Chairpersons report YE 2024 

Playmates Preschool continues to provide preschool education for 2 to 4 year olds in and around Thatcham, Berkshire. The preschool is based on the grounds of Whitelands Park Primary School. 

This year has been financially challenging. This was largely due to staff salary increases in line with the national minimum wage adjustment implemented in April 2024. We currently employ 10 members of staff with turnover being very low. 

Once again, we are full for next education year. Many of the September 2024 intake are two years old as the government funding has extended to this group of children. 

There are no serious incidents to report.
