CHAIR'S REPORT FOR THE AGM
covering period 01/09/2021 to 31/08/2022
Welcome to the Bonby Pre-school Annual General Meeting covering the period from 1st September 2021 to the 31st of August 2022. For those of you that don't know me, my name is Pauline Lyon, and I am the current nominated Chairperson for Bonby Pre-school.
I became the Chairperson for Bonby Pre-school on the 23[rd] May 2022, serving as a trustee of the Pre-school prior to my appointment as Chair person.
This year has seen a change in Committee members, with the appointment of a new Chair and Treasurer. After a number of years as Chair, we said farewell to Mark Atton and also Margaret Smith who has served as Treasurer for a several years. We thank both Mark and Margaret for all the time and commitment they have given over the years to support the Pre-School and welcome James Dixon as the new treasurer.
We also received notice that Jessica Beach, the Setting Manager would be leaving the setting at the beginning of the next school year. Jessica worked as the setting manager for 5 years and over this time has been a great asset, implementing the curiosity approach, as well as many other initiatives such as Millie’s Mark. She has had a positive impact on the lives of many children who’s first experience of a school setting has been the preschool. The search for a new setting Manager began with the hope that someone can be found before the next school year.
A local resident kindly donated a piece a land for the Preschool to use as an outdoor learning area. The children named the land ‘Muddy Park’ and with donations received from local businesses, a fence has been erected around the perimeter, a shed for storage and some wooden beds were built, in preparation for the children to start learning how to grow produce and learn through play. We wish to thank Happy Days Farming for allowing the Preschool use of the land and also thankyou to the following local business/Parish Councils for donations to develop the space for the children - Bioganix, Birch Solutions, Elsham Parish Council, Worlaby Parish Council as well as donations from parents.
From January 2022 the Preschool started to welcome children from 18[th] months. The setting was adapted to be able to accommodate younger children and was soon receiving interest.
The children have had a busy year, taking part in several activities to support their early years education.
- December 2021 the children went to rand farm to meet Father Christmas as well as interact with all the animals.

June 2022, a summer trip to Elsham Hall to celebrate the Queens Jubilee with parents and had an afternoon tea together.
-
July 2022, a rhyme challenge sponsored walk to raise money for the school.
-
July 2022, a joint leaving party with Worlaby toddler group for school leavers.
-
April-July 2022, the children moving up to school were supported with transitions visits to the school as well as teacher visits to the Pre-school.
As a charitable organisation fundraising activities are critical to support the financial stability of the Preschool, and so it was great that Fundraising activities resumed after COVID. We saw several events such as a street boot at a local community centre and a fundraising day for Children in Need.
I would like to close by saying a big thankyou to the staff of the Preschool for all their hard work, flexibility and commitment, as well as all the committee members for giving their time to support the Pre-School.
