## **Chair Report 202-2023 Kings Stanley Playgroup AGM** Monday 3[rd] June 2024 Committee Members: Fraya Nicholls – Chair Rachel Woodward – Secretary Gav Dickson – Treasurer Hannah Dickson Chole De Carteret Webb Rebecca Stephens Kirsty Sargent Katie Halliday Kirsty ## **Introduction** This is my second AGM as Chair of Kings Stanley Playgroup. I am pleased to acknowledge, during this year we have had several successful key moments. Working with parents and carers we are now opening Playgroup for soft openings and closings supporting those that need the extra time, as this has been so successful it will now be rolled out on a permanent basis. We have had several successful fundraising events and as ever, the support from the parents/carers and local community is very important. Through the hard work and dedication from our Manager Vicki and her team at the time, it was great to receive such a rating. I would also like to thank Committee for their support throughout the year, this team works incredibly hard to ensure Playgroups runs smoothly. ## **Overview of previous year** I would like to recognise the amazing hard work that goes on behind the scenes with Committee. Ww have held several fundraising events this year and in total we have raised £1715.50. It is noticeable that with even with Committee support and staff, we desperately need the parents to volunteer at fundraising events. I will stress that fundraising is for the benefit of PG, which raises money to enhance our children’s education and welfare. Therefore, I implore parents at PG to volunteer, even for an hour, many hands make light work. ## **Staffing** This year staff have been fantastic, rising to every occasion and working hard to ensure our children’s needs are met. ## **Setting** At the start of the year Committee members and staff worked over a weekend and cleared the garage, itemised items and donated anything that was no longer used. ## **Admissions** Admission stats are Current - Pre-school = 26 Rising 3 = 25 Achieving 2 = 4 Total 55 children September 24 - Pre-school = 33 Rising 3 = 15 (with 5 to start at a later date) Total to start in September = 48 Achieving 2 = 12 (these have not been allocated yet as they are not old enough to start) Total to be allocated = 17 ## **Committee Members** A big thank you to all the Committee Members, your hard work and dedication is what helps PG to remain open – you all are superstars in your own rights. I can confirm three members are remaining; Gav as Treasurer, Rachel will step down from secretary to a general member and Kirsty will remain as a general members. We have several members who will be leaving Committee; Hannah, Becky, Kirsty, Chloe and Katie, they leave as their children are moving up to school – Thank you so much ladies, its been a privilege to have worked alongside you all for several years and I wish you the very best. I will be stepping down as Chair and leaving the Committee, I have been part of the wonderful Committee for two years now and whilst my son is entering his final year at PG, I now feel its times to hand the reins to another. I will remain close to Committee to lend a hand where needed. Thank you to Suzy supporting PG the last few years. Suzy stepped down from her role a few months ago and still remains a helping hand if needed. ## **Conclusion** It is without doubt that KSPG is a wonderful setting, somewhere I am proud to send my son. The staff are all truly dedicated and support one another, each time I visit setting it is noticeable how well they all get on. Our manager Vicki has implemented many great changes and we have a great working relationship. Thank you everyone. Thank you to Committee members for supporting PG and the many hours that go on behind the scene, all which is unpaid. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and it’s great we are all doing it for our children’s setting. Finally, a thank you to parents for supporting PG and volunteering to read books, help on walks, without you your children would not be able to enjoy these activities. ## **INCOME AND EXPENDITURE** |**INCOME AND EXPENDITURE**|||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |PERIOD TO DATE||**Jul-24**||**YTD 2023-2024**||**YTD 2022-2023**|| |**CURRENT ACCOUNT**
