Section D
Achievements and performance
The year started busy for the both the staff and committee, with
pre-school and both breakfast club and after school club busy with
waiting lists, and with the new 2 year funding due to be implemented in
the April of 2024, the year was only going to get busier! With the roof not
costing as much as initially thought, the Auction of Promises for October
was changed to raising money for a new outdoor classroom. This turned
out to be a huge success, raising £2,500 on the night. A massive thank
you goes to Clare for her hard work especially in making the night run so
well along with the committee for giving their time on the day too.
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
In December we held a Christmas party over at Ashcott school as it was
thought the cohort were too young to do any live singinglnativity and they
had a visit from Father Christmas too, which always goes down well.
In February the new outdoor classroom was delivered and installed over
the February half term. A big thank you goes to all the parents and local
community that helped over the few days. Thank you to you all for your
help in painting The Ball Room and making it such a welcoming space for
the children. The space is a great new addition to the setting and is being
used for lots of group times and learning. We officially opened the Ball
Room at our Easter event, along with some Easter activities and a cake
sale to raise some extra funds. It was agreed we should hold more cake
sales throughout the year as they are always well supported and easy for
us to hold.
In February we welcomed OFSTED back to the setting, we were rated
'Good' and received lots of positive feedback from the Inspector. Thank
you goes to the staff for your professionalism and dedication throughout
the year.
We welcomed Melissa to the Cheeky Chimps team in March, who has
been a great addition to the team and settled in quickly. Our lovely
manager Caroline had to step back from her role at the start or the
Summer Term. Julie and Hannah both agreed to step up to be Manager's
on the days they were in, to cover Caroline's role. A big thank you to
them both for doing this, they have both been brilliant and I know they
have also received great support from the rest of the staff. Caroline has
been hugely missed by the staff, parents and especially the children.
Hannah will be going off on Maternity Leave at the start of the Christmas
holidays and her role of Deputy will be covered by Jo Spencer.
Beerfest was another great fundraising event for us, with £5,000 being
donated to Cheeky Chimps. Thank you to everyone who helped set up or
man the Children's Tent on the day, your help was greatly appreciated.
With regards to grants we also got £3,000 from Clarks for use in our
outside areas, new equipment has been purchased and also some
Forest School lessons booked in for the Autumn tenn.
Our leavers ceremonylsports day was a great success and enjoyed by
everyone that attended. The children loved all the games that we had put
out and the snack bags went down a treat, thank you Jo and Melissa.
We have had some new and very welcomed fa￿S to the last few
commtttee meetings, so hopefully we will have some new members
officially join soon.

Section D
Achievements and performance
It's been a busy but enjoyable year as Chair and as a small committee
we should be really proud of what we have achieved. Thank you to the
committee for all your help and to the amazing staff at Chimps for your
hard work and dedication.
