WOOTTON PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP

Annual Report 2024 / 2025

We made a loss of -£9,058.58 this year which is the first time in 18 years that playgroup has not added to our reserves.

There were many reasons for this tough year:

We only had 8 children returning from the previous year which is half the usual amount. This had a negative impact on out Autumn figures as we steadily welcomed our new children. Autumn loss was -£4,996.37 compared to a profit of £4,368.67 the previous year.
Minimum wage increased again by 6.7% which added just under £6,000 to our wage bill.
Employers National Insurance increase to 15% from April cost us £1,000 this year as the employer allowance was still capped at £3,000. This us the 1[st] time we have paid NI since the employer allowance was introduced in 2014.
We lost a few children for various reasons during the year and were unable to fill the spaces they left.

However, due to our prudence in previous years, despite this loss, our reserves stand at just over £102,000 which includes a contingency allowance of £26,884.

Katie left us in October of this year and we employed Neya on a one-year contract. Neya was loved by the children and it was sad to let her leave in July – but this reduction in staffing for the coming year will save us over £6,000.

We were able to organise our usual summer trip to West Lodge which the children loved at a cost of £403 to playgroup.

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 under £800 on Christmas Tea Towels, Easter activities, cookbooks, the spring fayre, graduation photo’s and the summer raffle.

We would like to thank the committee for their support over the past year with their help at fundraising events and parties and we look forward to another busy, and more financially successful, year.

Finally, we celebrated Julie’s 25 years as Manager at pre-school in July – an amazing achievement and we are incredibly lucky to have her as our Manager.
