Annual Report

Objectives and activities for the public benefit

The Pre-School’s objectives are:

Shurdington Pre-School aims to offer each child an enriched learning experience through play. We will do this by providing them with a nurturing, holistic and fun environment. Each child and their family will be supported as we encourage all of our children, irrespective of need, to reach their full potential.

- Main Objectves for 2023 2024

Shurdington Pre-School had the following objectives in 2023-2024:

1. Continuity of our Provision

We have been supported by our Committee to successfully remain open and provide the best childcare that we can offer.

Currently the merger with Shurdington Primary School is on hold until further notice.

2. Recruit & Retrain

We did not manage to recruit a Caterpillar Lead or Relief Staff member therefore we have capped our child spaces based on current staffing. As we are having a low birth year we have less children than last year, so are not planning to increase staff going forward .

Making the most of the training that we have access to, has not been as much of a priority as we would like but Continuing Professional Development has been carried out by all members of Staff.

3. Improve Communication

Tapestry has still been consistently used on a day to day basis, however we have yet to explore other features.

4. Strive to achieve Outstanding

We have continued to deliver consistent strategies to the children.

- Pre School Provision and Staf ng

1. We currently have 16 Butterfly children and 8 Caterpillar children. However, in January, we have 4 new Caterpillars starting with us and some existing children have extra sessions booked in. We are at 53% capacity at the moment and we will be at 69% after Christmas.

2. We currently have 53 sessions in Butterflies and 49 sessions in Caterpillars available, however this will reduce to 51 and 24 after Christmas.

3. This academic year we have not needed to take on any new staff, as we adapted our business model to maximise our staff ratios.

4. We have seen existing staff changes with Lynn Moore who left us at the end of the Spring Term to retire after being with us a long time and Alura Diemer who finished her Apprenticeship with us.

Financial Review

  1. 2023-24 was an excellent year for Shurdington Pre-School. We have made a good profit, however this has effectively cancelled out the loss from the previous year, therefore we do need to make it a priority going forward to at least break even, to be able to maintain reserves and have cashflow available to purchase what is needed.

Regarding contingency a separate bank account has been created where the statutory redundancy payment achieved by all staff has been set aside if ever the situation arises that our charity cannot continue, however we are hoping this won’t ever be the case.

  1. Fees dropped slightly in 2023-24 from the previous year, however we did receive a good amount of funding support payments from the government which made a big difference.

  2. Expenses were controlled tightly due to regular forecasting and budgeting throughout the year.

  3. As a charity the aim of the Pre-School is not to build up significant profits or losses, although we can only run at a loss for so long and if we don’t make a small profit each year we cannot build up funds to replace resources, maintain staff levels, carry out compulsory training and offer different activities for the children to enjoy.
