## **St Matthew’s Pre-School** St Matthew’s Parish Centre 71 Station Road Redhill RH1 1DL Tel: 07972 059389 stmatthewspreschool@ymail.com Chairman’s Report to AGM 28th November 2022 2021-22 was a good year for the Pre-School and we managed a year without any lockdowns! We have a strong committee with seven members but have not been able to meet as we have done in previous years. We were unable to hold any of our annual fundraising events this year. We were lucky to be able to go on a trip to Gatton Park, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the children and staff. We used the Facebook group to share videos showing the engaging activities in which the children were involved and messages to families. This is a closed group, and if you haven’t yet asked to join, please do so. We recruited a new member of staff during the year. Claire Woonton joined the team of practitioners and has settled well into the role. Staff have also been supported by Carla Landless who covered for staff absence when needed. All staff had first aid training as well as the annual safeguarding training.This year we bought some new sofas and two new rugs. All staff continue to be paid for every report/ settling in report/ 2 year check and transitional report for each key child. We continue to use the Lloyds bank account so that staff can be paid monthly by BACs, rather than by cheque. We also continue to enroll in a pension scheme, and all staff have the opportunity to join if they wish. Thank you to the staff that worked so hard over the course of a year to provide the children with high quality care and providing them with engaging opportunities to begin their learning journey. I would like to record my thanks to all those on the Committee. I am very grateful to all of them for their support and hard work over the last year. Allison Warner is the staff member on the Committee, and is our link with OFSTED, and I thank her for this added part of her responsibilities. The staff all work very hard to ensure that the Pre-School is a safe environment for your children, and that they are happy and engaged whilst with us. My thanks to them all for this. Finally, my thanks to all of you, the parents, for your support and encouragement for the Pre-School.
