## White Road Preschool Tracey Taylor - Supervisor White Road Community Centre, Keyes Avenue, Chatham Kent ME4 5UN Tel: 01634 401961 Email: whiteroadpreschool@gmail.com ## **- Trustees Annual Report September 2024 August 2025** ## **Charity Number: 1044832** ## **– Chairperson Angela Dawkins** **White Road Preschool is a mixed age provision offering free-flow teaching and learning, combining the benefits of both the outside and inside environment for holistic learning. White Road Preschool and Committee, continue to run and uphold our community focused, longstanding provision, to the provide care and education for children aged 2 -5years with a vision to “Build outstanding futures for children in our community” and aim for all of our children to develop a life time love of learning. It is imperative that we maintain and enhance the service that we provide to extend the reach of opportunity to all, especially those that sit within the remit of the area of deprivation that we reside. We have been fortunate to maintain another cohort of children which has seen our provision full to capacity for the whole year and a full staffing team to support this; in February after many years of loyal service, we saw our Deputy Supervisor Julie take her retirement.** **Our provision is governed by Ofsted and was inspected in December 2021, graded as “Good” in all areas. This evidences consistency across the board in the delivery of both care and education. Ofsted reports that the children are fully engrossed in their chosen play and supported successfully by highly qualified adults. Children have a strong sense of well-being and staff celebrate children’s achievements, which reflects our focus on the child centred approach, keeping their individual development and welfare at the heart of our practice. Consultations with parents and our supporting colleagues from the Medway Early Years Team continues to model our improvements throughout the year. We remain working to full capacity and have a waiting list, which reinforces that the provision is Good and our reach into the community is successful with the allocation of pupil premium funding increasing for our most vulnerable families. With consistent staffing the community feels confident in knowing and trusting the staff that care for their children. Our ability to retain our staff team year-in-year-out, supports this consistency and gives us confidence in that the community knows us well. Angela Dawkins continues to chair our committee and is onsite every day to oversee the management of the preschool and provide support, which embraces our community centred approach.** **This year we have once again renewed our investment in to the enhanced project of Medway Early Years Ltd, they continue to provide us with training opportunities and advice to ensure we are meeting the legal and expected requirements of the provision including safe-guarding, first aid and staff development, as well as providing a way to link us to the wider sector of Early Years within Medway to enable us to work holistically and collaboratively. We have made full use of this offer and have attended a variety of training programmes this year, one member of staff has now completed her level 3 qualification and our newest staff member has now enrolled for the upcoming year to achieve her level three qualification also; through the company Parenta. We have also accessed external training from the Kent and Beyond trust as well as Nasen, which has supported continued SEND development and emotional well-being knowledge.** **Our income is provided by the government/Medway Council via funding claims authorised by the entitled families that attend the setting. We continue to see an increase in uptake of children offered the working parents 30 hours scheme, which has helped more of our parents and carers feel able to begin full time employment. We have also seen the extension of 15 hours for two-year-old working parents since April, which has seen some positive uptake. These offers have broadened our reach to further families within our local area, positively supporting our consistent intake and enabling more parents to return to work. With the 30 hours funding set to increase its reach further to children from 9 months, we expect to see a higher uptake of full time 2 year old places in the upcoming year.** **The money for this financial period has been spent on Wages, Tax, Equipment, Administration supplies, Rent and Consumables – (Snack for the children as set out as a national requirement as well as significant celebration events.) As well as this we invested a large amount of money for a new boundary fence to protect the pupils from the public as well as provide extra shielding from the weather.** **Pupil premium income has enabled us to once again fund our trips to the theatre, farm and the zoo with the addition of pumpkin picking at a local orchard, this enhances the children’s experiences of the world and provides opportunities they may not otherwise get in such a deprived area. This year we ventured to Wingham Wildlife Park instead of Howletts and Maidstone theatre instead of Chatham, which were extremely well received and will be planned in to next years plans also. Throughout the year we also enhance provisions by introducing new provocations for learning to support the interests of the cohort of children of the time, which ensures engagement levels are optimised.** **Our plans for the future year are to strengthen our senior leadership team with tailored training and support to reflect on our practice and make improvements to continue to work towards achieving an Strong Ofsted rating across the board, curating and developing our curriculum to suit the changing needs of our cohort, working alongside Medway Early Years Ltd, drawing on their professional experience and guidance.** **Mrs Samantha Hatton, Trustee** **White Road Preschool** ## **- Annual Accounts September 2024 August 2025** |**Month**|**September **|**October**|**November**|**December**|**January**|**February**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |||||||| |**Income**||||||| |Funding|£23,685.90|£25,053.00|£26,297.30|£21,459.79|£21,459.79|£27,103.86| |External funding/fees||||||| |||||||| |**Total**|**£23,685.90**|**£25,053.00**|**£26,297.30 **|**£21,459.79 **|**£21,459.79 **|**£27,103.86**| |||||||| |||||||| |**Outgoings**||||||| |Consumables|£1,896.19|£2,474.93|£4,055.67|£5,353.68|£1,298.92|£1,297.21| |Admin|£1,561.80|£811.98|£893.36|£15.65|£662.97|£236.46| |*Other|£2,584.54|£1,825.00|£5,141.70|£2,212.00|£1,961.51|£270.00| |Rent|£0.00|£1,911.96|£2,027.83|£0.00|£1,738.14|£0.00| |Equip|£3,284.74|£2,251.42|£2,165.39|£217.60|£2,909.76|£932.66| |Wages|£14,041.91|£14,818.12|£15,067.92|£17,539.21|£16,565.43|£15,299.52| |Tax|£5,685.48|£2,495.51|£2,501.92|£4,210.77|£2,581.66|£2,723.54| |||||||| |**Total**|**£29,054.66**|**£26,588.92**|**£31,853.79 **|**£29,548.91 **|**£27,718.39 **|**£20,759.39**| *other is defined as expenditures such as external training, Early years support service etc **6/29/2026** **Charity Number: 1044832** |**March**|**April**|**May**|**June**|**July**|**August**||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||||||| ||||||||| |£12,431.48|£23,653.80|£23,653.80|£23,653.80|£31,674.50|£34,028.87||| ||||||||| ||||||||| |**£12,431.48 **|**£23,653.80 **|**£23,653.80 **|**£23,653.80**|**£31,674.50**|**£34,028.87**|**TOTAL**|**£294,155.89**| ||||||||| ||||||||| ||||||||| |£321.05|£368.60|£1,179.54|£754.22|£1,142.87|£463.32||| |£315.00|£3,203.54|£404.88|£88.26|£130.58|£60.46||| |£231.00|£1,030.00|£350.71|£536.01|£1,735.71|£608.49||| |£1,738.14|£0.00|£1,439.21|£0.00|£2,255.67|£0.00||| |£585.23|£536.00|£1,637.65|£2,069.28|£1,681.94|£882.73||| |£13,917.88|£13,917.88|£15,497.82|£13,596.09|£33,070.64|£0.00||| |£2,374.41|£0.00|£3,132.59|£1,600.54|£3,869.66|£0.00||| ||||||||| |**£19,482.71 **|**£19,056.02 **|**£23,642.40 **|**£18,644.40**|**£43,887.07**|**£2,015.00**|**TOTAL**|**£292,251.66**| **Annual Accounts September 2021 - AugustWhite Road Preschool** **Charity Number: 1044832** |**Month**|**Septembe**|**rOctober**|**November**|**December**|**January**|**February **|**March**|**April**|**May**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||||||||| |**Income**|||||||||| |Funding|###|###|###|£2,160.06|###|###|###|£69.45|###| |External fu|nding/fees||£297.79||||£6,252.40||£67.50| ||||||||||| ||||||||||| |**Total**|**###**|**£15.223.7**|**4**
