WOOTTON PLAYGROUP
Annual Report 2020/2021
We began the year in September under strict government Covid-19 rules and guidance which meant that we had to extend our operating hours to allow children to have staggered start and finish times and restrict the number of children attending so that we could operate safely within 3 ‘bubbles’ with each bubble supported by a staff member.
The extended operating day cost us an additional £11,000 +17% in staffing and the reduction in the number of children saw income from funding fall by £4000 on the previous year.
The committee agreed to award the staff a bonus in July at a total cost of £2,678 to recognise the additional work load that all the guidance caused. This was very gratefully received.
Despite all of the above we still posted a small profit of £1,939.74 – which included a further £2,136.00 placed into our ‘contingency’ fund. So actual profit was £4,075.74.
Our financial reserves now stand at £80,914.28 which includes £26,526.00 that is ‘ring fenced’ for contingency. So ‘working’ reserves are £54,388.28.
Due to Covid-19 it was a very uneventful year. All of our usual events unfortunately had to be cancelled. We did, however, continue to open all throughout the year with no ‘outbreaks’ of coronavirus – which is tribute to the fastidious cleaning and controls that were put in place.
3 members of staff had to isolate during the year due to family members testing positive. Under our agreed staffing policy playgroup continued to pay their full rate during isolation and we were able to claim back Statutory Sick Pay via the government ‘isolation’ scheme – which was £537.66 in total.
We did still run an Easter competition and Tea Towel orders which raised £175.58 in total.
Finally, we said goodbye to Eleanor at the end of the year. Eleanor had been with us for nearly 5 years and we will miss her at playgroup.
And so we look forward to a hopefully less eventful and more ‘normal’ year in 2021/2022 with lots of new children, parents and committee members to welcome.
