Welcome to another Agm here at Church Preen Pre school. I
would like to SL8rt with giving my thanks ts) Maria. Gemma and
Marie for their hard work this year. Thanks to you all we have
had another very successful year as Church Preen Pre School
where we have received an Ofsted visit and have been graded as
"Good"
Our preschool is a run by our committee made up of parents.
carers and staff who manage all aspects of the pre school and are
the drlving force behind it all. We meet throughout the year and
our current committee is made up of myself Jess Tearle as Chair,
Meg Purkis with support from Clare Walsal as Treasurer and
Kelly Magil as secretary. As per process all three members will
resign from their roles and all positions must be filled.
We have have continued to rdise money through our fundraisers
such as the popular breakfast with the Easter Bunny and coffee
mornings.
Through our Strong links with the school the children at pre
school have benefited from sessions such as forest school and
sharing lunch times on Mondays. This also really supports
transitions for preschool children into the primary school.
The AGM is our annual fornial meeting of the year where we
cover electing of the roles for chair treasurer and secretary and
receive their reports. Before we continue with those I would like
to take a few moments to extend my thanks and convey my
gratitude for the year past.
-1 would like to state my thanks again to our wonderful members
of staff Mari4 Gemrna and Marie who without we would not be
able to function as a preschool. They work tirelessly ensure all
ch ildren receive the very best experience. Thank you all so very
much.
-I would like to thank all members of the committee. You have
all been so supportive throughout any issues we have
encountered and have contributed your time and efforts into our
fundraisers.
-A special thanks to Abi and Clare who have stepped down as
our chair and treasurer. We are immensely grateful for all your
hard work.

-I would also like to extend my thanks to Shropshire County
Council as without their support we would not be able to
continue. ..
-And lastly I want to express my thanks to Meg and Kelly who
have supported me and the preschool with their roles in the
committee.

At the start of the Autumn term 2023 we had 8 children on register
which grew to 11 over the academic year. Over the last year we have
covered many topics and enjoyed sessions in the Primary school's
Forest school area. We have been on trips to Attingham Park in the
Autumn term and enjoyed crunching through leaves looking at the
pumpkin displays and jumping in muddy puddles. In the Summer term
we went to Home Farm Attingham. Parents were invited and rt was a
nice day feeding animals. playing in the park and enjoying spending
time together.
We celebrated Christmas with our usual Nativty play, school
Christmas dinner and Christmas party with a visit from Father:.
Christmas.
The Spring term brought new challenges when Marie went on long
term sick leave, luckily Jemma was able to step in at short notice and
cover her sessions, which meant that the children had continuation of
care and Preschool was able to continue to run smoothty. l am
extremely grateful for Jemma for taking over some of Marie's role as
well as her own which has made my working life much easier.
We have attended various training sessions throughout the year but
the most beneficial was the Experts and Mentors programme we took
part in that was accessed through the department of education and
entailed us having visits from a Mentors and Expert, who visited our
setting looked at our environment the way we followed our statutory
guidelines and how our children accessed learning. We were able to
ask for specrfic help for us to prepare for OFSTED, which did prove
to be very beneficial when we had the dreaded visit, which came in
the summer term. Jemma also accessed online modules that helped
us to assess our practice and update us on new ideas on how we
could improve our children's experience at Preschool.

As mentioned previously in the Summer term we had our long awaited 'w:'
visit from Ofsted. Our inspector was called Anne Dyoss and she was
in the setting for the morning.she was fair and very thorough in her
questioning and the experience was positive for both myself and ,
Jemma and we were able to maintain our rating of good .
At the end of the Summer term we enjoyed our leavers party ,
graduation and fun morning. We said goodbye to 4 children and
wished them all the best in their new schools.
I would like to say a thank you to members of staff, especially Jemma
for their hard work over the last academic year and to the committee
members who have continued to help and support us. .
