Annual General Meeting.
A separate Fundraising Committee was headed by,.

Jellytots Play8roup provides a safe and friendly environment for children of pre-school
age to come to learn and play under the constant supervision of qualified staff. It is the aim
of Jellytots to equip each child with the per80nal and so¢ial skills that they WAII need to
make a successful transition t'rom playgroup to ￿h0O1.
The playgroup is open 5 days a week for 38 weeks in terni time and offers l 0 sessions., 5
morning and 5 &fternoon both of 3 hours, duration, We aim to keep each sesgion to a
maximum of16 children with 3 staff present at all times, to ensure a good staffl¢hild ratio.
In September 2023 the figure BIF was £6775,03, with another £30166.19 in the Saver
Accoiinl to be used if necessary.
Fees for unfvnded children were increased to £13.60 per session to cover costs and keep
them close to th¢ local funded rate of £13,02, boosted by a Governinent supplement to
£13.95 from September to March. Children eligtbl¢ for Nursery Funding but not claiming
it with us will be charged at the unfunded rate, While we do not provide daily snack& we
have an annual ohw'ge for oc¢asional food pr¢paration and tasting activities during the
year, plus other consumables. This was increased to £25 per child from Septemb¢r.
Nursery funding rose to £5.201hour from April. The Early Years Pupil Premium Claims
were again submitted. 2 children were eligible. 4 children received 30-hours funding.
We continued the policy of offering temporary extra sessions to fill vawicies until they
wer¢ taken up by other registered childr¢n. Take-up was again very low this year.
In September 2023 a pay rise of SQ/0 was given for three staff roles. In April a pay ris¢ of
over 90/0 was given for four staff roles to keep them at or above the legally required
National Living Wage. A further pay review followed in June, which resulted in an I 10/0
rise for three staff roles being agr¢ed by the Committee.

The two Santander bank accounts continued to operate smoothly. The interest rate
remained at 00/0 on the Busin¢ss Curr¢nt Account. Ittter¢st on the Business Ev¢ryday
Saver Account started the year at 1,040/0 in September 2023. It ended the year in August
2024 still on 1.040/0.
The NEST pension s¢hem¢ continued to operate smoothly. Contribution rates remained at
30/0 for employers and 5 % for employees throughout 2023124.
The Fundraising Committee had a successful year, raising £2578,29 net of costs. The
larger purchases from the funds were.. a greenhouse, visiting animal and literary
experiences, a gazebo, a digger, dressing-up clothes, and a subsidy to the annual trip to.
make it accessibl¢ to all.
Jellytots PlayBroup ended the year with a balance of £8153.97 in the Gurrent accouiit, and
£31483. 89 in a saver account, which is topped up annually to cover Ancreasing redundancy
payments in ¢ase of future closure of th¢ playgroup.
The Committee has aimed to provide the highest quality child¢are within our playgroup.
With the exceptional work ot'the staff and the friendly environment we believe we have
achieved this.
