Chairs Report:
This last year has been a tricky year with the personal things Chris has had to go through and not being able to do our usual big fundraisers. However with the support of my Co chair Nic and the rest of the committee we did manage to come together and do some good fundraising.
I am having a wonderful time being the Chair of this lovely committee and I am glad to stay on as Co-Chair with Nicola.
Thank you for the committee's help through this past year, I look forward to seeing what the next year brings.
Iola/Nicola.

Firstly, we would like to say a big thank you to those who have attended today and for your continued support throughout the year.
This AGM covers the school year from September 2022- July 2023. Our intake in September was as expected and purposely kept slightly lower as we will have children joining us in January and April, with the children that are already on our roll needing extra sessions during the year.
Our topics for the year varied from All About Me, to the seasons and our community., which was an exciting opportunity for the children to go out in the village to take photos of all the different shops, the library, doctors surgery and the school. The children thoroughly enjoyed this and it gave them lots to talk about. We were also able to resume our normal Christmas activities and took the children to Rusthall lodge ro sing their Christmas songs.
We welcomed our new joint Chairperson’s Iola Palmer-Stirling and Nic Gooding and some new committee members who set about arranging lots of different fundraising from sponsored reading and walking, cake and plant sales, along with the 100 square which was as popular as ever. They raised an amazing amount of money which all goes to buying new resources for the children. With this money we were able to buy some new babies and accessories, a new trampoline, action figures and barbies and replace some cars. All of which the children have loved playing with. We continue to update our training with all staff undertaking their first aid training, basic safeguarding training and Chris and Zoe doing their designated Safeguarding Lead training online. Kelly signed up to do her level 3 and will obviously be fully supported by the whole team as she undertakes this. Good luck Kelly. We also welcomed Sophie Moon to the team in January 2023.

Due to a lot of personal things going on with staff at the preschool, our typical AGM meeting which was due to be held in October/ November 2023 was unable to happen. We did get around to doing our AGM in January 2024 which was where we discussed events that happened between 2022-2023.
