## **Buttercross Pre School AGM 10[th] October 2022 Chair Report**
Thank you to you all for attending and a welcome to the new faces of our future committee.
What a year fantastic year we have had! The Covid-19 pandemic has still presented challenges this year, but thanks to the quick thinking and adaptability of Tracey, we have bounced into action quicker than ever.
I am so proud of how our staff have adapted so freely and kept the happy smiley attitudes that we all love! Thank you so much for your hard work and determination- you are truly a fantastic team!
The aftereffect of the pandemic continues to alter how we offer provision, but I am delighted to say we are still producing really good results. We remain proud in the knowledge that our children leave us extremely capable for school and life ahead. Our children truly have shown great resilience and school readiness in their ability to adapt to change.
## **Investment**
We continue to invest in staff and training. Utilising the inset days as implemented last year has helped massively with this.
As with all sites of our nature we continue to invest in replacement resources and general maintenance and up-keep, most recently, having the outside wet-pour flooring replaced which looks fantastic!
## **Fundraising**
As we ease back into ‘normal’ life, we have continued with our fundraising efforts:
- I am pleased to say that our Annual Ladies Night was a great success, raising (?).
- Cake sales and gift bags were a soaring success and have raised (?).
- I’d just like to take a moment here to thank Tracey and Natalie for organising the brilliant idea of mothers and fathers-day gift bags. This was very well received by the parents and a wonderful opportunity for our children to experience ‘real life’ shopping. Thank you!
- The summer fair was another great annual event, it was lovely to engage with our parents and see the littles ones having such good fun and we raised (?).!
- In addition to this, our school lottery, raised (?).
Making a grand total of (?).
## **Staffing**
I know I say this every year, but Tracey really does lead our team very well and regularly goes over and above her job description to ensure that everything is running as it should. With Natalie’s help and support they continue to strive and encourage our staff to be the best that they can.
Ongoing investment in our staff is helping to grow a happy and focused team and their unwavering dedication remains. We are very lucky to have the staff that we do and I thank you all from myself and the committee for your hard work and support.
Although this is something that is reiterated yearly in our AGM, this year has been next level in terms of the commitment, dedication, and overall welcoming environment that you continue to show.
Even in the aftermath of a pandemic, the staff facilitated a brilliantly managed transition for our older children into school. They were confident, ‘school ready’ and adapted well to the changes. This level of commitment from the staff to ensure that this transition goes well helps to maintain our good relationship with local infant schools.
## **Committee**
We are very lucky that we are keeping many members of the committee this year and have welcomed new members to our team too. (Introduce and welcome new members)
A note to new member- the form can be tedious but believe me the volunteering is very rewarding! If you need any help, feel free to reach out to any of us.
Tina has decided to step down from the Committee officially and she will be very much missed. Thank you so much for your hard work over the many years you have stood on committee.
## We are as always **still looking to recruit new members** , so please, lets try to all be active throughout the year in our recruitment!
To surmise, it has been another good year for our pre school. We remain in a positive position but need to stay aware of the future changes that could affect us. Our provision of care has always been and continues to be at a very high level and we aim to attain that in the future with continued hard work.
Thank you everyone involved.
