Review of the year
Our annual general meeting was held, a committee of trustees was forn]ed including
existing parents and ex-parents. The existing chair of the committee was re-elected to
continue in her role for the forth coming year. Face to face meetings have been limited
due to trustees working commitments, however communication has remained via
WhatsApp trustees, group and email correspondence. The chair has continue to
support and have regular updates with the manager.
Busy Bees Playgroup has proven to be a popular choice for parents within the loca]
community as
all our sessions remained full from the start of tlie academic year, with a vast increase
on the nurnber of hours that children attended. There w&s a sigmificant increase in
number of parents claiming working family entitlement of the nursery education
funth'ng scheme allowing up to 30hrs of free childcare, and also 2-year-old funding.
The introduction of a tennly voluntary contribution of £1 O was applied to all invoices
to assist with the rise in consumables. Although this generated additional income
from families who pay for their childcare, limited contributions were receiN'ed from
parents in receipt of nursery funding.
Busy Bees Playgroup has continued to support children with additional needs ￿]d
purchase additiona] resource's to support their needs.
