Jellytots Playgroup 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 personal and social skills that they will need to make a successful transition from playgroup to school.

The playgroup is open 5 days a week for 38 weeks in term time and offers 10 sessions: 5 morning and 5 afternoon both of 3 hours’ duration. We aim to keep each session to a . maximum of 16 children with 3 staff present at all times, to ensure a good staff/child ratio. —

In September 2024 the figure B/F was £8153.97, with another £31483.89 inthe Saver Account, to be used if necessary.

Fees for unfunded children were increased to £15.60 per session to cover costs and keep them the same as the local 3 and 4-year-old funded rate of £15.60 (£5.20 per hour). New working families funding meant that we were now able to claim funding for eligible children at a higher rate of £7.66 per hour. Children eligible for Nursery Funding but not claiming it with us were charged at the lower unfunded rate. While we do not provide daily snacks, we have an annual charge for occasional food preparation and tasting activities during the year, plus other consumables. This was changed to £10 per term from September.

Nursery funding rose to £5.57/hour from April. The Early Years Pupil Premium claims were again submitted. 9 children were eligible. 4 children received 30-hours funding.

We continued the policy of offering temporary extra sessions to fill vacancies until they were taken up by other registered children. There was no take-up this year. ;

)

In April a pay rise of over 6.73% was given for four staff roles to keep them at or above the legally required National Living Wage. A pay rise of 3% was given for the other three staff roles. : _ , i

The two Santander bank accounts continued to operate smoothly. The interest rate remained at 0% on the Business Current Account. Interest on the Business Everyday Saver Account started the year at 1% in September 2024. It ended the year in August ~ 2025 still as 1%. Money was transferred from the Current to the Saver Account to maintain the required redundancy balance. . The NEST pension scheme continued to operate smoothly. Contribution rates remained at 3% for employers and 5% for employees throughout 2024/25, = a

The Fundraising Committee had a successful year, raising £1979.72 net of costs. The larger purchases from the funds were: a repaired shed roof, visiting animal experiences, outdoor equipment, pretend play toys, and a subsidy to the annual trip to make it ; accessible to all.

Jellytots Playgroup ended the year with a balance of £9573.39 in the current account, and £35317.26 in a saver account, which is topped up annually to cover increasing redundancy payments in case of future closure of the playgroup. . The Committee has aimed to provide the highest quality childcare within our playgroup. With the exceptional work of the staff and the friendly environment we believe we have _ achieved this. . Bo an
