BRAYTON BUSY BEES PRE-SCHOOL

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Structure, governance and management

The charity's governing document is the New Pre-School Learning Alliance Pre-School Constitution 2011. Our trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) or at a general committee meeting if necessary, during the year, by the membership of the pre-school.

Brayton Busy Bees is registered with Ofsted (registration no 400459) and is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance.

Busy Bees has a childcare protection policy in place, which includes carrying out Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks for new and existing members of staff and the committee. These checks are carried out every three years.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or benefits.

The pre-school works in partnership with Brayton Methodist Church, from whom it rents the rooms in which it provides Early Years Education and Childcare.

Financial Review

The total income for the year was £108,302 (2021: £100,343) and the total payments for the year was £104,684 (2021: £101,808) which gave a net surplus for the year £3,618 (2021: net deficit £1,465).

Reserves policy

The current level of free reserves is £63,082 (2021: £60,202). The charity’s reserves are retained to enable it to meet any liabilities should the nursery close. This would also provide flexibility should additional staff be taken on during the financial year. It is proposed that this policy be reviewed annually following the financial end of year.

Objectives and activities

Brayton Busy Bees Pre-School aims to enhance the development and education of preschool children in such a way as the trustees think fit by:

• offering high quality play, education and care facilities

• working with parents and carers to ensure the children have access to a wide range of high quality learning activities and resources;

• instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Pre-School Learning Alliance.

Brayton Busy Bees is a small, friendly, parent managed pre-school providing a varied, interesting and informative early learning education for children between the age of two and five years. The pre-school accommodates 20 children in the morning and 20 children in the afternoon.

Brayton Busy Bees employs 6 staff members (Manager, Deputy and Practitioners). One staff member is Level 4 qualified and the other five are Level 3 childcare certificate. All staff members continue their professional development in many ways including Safeguarding, Autism Training and Senco. All staff refreshed their Paediatric First Aid Certificate in May 2021.

We also welcome work placement students and work closely with Selby College. This year we were able to give placement to two students studying childcare.

We welcome all children within the age range regardless of personal circumstances, gender, faith, cultural background and lingual ability.

BRAYTON BUSY BEES PRE-SCHOOL

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 (Continued)

As trustees we are confident that we have compiled with the duty under section 17(5) of the Charities Act and Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. Trustees have referred to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on Public benefit. Our pre-school has been educating children and benefitting the community for over thirty years. Providing childcare from 2 years to school age means we teach children important social skills which will take them into school and beyond. We work with all local primary schools to enable smooth transitions.

Achievements and performance

Brayton Busy Bees has had another successful year. We have provided childcare to 38 families from Brayton and the surrounding areas.

We have continued to build and work hard to enhance the children’s learning and development, providing enticing activities both inside and outside.

This year, we again embraced outdoor play and enhanced the garden with new gardening equipment purchased from a grant received by Brayton Parish Council. We were able to grow potatoes, beetroot, onions & flowers. We were able to sell these to parents to enable us to purchase more seeds for next year.

We organised a bus trip to Temple Newsam Farm. Busy Bees used EYPP monies to subsidise the trip for families, the trip was great to build parent/staff relationships. We had an outside visit from a local farmer who adopts lambs. The lambs came to visit the children at busy bees. In the winter months we had visit from Little Messys Football Group, where the children were able to learn some basic football skills.

Fundraising this year was by way of raffles, a sponsored scavenger hunt and sponsored read. We did find that the local business was unable to support us as in previous years so had to rely on the goodwill of parents for raffle prizes.

We held several events for parents to attend including a harvest festival, where our parents’ donated food for Selby bank. This was hosted by the Methodist church. The children performed a pantomime for the parents at Christmas and we also had a Christingle Service.

We had a Mother’s Day morning, Father’s Day morning, a Queen’s jubilee party and a leavers ceremony / end of the year party. All were well attended and supported by parents.

We had an open day in June, for prospective parents and children. This was well received, and our session list / waiting list is healthy.

In March, we stated a Baby and Toddler group named “Bumble Bees”. Our research showed that Brayton is a growing village but does not have anywhere where parents and children can meet. We felt that the community needed a place where children can play and interact, and parents can meet other parents to support their health and welling (Especially after Covid).

The community centre was free and was a perfect space to have the group. We were successful in gaining a NYCC Early Help Get Going Grant for £1,000. We used the monies to purchase baby equipment. The group meets at the community centre on Tuesday mornings, term time only. A nominal fee is charged, £3 per family, to cover renting the community centre. The Group has been successful with on average 20 families each week attending. The group has been supported by Tesco and Morrisons Community Champions who help out with snack donations.
