| 1 | Welcome / Apologies / Introductions The Chair, Mell Webster opened the meeting by welcoming those present. Mell asked that the minutes of the previous meeting on 10/02/2026 becirculated 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 way the LCC has handle the extension building work and refurbishment for the setting. I feel that to cancel it again is heart breaking because of all the hard work that has gone into. 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. |

Agenda Items showed a healthy profit of £12,645, however, this financial year is looking for a lot less profitable, mainly due to an increase in wages. We are also expecting the rent to go up considerably when the council eventually bill us. The transition from Cherry Tots Pre-School to Cherry Tots CIO hasn’t gone very smoothly with HMRC and we are still waiting for confirmation that they have changed our status. I am hopeful that the whole transition will be completed before the end of our financial year on 30/09/2026 which will enable us to close the old bank accounts. Also, ongoing at the moment is a query with West Lindsey district council as to why we are paying two lots of council tax. Andrea to liaise with WLDC to resolve the matter.

| 4 | Carol’s Report 16 children currently on the register all are funded. No safeguarding issues at present. Update with new classroom refurb and CIO: I am still awaiting confirmation of what works will be carried out in the setting due to the LCC taking over the building. 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 has been in and 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. |
