Flockton Pre-school – Report
Financial year April 2024 – March 2025
We have managed to recover from the significant loss from April 2022 to March 2023 and it has taken last year to be able to pull back.
We have just been running our provision from 9.00 am to 3.30 pm from Monday to Thursday and Friday 9.00 am to 12.00 pm as opposed to full wrap around day care.
There have been more children accessing the funded hours and from September through to April 2025 we were finding that more children were accessing the full days, so we have seen an increase in our government funding. We have also seen a slight increase in fee paying children as we have children paying for extra hours and for places prior to them receiving their funding.
Minimum wage and workplace pensions continue to rise, and we are still paying back our bounce back loan from Covid, although we should have paid this by the end of next year.
We have kept our staffing to a basic level but still in ratio to keep expenses in wages, tax and pensions down.
We have also had more expense with staff training as we have had to update some necessary qualifications and we are putting a member of staff through their level 3 qualification.
Some of our parents are paying voluntary snack/consumables charge and this again is helping us to remain sustainable.
Our insurance payments went up significantly this year, but the electricity/water charge was lower, so these outweighed each other.
Early years are struggling in general with the government funding as although it has risen slightly it is still not in line with inflation and we are no exception; the funding most certainly does not meet the cost per hour of caring for a child.
We have again been maintaining parts of our building and making necessary repairs both inside and outside.
We have built an outdoor structure with seating which will enable our children to access outdoors whatever the weather with appropriate shade and cover.
Alongside this we have taken a piece of waste land and developed it to grow our own produce which will help us to be more sustainable and enable our children to learn about the world around them.
We managed to put some of our funding back into our contingency fund after having to drawdown £2500.00 last financial year and we will continue to put money back as and when we can.
