St Marychurch Pre-school Treasurer’s Report for the AGM on Friday 2 July 2021

The purpose of this charity is to provide an inclusive environment in which children learn, using all areas of the Early Years Foundation stage and for practitioners and committee to work with and support parents in their role as prime educators of their children.

The strategies employed to achieve the charity’s aims and objects are to:-

1. Plan a curriculum based on the EYFS using the child’s interests and information provided by parents, carers and children.

2. To encourage all parents to be involved in their child’s learning and to have discussions with practitioners.

3. To provide an environment both inside and out, allowing different age groups to work alongside each other and to celebrate the diversity of cultures in our society by ensuring an inclusive

practice.

Torbay Early Years has provided every three and four year old with fifteen hours per week of funding at an hourly rate of £3.96. Fifteen hours of funding has also been available to two year olds who meet the criteria at an hourly rate of £5.00. This year three children have taken all or part of the 30 hour funding entitlement. From January 2021 non-funded children fees increased from £4.30 to £4.50 per hour regardless of age. In September 2020 there were thirteen children which increased to 18 children by March 2021. Nine children will leave for school in July 2021 and 5 new children have applied to start in September 2021.

We had 3 children on EYPP (Early Years Pupil Premium) funding and eight children on Deprivation funding and two children receiving ALFEY. The money has been spent on supporting the emotional and well-being of the children during lockdown. The amount has been accounted for and detailed in a separate record.

For the year ending 31/3/21 our funding and donations raised £216.00. Due to Covid-19 and lockdown restrictions the setting had to find ways of raising money in different ways. £135.00 was raised by collecting clothes for Bags2School and a Christmas raffle. These funds were used to purchase the following items:

1. A range of books on emotions

2. Props for the termly theme

3. Easter packs to send home

4. Book bags

The wages and end of year accounts were passed to Barton Accountants to process.

The charity continues to provide a public service to a range of families in the local community, especially with the Baby and Toddler sessions although these were cancelled for a while and then opened again with restrictions from April 2021

Made a loss of £3896.37. This being due to the lower numbers of children being on the books. The increase purchase of cleaning materials in line with the government guidelines introduced.

Future plans:

1. To provide climbing soft play.

2. To purchase outdoor crates for climbing

3. To interact further with the intergenerational group when the start meeting again.
