## **LITTLE LEAVES PRE-SCHOOL - ANNUAL MEETING - 11[th] JUNE 2025**
## Interim Chairman’s message
It is with a sense of pride and pleasure that once again I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the wonderful team at Little Leaves and for everything they have done for the children.
My thanks to Jo as Setting Manager and to Jamie as her deputy for all their hard work and enthusiasm in making sure we offer our children the best experience and fun during their time with us.
Many thanks to Charmaine who has worked very hard with the SENCO role, as well as looking after our administration needs, keeping us on track.
The wonderful team who look after the children every day are amazing, we are so lucky to have such dedicated members of staff. We are very grateful for all their hard work and enthusiasm! Our thanks to Charlotte B, Grace, Charlotte G, Gemma, Gill and Melanie, and also to Gemma S and Zoe who have kindly been our brilliant “bank” team members.
It has been lovely to welcome Melanie back into the setting, she and her family are very much in our thoughts and I am grateful to the staff for all the care and kindness they have shown the family.
The Pre-school has to constitutionally be run by a committee and we are very lucky to have a small but wonderful group of people who are dedicated to doing what we can for the pre-school.
As well as myself as the interim Chairman we have Laura Manston as Secretary, John Kelly as Treasurer and Ashley, Nikki, Lauren, Zara and Sophie as Committee members. We also have Melanie and Grace who sit on the committee and are members of the pre-school team. Jo as Setting Manager and Charmaine as Administration Officer are also invited to Committee Meetings. Our thanks to them all for everything they do, especially to our Secretary Laura, who sadly is stepping down from her role after this AGM. We are very grateful for all her hard work on our behalf and we are going to miss her.
Our Financial Accounts are beautifully looked after by Jan Parsons and her team at NP Associates and we are very grateful to Jan, Thelma and Andrea for all the work they do for us.
Our plans to change the status of the Pre-School to that of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) are still there in the background and is something to be addressed if the present committee feel we should progress the idea further.
We still need to find willing volunteers to take over the Chair of the pre-school committee and the Secretary role. Please have a think about these positions, I would be happy to have a chat with anyone to discuss what is involved on a no-obligation basis. Likewise if you can think of anyone outside of the setting who might be interested then they would be very welcome to find out more.
Our thanks to all parents and carers who send their children to Little Leaves, we do hope that they find their stay with us is an enjoyable experience and helps prepare the children for the exciting move to Primary school.
Thank you all for your support, it is very much appreciated.
