Tavi&(Kk P.- Schod We have dramatically improved on last year and only made a loss of £997. We will need to continue moni- toring finances in the coming months, due to the continued rise in the cost of livin& focus on generatin8 income and cost cutting where possible. In planning all our activities and policies the Trustees have kept in mlnd the Charity Commisslon's guidance on public benefit. Stafflng The management team has been a strong guiding presence to the staff. We have had some staff changes with two people leaving and one person joinin8 the team during the past academic year. We have decided not to replace one member of staff immediately, and have adapted the staff rota accordingly to ensure child ratlos are malntained. All staff are level 3 trained, statutory training is up to date, and we have returned to staff cleaning the premises. We continue to have a strong team in terms of quallfications and experlence, and we are always keen to encourage and support staff with any further trainin8. Commlttee We have a committee of parent volunteers, which include named roles of Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary. The committee Is responsible for a8reein8 Pre-school policies, recruitment of staff, fundraising and organlsln8 social events to name a few. The committee meets regularly with staff to ensure 8ood communication between all parties. At these meetings we discuss Ideas for fundralsing and all areas that need to be actioned in order to maintain the effective operation of the Pre-school and its continued development. We also hold one to one meetin8s between the Chair and Manager on a regular basis. The previous Chairperson, Secretary and Treasure remain in post, with only a few members of the commit- tee stepping down and others recruited. Therefore, committee numbers remain stron8 and we are able to run effectively as shown by Successful fundraising and events. Fundralslng Fundraising has been successful this year, we were able to raise £2,713 from the cake / lolly sales, snack donations, uniform sales, company Sponsorship, sponsored activities and a summer raffle. Hopefully this total will increase once again movin8 forward. The committee remains dedicated to finding new ways to raise money for the items needed by the Pre-school.

T.,kk P..klk Ofsted The Pre-school was inspected by Ofsted in February 2023 and received a "Good" ratin8. We continue to maintain all required standard5, and one of our goals is to achieve an "outstandin￿ result at the next in- spection. The Pre-school is well thought of locally with far more demand than spaces and a very healthy waitin8 list. We do not have to advertise due to the Pre-school's good reputation in the community. Rlsk assessment and management Rlsk assessments are updated as required and formally reviewed annually. The daily risk assessments are ongoing and ensure a safe environment for the children to learn and develop. The accident evaluation process has continued and is effective in identifying any patterns that need to be resolved. Fire drllls are completed half-termly, they are documented, timed and evaluations are made to assist with Improvements, whlch are documented and communicated to staff during meetings. New equipment Is risk assessed before use, then periodic reviews soon after to assess how the equipment 15 used and whether improvements to safety are required. We encourage children to manage their own risks through discussion and positive role modelling. There are regular staff meetings where any issues can be raised, discussed and addressed. Reserves As a guiding principle, the committee aims to hold cash reserves equatin8 to six months expenditure, and any work carried out in the following months will not reduce the reserves to an inappropriate level. We have therefore put on hold all plans for improvements to the outside area, to ensure that finances are maintained within appropriate levels. This is still somethin8 we would like to be able to do in the future. The main financial Issue we have had this year was the rlse in the National Living Wage whlch was increased by 9.8% in April 2024, leading to a huge overhaul of our pay structures. We were faced with the challenge of giving an increase to those who needed it, while also trying to maintain the pay gaps between the different roles. Tav151ock Pre-school. Broadacres.
