Chairperson Annual Report

Since the academic year of 2021/2022 which ended with a financial loss of just under £14,000.00, we have worked to recover the PreSchool and make it more financially stable. 2022/2023 ended with a profit of £11,492.78, followed by £7,155.95 profit for 2023/2024 and this year a £24,876.93 profit has been achieved, although a significant amount of this is connected to income from Pupil Premium and the Disability Access Fund which will be spent during the 2025/2026 academic year.

This year, we have again ensured that expenditure was kept to an absolute minimum within the setting. Fundraising and grant applications were the main focus, but unfortunately, we were only in receipt of one grant from the Scargill’s Educational Foundation for £185.00. Additional applications haven’t been progressed, causing us to lose out on valuable income. Grant applications must be a priority for the newly formed Committee in the next academic year.

The demand on our staffing team has remained, as we continued to work closer to ratio, although we have continued to allow paperwork time in the setting, the staff have had to accept that the level of funding is just not there to allow over-staffing.

We must remember that we continue to be a successful Pre-School, our number of children on role is high and there is a steady stream of interest from new parents and carers. We are good at what we do and our hard work and dedication has allowed us to be in a more financially secure situation, hopefully preventing the closure of a setting that has so much more to offer.

We are going to have to continue to cut back on our expenditure and ask for understanding from our staff, as we maintain working closer to ratio entering the new academic year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for their hard work and commitment to the Pre-School.

I have given below further information in the various areas of the Pre-School.

Finances

The Pre-School financial year runs from 1[st] September – 31[st] August.

Voucher Funding from Derbyshire County Council for this 20242025 period totalled £179,030.14 and fees from younger children and those not in receipt of funding totalled £24,508.00. We

received £102.00 Inclusion funding this year, along with £7,121.55 made up of Disability Access Funding and Pupil Premium.

This type of additional funding enables our staff to give direct support to qualifying children with additional needs in our care. Unfortunately, it is sometimes still necessary for us to give this support without funding in place and the costs have to be absorbed by us to allow us to meet the individual needs of the children in our care.

In the 2023-2024 academic year, DCC funding was £121,834.50 which is quite a bit lower than the above amount. We are seeing the benefit from the increased funding rates accessible in the lower age groups. The number of children attending our setting this year has also been positive.

The Pre-School ended the academic year of 2024 – 2025 with a £24,876.93 profit, which was well received. We are in a much more financially secure position, but must still work towards growing our reserves and continue to remain financially cautious over the coming months.

It is still clear to see that the Early Years funding that settings receive is not sufficient to allow slight over staffing or provide staff with the level of salary they deserve for the work load they have to complete.

We increased our session fees by £3.00, to £18.00 in April 2024. This increase was necessary to reduce the impact of the legal rise in the National Minimum Wage. Although the National Minimum Wage rose again in 2025, we decided to keep our sessions fees at £18.00 for fear of being priced out of the market. This will be reviewed during the next academic year.

We will continue to ensure that spending in the financial year 2025/2026 is closely monitored and fundraising and grant applications are made a priority.

Annual General Meeting

The last Annual General Meeting was held on Monday 7[th] October 2024. Minutes are available in Pre-School.

Sessions

Our sessions at the start of this year were busy and continued to rise over the year.

Policies

Our Policies are due to be significantly updated over the 2025/2026 academic year.

There have been many changes to current policies and a requirement to have new topics covered. It was therefore decided not to review the policies this year as standard but wait for the information required to produce a new set of policies, ensuring we comply in all areas.

We will continue to ensure that all new staff and Committee receive a memory stick containing all policies currently in place that must be read and understood. Each member of the team must complete this, returning a signed form to confirm, along with any amendments they have noticed. Any amendments will be discussed and adopted by the Committee, with significant changes communicated to parents and carers. This will definitely be the case when our new policies come into effect.

We have reviewed the Risk Assessment file, along with COSHH and continued to complete regular area Health and Safety inspections.

Training

The amount spent on staff training this year has been high again compared to previous years, at £1,754.60.

This has been made up of two sets of First Aid Training for eight staff at a combined cost of £779.60.

We also carried out three full staff team training sessions this academic year. Safeguarding at a cost of £525.00, Equal Opportunities at £200.00 and Down’s Syndrome Training, to help us support a child currently in our setting, at £250.00.

Derbyshire County Council continue to reiterate that we must ensure all training is relevant and from a recognised source. It must be recorded and progressed. Training can make an impact on the Pre-School’s budget but is something that we must do. All staff are encouraged to speak to the Committee if they wish to attend any additional courses which they feel will enhance their work at Pre-School, although we may not always be able to meet these costs.

Staff

The Committee would like to thank all the staff for their hard work and commitment over the year. We also wish to thank the relief

staff for their continued involvement and hard work which is much appreciated.

Samantha Marshall, our Manager, with the support of her team, continues to ensure the Pre-School strives to offer high quality care and education for the children we have with us.

Staff confidential surveys have not been used this year but will be reintroduced in the next academic year. The feedback we receive helps the Committee plan changes and improvements in the way the setting is managed at Committee level. In response to some of the previous concerns raised, we ensure that all staff have contact details for the three main Committee officers, to allow queries and concerns to be raised easily and confidentially if required.

We have a staff rota that is reviewed every half term, to ensure that ratios are always being met and to allow sufficient levels of staffing to enable staff to take the twenty minutes lunch time break they are entitled to.

Hannah Hilton who joined our Relief team in June 2024, left us in October 2024 to pursue a different career path. We wish her every success and thank her for the help she gave us during her short time with us.

The setting continues to have three Designated Safeguarding Leads, Samantha Marshall continuing as the main responsible person, with Leanne Durow and Sheane Gilhooly (Meakin) in the Deputy positions.

Committee

This AGM saw the retiring of Sophie Scott-Bebbington as Chairperson and Laurie Coy as Secretary. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for all their help, they will be very sadly missed. Both Laurie Foulger and Courtney Wells were removed from the Ofsted list as they didn’t proceed with their paperwork applications. Continuing as Trustee were myself, Laura Gadsby, Hollie Briggs and Charlotte Curtis. We were joined by four new members: Amy Bucklow, Amelia Harrison, Stuart Jackson and Sarah Willetts, all parents of children currently in Pre-School.

At the first standard meeting, I stepped up to the position of Chairperson, Laura Gadsby remained as Treasurer and Stuart Jackson stepped in to the role of Secretary, which we were very grateful for.

I would like to thank our existing Committee members for all their hard work this year. It has been challenging but without the team, we would not succeed, and their involvement is so valuable.

Fundraising

We raised £2,359.47 in fundraising and donations this year with £153.06 in expenses, giving an actual total raised of £2,206.41. This amount was through various activities; raffles, sponsored events, pre-loved sale, bake sale, commission from Stikins and My Child’s Art sales.

We were fortunate to be in receipt of one grant this year from the Scargill’s Educational Foundation for £185.00. Any grants that we receive make such a difference to the setting and for this we are very grateful, but this year additional applications haven’t been progressed, causing us to lose out on valuable income. Grant applications must be a priority for the newly formed Committee in the next academic year.

This academic year, we decided to change the way we asked for voluntary snack contributions. Previously, we would send out a request slip and envelope every half term asking for a £6.00 voluntary contribution and although quite successful, uptake could be low.

We have started adding the voluntary contribution to the half term fee invoices, in the hope that more parents would be reminded to contribute when paying their fees. It was agreed that we would ask for £1.00 per week for snack along with £1.00 per week for consumables, the total amount on each invoice being defined by the number of weeks in each half term. The consumables request goes toward various items including tissues, wipes and nappies. This has been a success, bringing in £3,525.40, although our expenditure on snack alone within this academic year was £1,775.53.

We have seen on average 44 parents out of 50 contributing at the start of the academic year, dropping to 41 out of 50 contributing at the end of the academic year. Unfortunately, this is quite similar to the uptake seen on the old system. Some parents seem reluctant to contribute and as this is a voluntary scheme, we are unable to challenge that.

The team have continued to use the Newsletter to put forward a Donation Request List where we ask parents for small stock items for example, Sellotape and Blue Tac, to hopefully reduce our expenditure on these things. It continues to be very well received.

IT Developments

Our Website is running well, alongside our Facebook and Twitter accounts. This allows our parents to be regularly updated and have a place to go to obtain required information.

We are still using our online learning journal Tapestry, which comes with an annual fee. It continues to be an amazing asset to the PreSchool and a useful source of information for our parents.

The amount spent on IT this year was £913.89. This was made up of our usual outgoings; annual fees for Tapestry, Website, printer ink and toner, mobile phone usage and Microsoft Office 365 annual license.

The overall cost was lower than last year, with the main extra expense of £250.00 being that of access to the Rachel Buckler Online Safeguarding Hub. Last year this expense was in our Training budget but has been moved to IT where it sits better. The hub is still hugely beneficial for our staff and continues to confirm our commitment to ensuring effective and relevant Safeguarding training in our setting.

Pre-School Events

This year we have again been able to invite parents and carers into our setting with our Christmas and Easter activity sessions, where parents can meet staff and speak with their child’s keyperson in the style of an informal parents evening. We have continued to host Mother’s Day and Father’s Day celebrations, along with a Grandparent’s Day event. They are a chance for parents and carers to experience the Pre-School environment.

2025/2026 Projects

Over the coming academic year, we will aim to continue to recover from our financial losses with grant applications and fundraising being key. Expenditure will again need to be closely monitored. We will continue to develop the setting and ensure all our systems are reviewed and in place.

Thanks must be given to our staff who work so hard, as ratios are strictly adhered to. They have had to accept that over staffing is no longer possible with the financial budget constraints that we have.

The 2024/2025 Pre-School academic year has been successful, thanks to the commitment of staff and Committee. The Pre-School has continued to grow and is a respected childcare provider in our community. I am enormously proud of the team, continuing to step up when required and providing a stable environment for the children in our care.

' Independent Examiner s Report to the Trustees of West Hallam Village Pre-School

I report on the accounts of the Pre-School for the year ended 31 August 2025.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner.

The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act);
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. The examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items of disclosure in the accounts.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements;
(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act

have not been met; or

to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
