St Marychurch Pre-school Treasurer’s Report for the AGM on Friday 1 July 2022

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 until April 2022 when it became £4.15. Fifteen hours of funding has also been available to eligible two year olds who meet the criteria at an hourly rate of £5.00 which again became £5.17 from April. This year two children have taken all or part of the 30 hour funding entitlement. From January 2022 nonfunded children fees increased from £4.50 to £5.00 per hour regardless of age. In September 2021 there were sixteen children on the register which increased to twenty children by the end of April 2022. Seven children will leave for school in July 2022 and 1 child so far is starting in September 2022 and currently have 1 child on the waiting list.

We had no children on EYPP (Early Years Pupil Premium) funding at the beginning of the academic year and now have one child from April 2022. Six children receive Deprivation funding and no children received ALFEY. The money has been spent on staff training to support children with new self-regulation techniques. The amount has been accounted for and detailed in a separate record.

For the year ending 31/3/22 our funding and donations raised £1479.30. The setting raised money again by collecting clothes for Bags2School, Christmas raffle and several table top sales. These funds were used to purchase the following items:

1. Copies of the same book to support literacy

2. Storage containers

3. Staff wages

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 Toddler group sessions which still proves popular in the Autumn and Spring terms, although we did lose income when numbers had to be restricted.

The setting made a loss of £5198.96. The loss was due to having to increase the adult to child ratio to support the children with self-regulating and behaviour needs. The lower amount paid by Government funding. The setting still needed to purchase a range of cleaning materials in line with the government Covid-19 guidelines introduced and following Public Heath advice the setting had a deep clean.

Future plans:

1. To provide climbing soft play.

2. To provide outdoor sand play with builder’s yard.

3. To work with the Babbacombe Bay Bloomers.
