Cobham Community Preschool Annual report It has been another good year at Cobham Community Pre-school. We finished the year with 43 children on roll and said goodbye to 25 children who left to join primary school. Sadly, we said goodbye to our Manager, Alison Scott, who left us in July. Ali50n has been a dominant force In maintaining our excellent reputation locally and will be sorely missed. Kerry Sheppard has a8reed to step up on a temporary basis while we seek 3 permanent replacement and Alison has kindly agreed to aid transition durin8 this proces5. A huge thanks are extended to both. Financially it has been another strange year. We finished the year with a surplus of £2.4k, which given we budgeted for a deficit we were pleased with, Several factors have asslsted in this.. We were able to stsy open during the second COVID lockdown. Although not all chlldren attended, we retained government funding. We also received 'top-up' fundlng to reflett lower numbers attending In Autumn 2020 due to COVID. Fundraising was hi8her than expetted. Although we didn't run any events, we benefited from a local fundraiser followin8 our shed being stolen as well as some Individual fundralsers by families. Thls has contrlbuted, along with insurance proceeds, to a new shed and the new fence surrounding the garden. The next few years could be Interesting financially. Government funding for early years education continues to remain almost statlc. However, our costs do not. We review staff salaries annually to ensure staff are fairly rewarded in line wlth the market. Insurance costs, consumables etc. all continue to increase. We are fortunate that we retain a strong reserves posltion, whlch wlll no doubt see us through the next few years however it is likely to be a hallenging time for Early Year5 providers as a whole with government fundin8 continuin8 to be below par for the sector. cL40d
