The report was written by Vicki Spooner who was Treasurer for the period this report relates to. Preschool income during the academic year 2019/2020 was £77,273.31 and expenditure was £74,576.51 resulting in a surplus of £2696.80.
The preschool employees were successful in securing £3000.00 worth of funding. Without this funding the finances would be in a deficit of £303.20.
A breakdown of expenditure shows that the majority of spending was on staffing accounting for £57,357.69, whilst rent totalled £3984.00, and equipment costs accounted for £1516.40 of spending. Other costs such as payroll fees, utility bills, food and premises upkeep and repairs account for the remaining. Income was split between fees £18,623.96 and funding received £49,126.94. Fundraising amounted to £793.69 and £3000.00 was also secured.
As in previous years staffing costs accounted for the majority of expenditure and the majority of income was from County NEG funding, whilst a significant amount of money was also received from preschool and late club fees for non-funded children. Over the summer the Preschool offered a Holiday Club for four weeks of the summer holidays. This was well subscribed and proved to be a good initiative financially.
The B4 and L8 clubs remain popular and well subscribed. Child numbers have increased from the start of the year. The preschool has a healthy number of children and we are working with staff to further improve the offering we can provide to the local community. The additional funding will allow additional equipment to be purchased to improve the settings offering across age ranges.
As with most other organisations the Preschool was impacted by the lockdowns imposed by the UK Government in response to the Coronavirus. The Preschool was closed in March, April and May 2020. Staff were furloughed and we were successful in claiming a percentage of staffing costs through the government employee retention scheme.
