The Chair, Mell Webster opened the meeting by welcoming
those present.
Mell asked that the minutes of the previous meeting on
10/06/2024 be circulated with the agenda, be taken as read
and signed as an accurate record of the meeting.
**Chair’s Report:**
Mell reported that she wasn’t happy at the lack of
information with regards to the extension building work and
refurbishment for the setting. It has now been 2 years from
the LCC contacting us. Carol has reported to me that they
haven’t even responded to her emails either. I feel that
maybe I need to contact them to ask what is happening.
I would like to thank all the staff for all the hard work over the
last 12 months and especially for their work on upgrading
the outdoor area. It is looking lovely.
Mell also thanked the committee for their input and support.|MW|On-going| |2|**Election of Roles**
All elected committee are staying in their current positions.||| ## **Cherry Tots Pre-School** |**Agenda**|**Items**||| |---|---|---|---| |3|**Bookkeepers Report**
Balance on current account £22,068.56
Balance on savings account £41,961.99
New rates of pay agreed by the committee in March were
implemented on 1/4/2025.
Last year was disappointing as the profit was down to
£1097. The reason was due to an increase in wages to
cover the extended opening hours and a decrease in the
funding received from LCC. This year however the accounts
are looking very healthy at the moment.
HSBC have advised that we will need new bank accounts
for the new CIO status. The new mandate will be sent to
Andrea for completion and then returned to HSBC business
department ahead of the virtual meeting between Carol,
Michelle and Andrea with HSBC on 16thJuly 2025.||| ## **Cherry Tots Pre-School** |**Agenda**|**Items**||| |---|---|---|---| |**4**|**Carol’s Report**
23 children currently on the register all are funded.
No safeguarding issues at present.
Update with new classroom refurb and CIO:
I am still awaiting Bev Barker and Juile Grindley to get back
to me with regards the refurbishment of the setting and the
building works.
We have now have the new CIO in place and I have emailed
Ofsted to ask for guidance on how to proceed. I have a
rough idea but just for them to get back to me.
Carol talked about the new outdoor area and how nice it was
looking. We have recycled the old filing cabinet into plants,
painted the shed and replaced the roof. Cut back the hedge
and painted the role play area. we have also started the
work on the roof to under cover area.
We have had some really good feedback from new parents,
so I think it was worth all the hard work.
The Chair congratulated the preschool team for all their hard
work, for their outstanding care of and dedication to the
children and the engagement with the early year’s
framework.|CQ
