**Annual Trustees Report – Review of Academic Year 2023 - 2024** ## Autumn Term 2023 We began the new academic year with a total of 25 children registered, this included a proportion of both funded and fee paying children. We made the decision to keep our session rates the same for this academic year, in order to remain competitive with other local settings/providers. We had lots of discussions around trying some new fundraising ideas for the year, deciding to try a ‘fashion show’. This event was a success and we managed to fundraise £359.43! During this half term, we managed to fundraise £94.90 by holding a cake sale and a combined total of £401.00 was further raised by holding a xmas raffle, xmas concert and sending out ‘santa letters’. We were also invited to join the annual Scouts xmas fair, running our own stall and further raising £217.40. As well as allowing us to generate some extra funds, the fair was also a great opportunity to further engage with the local community. During this Autumn term we also purchased some new outdoor storage containers, which cost us £332.00. ## Spring term 2024 During the spring term we held a cake sale which generated £117.02, and also held an Easter raffle which amounted to a further £241.00 in fundraising. We held a parent consultation week during the Spring term which worked really well and was well attended. After previous success, we again decided to run play day’s during the half term, in order to increase our community presence and raise some extra funds. After consultation with a number of parents we decided to increase the price charged for these sessions and made £274.80 over the 2 week period. We also welcomed an apprentice to our staff team during this term. ## Summer term 2024 The summer term saw us host our most lucrative fundraising event, our annual sponsored bounce, this generated £682.50. We held a very successful photo morning which we received £53.00 commission for, as well as another cake sale (£122.00) and summer raffle (£219.00). We participated in the local community ‘scarecrow festival’ and again joined forces with the Scouts for their annual summer fair, raising a further £204.55. We finished off the school year with our school leaver’s concert and end of year party for all of the children. We ended the summer term with 38 children registered, 13 of these children were leaving us to join primary school and 3 were leaving to attend school nursery. Our aim for the upcoming academic year is to remain financially viable and continue to have a strong community presence. After a year of much change and adjustment, we aim to continue to become the strongest team we can and to provide the best opportunities and experiences for our children. We ran our play days again during the summer holidays as these had proven to be a great success, not only allowing us to gain some extra fundraising but also provided a fantastic opportunity for further community engagement. ## **FULL YEAR** ## **- 1/8/23 31/7/24** |**Receipts**
