Mudeford Wood Playgroup Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 August 2023

2022 to 2023 was another successful year at the pre-school with lots of local families sending their young people to us at the centre. With a great staff team at pre-school, we were able to provide a full programme of activities throughout the year to help benefit the young people at our setting.

The events we ran this year included our Easter fayre, a Macmillian Coffee morning, as well as running all our seasonal projects around Chinese new year, Autumn and Christmas. Our young people have all really benefitted from ‘Ready Steady School’ and the feedback we received from the schools they all go on to attend shows us that this is a valuable part of the work we do. Many of the young people develop and harness the skills needed to help them when they start school.

Later on in the year we welcomed two new staff members to the team, Michelle and Katy, who both came with lots of experience and knowledge and were a welcome addition to the team.

In January 2023 we asked parents to take part in a survey to find out their views on the setting and to make sure we were meeting all our obligations. We were really pleased with the feedback we received and the response from parents was really positive and helped us in planning for the future. Following on from feedback we introduced a new start time of 9am at the pre-school (from 9.15) to help parents who are dropping older children off elsewhere first.

The ongoing we challenges we face at the pre-school are in relation to space and our relationship with the Trust and the high rent we pay. As a pre-school we would love to be able to expand (as we are running at full capacity) and offer more facilities, especially a larger outdoor area. These challenges are something the committee is always actively looking at options for behind the scenes.

I would like to thank our amazing staff team who do a brilliant job every day to make sure the young people at our setting continue to thrive, as well as a special thank you to our volunteer committee members who help us shape the work we do & make sure the parents view is always considered.

Thank you to all the families who chose to send your young people to our pre-school and we look forward to continue to grow as a setting and inspire our next generation of young people in the local area.

Felicity Portor, Chair of Trustees, on behalf of the Management Committee

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
