The Pre-School’s objectives are:
-
To provide high quality, affordable learning and development opportunities to children of Pre-school age living within the local community and the surrounding area.
-
To offer support, advice and guidance to Parents and Carer’s with children of Pre-School age and create an enabling environment in which they can share in their child’s development.
-
To fulfil our Mission Statement:
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.
We have managed to make more use of our subscriptions such as Tapestry and Flick plus our me learning accounts to improve cpd and cut the price of compulsory training.
We have purchased a new banner which is displayed outside the setting to improve our visibility to passers by and new flyers have also been bought which will be distributed throughout the year.
We have renewed half of our policies so far, with more currently in progress with the aim for all to be completed by the end of December. We will then keep a regular cycle of checking them

-
We currently have 16 Butterfly children and 15 Caterpillar children. We are still having regular enquiries and parents booking in show arounds. We are at 75% capacity at the moment however we are expecting lower numbers in September.
-
We currently have 67 sessions in Butterflies and only 6 sessions in Caterpillars available.
-
This academic year we have not needed to take on any new staff, as we adapted our business model to maximize our staff ratios.
-
We have not had any staff changes however we are pleased to announce that Flo has achieved her Level 5 and Jemma & Jess have also completed their Level 3 this academic year so they all have new skills and knowledge to share with us.
2024-25 was not a profitable year for Shurdington Pre-School. We had hoped to breakeven but due to a late funding payment this did not happen. Pre-School do need to make it a priority to be able to maintain reserves to ensure we have cashflow available to run effectively.
Regarding contingency the statutory redundancy payments have been set aside and kept updated if ever the situation arises that our charity cannot continue, however we are hoping this won’t ever be the case.
Funding was 20k less for this year and fees only increased slightly by 1.5k making a big difference as we had fewer children so less sessions were full.
Expenses were controlled tightly due to regular forecasting and budgeting throughout the year as you can see we still managed to spend less than the previous year.
As a charity we need to make a small profit each year to build up funds to replace resources, maintain staff levels, carry out compulsory training and offer different activities for the children to enjoy.
As per our objectives below we are trying to investigate ways to increase our income as fundraising also seems to have dropped quite considerably. This can also be due to the cost of living affecting people’s ability to attend events or purchase tickets etc which we are mindful of.

We will be conducting a complete review of our accounts to see what changes
-
are possible to try to build up reserves. This will help to keep us continuing for the benefit of the community, however with ail costs increasing this has been quite challenging.
-
Pre-School will look at other ways to attract parents on top of the ways
-
we currently use. Even though the government has increased funding offers, many are unaware of the 15 or 30 hour options as there is not enough publicity. This would bring more children to the setting as currently 93% of our hours are funded.
-
Donations and grants are something we are currently looking into and we are
-
hoping to gain further knowledge in this area that could help us as a charity.
