## Allsorts Preschool Chair’s Report 2023 Whilst this will be my first (and only) Chair’s report I have actually been a parent at Allsorts since 2018, and it is with great sadness that I have come to the end of my time within the community with my youngest having now moved on to Primary School. As always, this past year I have been grateful for the preschool staff’s unswerving commitment to providing the highest quality evidence-based early years education. We are incredibly lucky to have such a setting available in our community. As most of you will know Allsorts Preschool is a non-profit making charity and as such fundraising is a vital element of the committee’s activities. Thanks to the support of the parents and wider Allsorts community we have had a successful year of fundraising, with the usual events such as the St John’s Christmas fair and the Poachers Quiz bolstered by some new events such as the enjoyable White Nancy sponsored walk (for which the Coop generously donated snacks for the children) and the Toy Sale. We very grateful for a £500 donation from the Round Table and extremely lucky to receive a grant of £2000 from Tullis Russel for a second year running. Thanks to Beth for putting the hard work in to make the latter happen. In total we have raised just under £3,250. This fundraising has meant the pre school has been able to buy the essential play equipment and resources as shown in this year’s accounts, the larger notable items being a new set of quality waterproofs to allow play outside in any weather and some beautiful new items for the home corner and new kitchen units. Spending was slightly above fundraising income but due to there being some funds left over from last year we have again ended with a positive bank balance. As always, in line with the charity commissions guidelines, we need to keep a few months’ running costs to ensure sustainability in the face of unforeseen difficulties, so we need to keep up the fundraising efforts in the year ahead to continue the positive financial situation. Kathryn and I have discussed her concerns over the low number of children attending thus far in Autumn 2023, which is always a quiet time but perhaps quieter than usual. We feel this can be attributed to changing work patterns, i.e. an increased need for longer childcare hours rather than the academic hours we currently offer or indeed the morning pre-school sessions the Pre School provided for many years. A move to this kind of wrap around childcare setting would mean the pre school would lose focus on its provision of child-led pre-school education, which is where its strengths lie. The committee this year has been myself, Beth Cragg and Kelly Heath. As Kelly and I no longer have children at Allsorts due to their move on to Primary School, we shall be stepping down from the committee. However the fantastic Beth will remain and is looking forward to welcoming two new members to the committee. As I write I am happy to confirm there have been two nominees for the new committee : Rosie Davies and Petra. It has been an honour and privilege to play a small part in the running of the Preschool this year, and I would like to thank the staff for their incredible hard work and dedication to the nurture and care of all the children at Allsorts. Finally thank you to my fellow committee members, Beth and Kelly, for all their hard work, energy, and the fun we have working as a team this year.
