The Chairperson of the Walton under Fives Toddler and Pre-School Group presents the following report on behalf of the committee.
Structure Governance and Management
We adopt the Pre-School Learning Alliance Constitution 2011. (Updated at our AGM in January 2020)
The Pre-school is committee/trustee led. The Trustee appointments are reviewed annually at the AGM. Committee members/trustees are past and present parents of children who attend the Pre-school. It has been agreed that our AGM date will change from January to September/October so that it will fit in more with the academic year.
The committee appoint a Pre-School Manager, Deputy Manager and 4 early years’ practitioners who staff the day to day running of the pre-school. All our staff our qualified to NVQ3 level apart from one who is NVQ2 trained. Two of our staff members have left, one of them being an Early Years Practioner and the other our Preschool Manager. Fortunately, we have hired a new manager who has a wealth of experience and we will be starting our new academic year with her leading our team.
Training for the committee/trustee members is provided by Somerset County Council and other outside agencies e.g. Fire Service and British Red Cross. We are inspected by Ofsted every four years and meet the code of practice as set out by the Council. Our most recent inspection by Ofsted was in 2017 and we received a ‘Good’ rating, getting an ‘Outstanding’ in Personal Development, Behaviour and Welfare, which we are extremely pleased with. We are working hard to maintain this standard and build upon it.
The Pre-School is situated in Walton Village Hall; this helps to keep us at the centre of the community. We extend our thanks to the Walton Village Hall Trust for their continued support of the Pre-School. Risk assessments of the building and activities fall in line with our Ofsted requirements.
Financial Report
See attached sheet
As with many organisations this year has been hard with the COVID-19 outbreak. This has meant many of our planned fundraising events have unfortunately not gone ahead due to the lockdown restrictions and being able to implement the social distancing rules safely.
We did manage to hold a disco, a cake sale and our annual nativity with a raffle before lockdown restrictions were implemented. Our money had been initially aimed to improve our current materials and facilities but with some predicted financial hardships we decided it best to ensure the accounts stable.
We were lucky enough to receive a large donation of £10,000 from a generous local resident which was a very welcome surprise and helped us with our finances.
We had got printed a couple of large banners to use for advertising in the local area. Funds as a custodian – N/A
Objectives and activities
As previously stated
Achievements and performance
We continued to offer the same services Monday to Friday up until the COVID-19 outbreak and have decided to reopen in the September 2020, as it was not viable to open up during the lockdown period.
We anticipate continued success with the Pre-School in the coming year, remaining popular in the local area and the staff and committee strive to provide a wide range of learning materials and experiences.
The Pre-School has great links with the local community and the neighbouring Primary School, with most of this year’s leavers moving on to Walton Primary School.
