The Chairperson opened the meeting and welcomed everyone. Patrea read the minutes from the last AGM and they were signed as a true record.
Matters Arising:
There continues to be an increase in the number of children with SEN attending nursery, although the nursery has been very lucky to have a very god reputation around our work with SEN children and their families.
This will be the last year for Jenny at nursery as she plans to retire in July 2022.
Leaders Report
We have had a rise in the number of special educational needs children who need extra support but this seems to be the same each year, we have an increasing number of children awaiting paediatric assessment at the moment but the waiting time is very long. This is reflected across the local authority.
Jen and Patrea thanked everyone for their support and help over the last year, it has been incredible hard but everyone has pulled together.
Jen and Patrea reported that their partnership is still working really well and Jenny announced that her plans last year changed but she now plans to retire in July 2022 but that she hopes to continue to be part of the nursery family and remain on the committee and as nominated person.
Jenny stated that she knew she was leaving the nursery in the best hands and that Patrea would be the right person to see the nursery progress and bloom in the future.
We are still awaiting an inspection from Ofsted as our last one was in 2017 but we feel we are all prepared for when they come.

TEDDY BEAR NURSERY
Year Ending 31 July 2022
There has been a deficit again this year, however it has been reduced by £12,000 from the previous year.
Significant savings have been made on wages, premises costs, consumables and equipment. However, there has been a fall in the income from B&NES Grant but the income from fees has increased, this is due to there being a higher number of younger children who are not entitle to funding.
During 2022/23 year continued savings need to be made to continue to reduce this years deficit of £14,858. Income also needs to be looked at, especially around children with SEN who may be entitled to extra funding to help with wage costs.
