The academic year 23124 started wilh some concerns regarding the changes" to funding.. from April 24 &12 year olds
would be entitled to the Univers￿ 15 hours funding and eventudly leading to &1 children being entitled to 30 hoijrs
funding by September 2025. As we are only open for 30 hours that would mean eventU￿lY all our children ancj
families would be fully government funded. Wth ihe lundirNJ per child per hour being sei by Centrd and Loc
Government Ihis will be resting times for all settings both charity run and business. Wthout the ability to set your
own lees to cover your expendirure many settings rely on additional ways to InCre￿e income to stay viable. As a
selling we commirted to not introduce any additionJ charges to our families and keep the sessions Free as intend ￿1
the lime we were linancialy viable. As a non profit charity run preschool staying viable for our members is a
necessity however I can confim) that we are continuing to be financi￿lY strong and we won't be needing to add any
'consumable' charges or addition￿ costs to families other than those for Breakfast aub and any additional hours
taken other than ones covered by your govemmeni funding.
2024 was also going to bring another change for Plarform 2. thai of The Academy Trust taking over Manor Field
school and the transfer ol our lease from LA control (o that ol Durrington High Multi Academy Trust IDMATI those of
you that are part of the school will ￿readY know Ihat ihere has been some delay and the transfer has not happed yet.
I'm pleased to say Ihis year we signed anoiher 5 year lease with Ihe school and ihe local authority so we are hoping
for a smooth transltion over once the DMAT do take over.
We sadly said gi)odbye to Hayley this school year who had been a valued member ol plattorm 3 for many years.
Initi￿lY as parent and committee member rhen as a member of staff, not once but twce. we wsh her well on her new
career path in a specialist SEND Sch￿1.

Finance Report
Year Ending 31"August 2023
st
We have just received the financial report foryear ending 31 August 2023.
The finance forthe pre-school is in a healthy position.
The income has significantly come from children funding fees and the
Local authority funding rate rise in April 2024. Also. income from
fundraising.
We have a contingency account with Lloyds that I recommend being
topped up. We are in the process of changing the mandate form with
Lloyds.
We have had the introduction of 2 years Local Authority issued childcare
(income based) and 2-year-old childcare forworking families.
The biggest outgoings are with staff wages. This is accommodating to the
annual staff minimum wage rise and employers pension contributions. As
well as the building rent.
The report from our independent account is available foryou to view.
Kind Regards
Jackie Whistance
Manager
