Chairperson’s introduction and report

LC thanked everyone for taking time out to join Welbourn Wonderbugs Preschool Annual General Meeting and explained how important it is to support preschool.

I’ve held the role of chairperson for the past year, being voted in at last year’s AGM as a parent committee member and it’s been a very interesting time. I’d personally like to thank Sandra and Kelly for being so welcoming onto the committee and more recently Toni, all who’ve for guided me through my learning of Early Years, the support has been fantastic, thank you.

This year has seen some significant changes at preschool, predominantly in the staffing. As I’m sure you’re all aware, Von retired at the end of the last academic year after many years dedicated to Wonderbugs and we wish her all the best in her future endeavours. This vacancy made way for Toni, who joined us in January as an Early Years Practitioner and was successful in the recruitment of a new preschool manager. Toni brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles and has already made some positive changes to the setting.

Sarah is our other new member of staff, joining the team in September as an Early Years Practitioner. She also brings experience from a similar local setting and has found her feet remarkably quickly.

Emily is our qualified SENCo (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) and is responsible for assessing, planning and monitoring the progress of children with special educational needs and disabilities. Please have a chat with Emily if you have any concerns about your child’s development during their time at Wonderbugs.

Jo is our longest serving member of staff at Wonderbugs, having been here for 28 years. Jo holds the post of Deputy Manager and works closely with Toni on the requirements of pre-school.

I’d like to thank the staff. They all work really hard to keep the children safe and the learning fun, they all genuinely care about creating a nurturing environment for the children and I can see this in my 3 year old daughter Olivia, who breezes straight in every morning without looking back, running off to join her friends. She even recently recited all the staff by name; Toni, Jo, Emily and Sarah …announcing she loves them all!

One highlight of this year was the support of our fantastic Colour Run fundraising event back in May, from staff, parents and local villagers. We’d not held an event like this before and despite it being relatively costly to host, we raised a good profit for the preschool. More importantly we saw everyone who came, having a great time, lots of sunshine, fun and laughter. Thank you to everyone who played any part in getting this event to go ahead.

As always fundraising is a vital part of enabling preschool to continue to run. Every little amount raised is a welcome contribution towards buying equipment and funding activities, in addition to paying staff wages and running costs, because as amazing it is to have free hours funded by the government, for the preschool, we receive less money from the government per child, than someone who pays. Therefore, fundraising is important to ensure our costs are covered. This is something which will be discussed at the next committee meeting.

As highlighted in the invitation to this AGM meeting, Welbourn Wonderbugs Preschool is a committee run preschool, which means it

relies on parents to fulfil the majority of roles on the committee to legally remain open.

The current committee now consists of only two parents following resignations from key roles, therefore we are looking for new parents to join the committee. The preschool cannot run if we can’t fill the committee roles so I hope you all can see the benefit of supporting the preschool by joining me on the committee.

Manager’s report

Although I have only been preschool manager for just over a month it has certainly been a busy one, the summer holidays were very busy with big changes being made to our environment both indoor and out including lots of maintenance to the outside areas and new areas being created. We now have an area set aside for a mini forest school- this will be developed over the coming months with Emily and our new Volunteer Sally creating plans as we speak! The fences have been given a new lease of life and a new fence in the back provides more security for our children- we have had lots of lovely feedback from the neighbours about the fence saying it looks great and actually helps to dim the noise a little! The inside area has been given a lick of paint and a lot of furniture was removed with more natural resources added- giving the room a much lighter homely feel.

I have introduced a new curriculum for our children which I feel reflects our ethos more and the staff are enjoying having less paperwork to fill out which is a huge emphasis for OFSTED at the moment- this ensures we have more time with the children and better quality learning is taking place.

Although we lost 13 children to school this year our numbers are looking positive with 3 new starters in September, another 2 due in November and enquiries for January. We are enjoying getting to know our new families and the children are a real asset to our Wonderbugs family. As for staff, Sarah has settled in well and the children already adore her, We also have a new volunteer Sally who is a very experienced practitioner, with qualifications in forest school, level 3 in childcare and education and Makaton signing, she has been in 2 days this week and is already inspiring our team!

This summer we were fortunate to be awarded Co-op Community Champions which will help provide the children with some amazing new resources for a new sensory room and to help towards getting the outside forest area established. We are also in the process of sorting a new vinyl floor to be laid across half of the room, we are aiming for this to be done during half term so we will keep you updated. We have lots planned for our children this year, including visits to the library van and the primary school, I had a meeting just this morning with the primary school to get some dates in our diaries of some collaborative projects! We are also looking at getting a new mini beast pet as this is a huge interest for our children at the moment- this will help to encourage gentle hands too!

Next term will be just as busy as we begin preparing for the festivities, we are hoping to host a stay and play for families with Christmas crafts as well as the usual Christmas traditions of a nativity and carol singing at the care homes. In terms of the staff, we are all taking on

training within speech and language areas as this is a real focus for Lincolnshire at the moment, Emily (our SENCO) is undertaking Welcom training next week which is a speech and language assessment tool which the school and early help workers also use, this as well as lots of exciting training opportunities ensure we are offering our children the best possible start.

Following the Managers report, it was agreed the purchase of a new laptop is necessary as the current computer is not up to the job and is extremely slow. Hopefully a new laptop can be bought in the upcoming Black Friday sale in November.

Treasurer’s report

In an increasingly difficult economic climate with many nurseries and preschool closing weekly I am extremely pleased to report we have ended the year with a 10K pound profit, this is however slightly down on last years profit.

For those of you that were at the AGM last year may remember that there had been a mistake by NKDC meaning we had gone for around 2 years not paying any rent which meant that at the start of our financial year last year I had to pay out quite a large amount (£4000) to clear these arrears.

We have also had a query around the cost of oil that preschool are currently paying NKDC for. This is an ongoing situation. In previous years the cost for oil was split between preschool and NKDC because a member of the council worked in the upstairs building. There had also been an issue about staff not being able to turn the heating down when it didn’t need to be on. SW explained that Merv who used to deal with this type of issue has now retired and his new replacement, Ruth Denton should be able to help with the issue. Ruth was very helpful with the go ahead for the new flooring. SW will send TK Ruth’s contact details so that she can follow up on the issue.

As with every other year wages are our biggest expense with the increase in National Minimum wage has an impact on our wage spend. This is also rumoured to be increasing again in 2024 so no doubt our wage bill will continue to rise. There has been a slight increase in the amount of government funding for the 15/30 hour allocation to children but unfortunately this does not cover the deficit, to help offset this we have had to increase our fees slightly.

We have had another great year of fundraising with two very profitable events, the Christmas gift fair last November raised £295 and of course our very memorable colour run, for which we have to massively thank Ursula and family for their hard work. This event was

quite costly to host and required masses of hard work from Ursula and the committee but did make us £785 profit and more importantly was greatly enjoyed by the whole community and helped raise our profile and that is invaluable. The question is how are we ever going to top it?

We have used the fundraised money wisely, the children have enjoyed sessions with Yoga Jo and Rugby Tots and some new sensory mats were also purchased. We have recently been awarded a grant from the COOP to help improve our outdoor area, that will go forward into the 2023/2024 financial year and any suggestions on the best way to spend that money will be greatly received.

Thank you everyone for making preschool such a success, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working alongside you all as treasurer but since I am no longer a preschool parent you do have my resignation on the table should any parents want to take over my role, if not I would be delighted to stay if you will all have me for another year

Election of the Committee

We welcomed another two new committee members; Felicity Pepperdine and Toni Kerr. SW stood down from her role as secretary. Darren McFaul is the new committee secretary and was nominated by SW and JC. LC was nominated to remain as Chair by TK and UF. KG remained as Treasured and was nominated by FP and JC.

LC told the attendees that 2 committee members had verbally given their resignation from the committee, however they had not put their resignation in writing, and had not attended this meeting. Matt Duke and Becci Duke have not attended previous committee meetings either. The current committee and all other attendees agreed to vote them off at the AGM. The Preschool Constitution was adopted for the next year.

CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation

LC explained the difficulty preschool gave in getting parents and carers to join the committee and every year at the AGM we struggle to recruit the 60% of parents needed to officially run as a committee.

The current committee and also the previous committee have been discussing the possibility of becoming a CIO, this will help with the issue of recruiting enough members at the AGM as you only need a minimum of 3 people to form a committee, and they don’t need to be parents. However, parents need to be on board and agree with preschool becoming a CIO.

KG explained that Sally Gridley who runs Dinky Ones Consultancy would be able to help preschool with the process, there will be a charge incurred for this and it can take several months for the process to take place. Preschool will also need to be inspected again by Ofsted. If we were to go down the CIO route it would also give the manager more control and flexibility in the running of preschool.

TK reported a member of Early Years will be visiting preschool next week to discuss and explain more about becoming a CIO. If we were to go ahead with it, there would be no charge and Early Years will help with the process. TK will report back after the meeting. DMcF said it would be good to do some more analysis around what’s involved and what effect, if any it would have on the children. It was agreed another meeting with all parents will need to be held going forward so the process can be explained to them in more detail.

AOB

SW explained the process of completing DBS’s and EY2’s to new committee members and will email them the information they need to become committee members.

SW referred to the Co-op Community Champions funding preschool received. We can’t apply for it for another 2 years, but it’s definitely worth applying for in 2025. We’ve applied for it twice and have been successful both times.

LC thanked everyone for attending the meeting and for giving up their time. Their support was much appreciated.

Children attending both morning and afternoon sessions will attend from 9am – 3pm.

The Preschool offers 30 hours funded places to 3 and 4 year olds whose parents are eligible. A learning journal is maintained for each child by their key person and parents are encouraged to contribute to this too. Sessions are organised so that the children choose from, and work at, a range of activities and in doing so, build up their ability to select and work through a task to completion. The children are also helped and encouraged to take part in adult-led small and large group activities which introduce them to new experiences and help them to gain new skills, as well as encouraging them to learn to work with others. Outdoor activities contribute to children’s health, their physical development and their understanding of the world around them. The children have the opportunity, and are encouraged to take part in outdoor, child-chosen and adult-led activities, as well as those provided in the indoor playroom.

Section D Achievements and performance

This year saw our fundraising efforts change tactics a bit with two larger Summary of the main events rather than several smaller ones. achievements of the charity A Christmas gift and pamper evening was held in November 2022 and during the year this raised £295. The colour run held in May 2023 was a huge event that took a lot of time and effort to prepare but this paid off with us raising a staggering £785. Despite these successful events and other fundraising amounts from Amazon smile and easy fundraising website we are a little down on fundraised finances this year in comparison to last, however we are still proud of these efforts, and they mean our children can continue to benefit from sessions provided by specialist teachers such as yoga and soccer tots. The money also means we can continually replace tired/broken resources and introduce new ones such as the sensory stepping stones.

The charity continues to hold significant reserves for a charity of its size. Brief statement of the These have been built up over several years and are held for the charity’s policy on reserves following reasons. Firstly, the trustees recognise that the number of children attending the setting can fluctuate and therefore some money is held in reserve to ensure the continued running of the group should there be a period of low numbers.

Secondly, the previous setting in the primary school was initially intended to be temporary and so money was kept in reserve for such a time that new premises was to be sort, in July-Aug 2018 we moved to our new setting at Manor Close with some of the funds being put to good use to ensure the new setting was to the standard required. Finally, it is necessary to hold amounts in reserve to provide for redundancy costs should the Pre-School no longer be able to continue.
