WOOTTON PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP

Annual Report 2022 / 2023

We made a profit of £1,842.48 this year – but this was reduced by £5,600 as we paid for Kayleigh and Nicola’s level 3 childcare training in advance. Our actual profit would have been £7,442.48. Despite this we still added to our reserves which now stand at £105,038.00 with £28,349.00 in the contingency fund and £76,689 of working reserves.

We awarded all staff a 10% increase in wages in April – in line with the national increase in minimum wage which increased to £10.42 per hour. This has an annual cost to us of approximately £8,000.

We said goodbye to Vicky and Steph at the end of the spring term. Steph had worked for us for over 20 years and Vicky nearly 15 so it was very sad to see them leave us. However, we were delighted to welcome Kayleigh, Katie and Nicola.

Kayleigh and Katie both have lots of early childcare experience and both Kayleigh and Nicola were previous committee members – with both of their children attending pre-school. In addition Kayleigh has incredible experience of children with additional needs and will be a real asset to the team going forward. Both Kayleigh and Nicola will begin their level 3 childcare qualifications in September with Katie starting the following year.

We took the decision this year to advertise in local publications (Toddle, NN4 Mag and NN4 Pulse). This cost £900 over the year and we did it as we had an un-precedented number of children leaving us at the end of 2022 (30 children). We do need to get better at analysing the impact of the advertising – but we had a lot of children joining our waiting list during the summer term and we will be full again from January 2024.

We were able to organise 2 trips this year, the first at Christmas to The Underground Theatre to watch The Night Before Christmas which the children loved. Our summer trip was to Mini Meadows Far, where we were once again very lucky to have a sunny day for all the activities. Pre-school subsidised both trips at a cost of just under £800 – but these outings are loved by both children and their parents and are an important part of our year.

We were lucky to be awarded £700 from the Parish Council Charitable Fund – this will be spent next year, during October half term, when our two old sheds will be replaced by new ones.

We would like to say thank you to all our parents for supporting us in our numerous fundraising activities during the year, we raised just over £450 on Christmas Tea Towels, Easter activities and 2 raffles.

Finally, we thank the committee for their support over the past year with their help at fundraising events and parties and we look forward to a busy year again.
