Open Meeting:

Welcome everyone to the Stone Cross Independent Pre-School Annual General Meeting. For those that don’t know me, my name is Gaye Nethercot. We really do appreciate parents coming to the AGM here today. As you know we are a voluntary committee run pre-school and to be able to hold the AGM we need a certain number of Parents here. We do have over 10% in attendance as required so thank you again!

To clarify, the details of this AGM will cover the school year 1[st] September 2021 through to 31[st] August 2022.

Minutes:

Can we please agree that the minutes for the AGM held on Friday 24[th] June 2022 and that they are an accurate record and representation?

Please would somebody propose and second that the minutes are an accurate record of last year’s AGM.

The 2022 AGM minutes were proposed as being a true representation of the meeting by Kelly McQuillan and seconded by Amie Beard.

Matters Arising:

None

Chair Report:

Staff Changes

Nursery Unit – None.

Memorial Hall – Jenna Williams went on Maternity Leave January 2022. Lizzie Axell resigned in May 2022. Kerry Noble was promoted to Deputy Supervisor in June 2022. Bank Team – Stacey Gaffney joined February 2022.

Committee Changes

The AGM was held in June 2022 with the election of the Committee and Lizzie Harmer resigned from committee.

School Year September 2021 to August 2022

We started to arrange trips again as in previous years prior to the covid pandemic. Blackberry Farm for the Unit, Eastbourne Beach and Knockhatch for both settings all of which were well attended. Charity events were still limited however we continued to fundraise with

Cyril Squirrel and the Christmas shows. We also received a donation from the pre-school photographer NX Photos.

Thank you to all Parents, Staff and Committee for all your continuing support.

Staff Training

As always the staff undertook a huge amount of training during the year, both in and out of the usual working hours. Since the pandemic essential training continued and were moved online. The face-to-face training events slowly started to return later in this school year. A big thank you to the staff for this continued commitment to the pre-school and children.

Treasurer Report:

A full summary of the Pre-Schools financial situation can be seen on the audit of our accounts. These have been prepared for us by Watson Associates.

Fundraising activities historically have been a major source of income for the Pre-School. We attempt to try and carry out at least one fundraising event per half term. We do thank all of you for your continued support with this.

During this school year we successfully ran the Cyril Squirrel sponsorship, Xmas Shows, some holding deposits were kindly donated when children moved on to primary school, donations received by NX Photos our regular photographer. Figure overall was £1004.08 in total.

Admissions:

The Hall and Unit finished the 2021/22 school year with available sessions filled.

We did not run a Unit Open Day as all sessions were already filled for the 2022/2023 school year from existing children at the Memorial Hall and new names from the waiting lists.

For the Hall admissions were taken on an individual visit basis rather than an Open Afternoon.

The number of enquiries have continued to increase throughout the year for the next few school years.

Election of the New Committee:

All current committee members must formally stand down.

The pre-school committee must have a minimum of 5 members and a maximum of 12 members with a further 3 co-opted members if required. Three of the members are officer posts which are Chair, Treasurer and Secretary.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets
