CHAIR'S REPORT FOR THE AGM
covering period 01/09/2022 to 31/08/2023
Welcome to the Bonby Pre-school Annual General Meeting covering the period from 1st September 2022 to the 31st of August 2023. 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 Chairperson.
This year we said farewell to Jessica Beach, the Setting Manager who had worked as the setting manager for 5 years and welcomed Hayley Clark as the new Manager. Hayley has a wealth of experience in early years settings, and we look forward to seeing how she develops the preschool. We also said farewell to Alison Oxenforth, a committee member for several years.
The children continue to enjoy the use of ‘Muddy Park’ this year, learning how to grow produce through play and enjoying spending time in the outdoors. We wish to thank Happy Days Farming for allowing the Preschool to continue using the land.
We continued to welcome children from 18 months old which seems to work well at the preschool.
The children, preschool team and Committee members have had a busy year, taking part in several activities to support the early years education.
-
November 2022 - Children made Remembrance Day poppies and had a walk to put them on the cenotaph in the village. They also dressed up for children in need.
-
December 2022 – There was a sponsored Christmas walk around the village which saw a good turn out. And a tombola stall was held at the Worlaby Dickensian Christmas market.
-
March 2023- To try and raise the profile of the setting an open morning for current and new families was held. Unfortunately it didn’t result in the registration of any additional children.
-
May 2023- The preschool had a games stall at the Coronation celebrations at Worlaby village hall.
Although the above activities raised some badly needed funds for the preschool, unfortunately due to increasing costs and low numbers of children at the beginning of the year the preschool has had a very difficult year financially. The committee had a complete review of the finances and put in place a number of improvements to assist with the situation however we must thank North
Registered Charity No. 1028206
Lincolnshire Council for giving the pre school a donation of £5000 from the ‘hardship fund’. This donation ensured the preschool had time to increase numbers to bring in additional funding.
One of the new activities that was trialled was the ‘fuelled’ holiday activities and food programme. The programme is free for children in receipt of benefits related free school meals, with the aim of supporting the children to eat more healthily over the school holidays and be more active. Staff from the preschool and member of the committee gave up their time during the Easter holidays and summer holidays to not only support the children but to assist with covering the overheads of the preschool and purchasing additional resources. I cannot thank everyone enough for the time and effort put in to run this activity.
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.
