Welcome to Portreath Pre Schools AGM 2021
Thank you to everyone for attending. It would’ve been so lovely to see everyone in person but sadly online meetings are having to continue for the time being. I think we are all slowly becoming zoom experts.
About the Pre School
Portreath Preschool is a charity run Preschool providing early years education for children aged 2 until they reach school age. The preschool is managed by a committee who act as the trustees. This committee is formed by parents of children who attend the preschool and members of the local community.
As a charity the preschool relies on the support of parents and the local community.
The review of the year
2020/2021 proved to be another challenging academic year for our preschool.
We returned to the setting in September 2021 full of hope for a full school year. Settling the existing crew back in was very successful and everyone was pleased to have a sense of normality back even with covid safety measures in place. Unfortunately a covid case in one of our crew meant the government guidelines were enforced and preschool closed for the week. Due to Rebekahs careful planning for such an occurrence the team switched to remote learning with zoom sessions and online resources for children and their parents. Christmas looked a little different but parents and children were still able to enjoy some of the usual festive fun with Christmas songs and activities. Father Christmas even recorded a special message for the children and left presents for them all.
Following another lockdown announcement in January the preschool remained open to everyone with some of the children remaining in preschool and some at home. Everyone was back together before Easter which then left just a term to get the flying fish cohort ready for their transition onto primary school.
This presented a number of challenges with settling in sessions cancelled. Thankfully Rebekah and her team ensured all the flying fish children got to experience what school life would be like and made sure everyone had the tools needed for this next phase in their education.
Fundraising has sadly taken a bit of a back seat this past year due to covid. However we have successfully completed a number of fundraising events which all proved really popular. A reindeer trail at Christmas, Santa pebbles, snuggle down at pre school and a summer hamper raffle to name a few.
Staffing
The preschool is run by an amazing team of highly qualified practitioners led by Rebekah the manager. We have recently welcomed back Natalie from Maternity leave. Our team also includes Louise as deputy manager, Jannah, Mel, Hannah and Rachel. Together they work exceptionally hard to provide an outstanding early years setting. We are also very lucky to have Sophie on the team taking care of all the admin.
The committee
Without the committee our preschool couldn’t run. The committee is made up of a chair, a treasurer, a secretary and a numbers of committee members.
I would like to say a huge thank you to our current committee members. Vicky as our treasurer, Tasha as our secretary, Roselyne as my deputy and all our wonderful members, Becky, Claire, Kat, Emily, Laura and Paul.
The members of the committee that are stepping down are Kat, Paul and Becky. Thank you all for your time given to our preschool. It really does make such a difference. It would be lovely to have some new faces with children at the preschool join our committee. We meet once a month, usually on a Wednesday evening. These meetings are currently held on zoom. We work closely with Rebekah and Sophie to help run the preschool with having a say in decisions and fundraising.
Now follows a finances report from Vicky the treasurer and a managers report from Rebekah.
