## **WOOTTON PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP** 

## **Annual Report 2023 / 2024** 

We made a profit of £6,287.52 this year, and added to our reserves which now stand at £112,171.33 with £28,970.00 in the contingency fund and £83,201.33 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 £11.44 per hour.  This has an annual cost to us of approximately £8,000.  In addition, we had a cost of approximately £2000 covering Julie’s absence whilst she was looking after her parents. 

We had no changes to staffing this year.  Both Kayleigh and Nicola began their level 3 childcare qualifications in September. 

We started the year with an unusually high level of children as we had over 20 returning from the previous year – this had a positive impact on our profit for the Autumn term and we were full from January 2024. 

We were able to organise 2 trips this year, the first to Mini Meadows for the Christmas Experience which the children loved and our summer trip to Mini Meadows.  Pre-school subsidised both trips at a cost of just over £650 – 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 a further £500 from the Parish Council Charitable Fund – this was spent on replacing some of old bikes and scooters. 

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 £800 on Christmas Tea Towels, Easter activities, cook books, the spring fayre and 2 raffles.  The raffles were particularly successful this year, raising £364 in total. 

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.
