## **Trustees’ Report September 2021 – August 2022** 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The main purpose of the charity is to provide high quality care and education for children of the local area and to support children and parents in their child’s development. 

Weldon Pre-School is a charity run setting providing up to 30 places.  As well as the usual level of subscription from Weldon Village based families, we continue to have several families travelling in from Corby and Priors Hall to access the Pre-School. 

We started this academic year with quite the good number of children returning in September and then a steady flow of new starters in the new term. 

Looking ahead to the new academic and financial year, the Pre-School Committee elected to impose a modest increase in charge rates, predominately to offset the rise in the national living wage. 

The Pre-School, again, continues to face ongoing issues with regards to the administration of funding by the local authority, including and not limited to, incorrect computation of children, hours, and payment allocation.  We strive each month to quality check the funding received, reporting any issues promptly and hoping for swift rectification.  This does, however, present cashflow issues on occasion. 

This year we have returned to carrying out the ‘normal’ fundraising events including our Summer 

and Christmas Fayres. We have also been looking at smaller fundraising events to try and help keep the cash flow healthy. 

The Pre-School continues to be challenged in its attempts to garner interest from existing and new parents to contribute and/or join the committee.  However, we are currently operating with a dedicated and efficient small team that is currently working well. 

## **Our committee** 

The following people serve on the committee: 

Chair – Sam Wylie 

Treasurer - Dionne MacDermott 

Secretary - Emma Chalmers 



General Member – Sarah Furbank 

Elena Tugulea 

## **Our Preschool Team** 

We have a strong team working in our Pre-School, made up of: 

Carlene Fox - Manager (Early Years Teacher Status) 

Danielle Smith - Deputy Manager (BA Hons Working with Children and Families) 

Carla Henry – (Level 3) 

Penny Smith (Assistant) 

The Pre-School numbers at the end of year were 24 children on register, with 13 moving on to Primary school. 

Weldon Pre-School made a loss of (£10,694.28) in this fiscal period. 

The Trustees’ report for the year ended 31[st] August 2022 was approved on 

09.01.22
