continue to thrive in the caring and safe learning environment which the staff provide. We have run a very successful transition for the September school starters with some wonderful activities providing opportunities for the children to prepare for their next steps into school. We have welcomed visits from the head teachers of Sutton , Crayke and Huby Primary Schools. As we say goodbye to our older children who start school in September, we wish them every success in their first year at school. I would like to take this opportunity as a Trustee and a parent to thank all the staff for their hard work, care and dedication, without your enthusiasm and professionalism the Preschool would not be the happy and prosperous setting which we see today.

Staf

Debbie has led the Preschool exceptionally well with the support of a fantastic team, Millie, Alice, Yvonne, Lisa and Delphine. The parents are full of praise for Preschool and are also aware of the lengths which you all take to provide the children with such an outstanding setting to attend.

We were very sad to say goodbye to Delphine at the end of the Spring term, she worked tirelessly as part of the preschool team for more than 30 years. We are very grateful to everything she has contributed.

Following a successful recruitment process, two new members of staff joined our team Yvonne Nelson as a full time Deputy Supervisor and Lisa Harrison as a part time Assistant. On behalf of the committee, I would like to officially welcome you both to the Preschool team and wish you every success in your roles moving forward.

In April 2023 staff received a pay increase following changes to the staff pay structure reflecting increases in the minimum wage. In previous years staff wages have been increased by 5% in September, however following the April increase, the committee have decided to increase wages by 5% from April 2024.

Commitee

Thank you to Michelle Dawson for taking on the role of Secretary in September 2022.

Helen Clark officially stepped down as Treasurer and Trustee in September 2022 however she has continued in the position for an interim period while we found a new member of the committee to take on the role. Following the successful DBS and EY2 checks and committee vote, Jenny will take over as Treasurer. Helen has already started the handover process.

Following the successful DBS and EY2 checks and committee vote Elaine Grainger and Joe will be taking on the role of Chair as I step down from the position in September. It has been a great pleasure to be part of the Preschool Committee and to work with the staff since I took on the role in 2019. Although I am officially standing down, if any of the committee or

staff members need any advice on issues which occur, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Events

The Christmas Fair was a fantastic afternoon and raised just short of £1000. Many thanks to all the staff and parent volunteers who gave up their time to make it such a successful event.

The annual summer trip is to Monk Park Farm and took place on Thursday 9[th] July, this is always a wonderful trip for the children. The bus and ice creams were paid for by our fundraising events.
