Trustees Report - 2023 - 2024 Trustees - Hayley Green - Kelly Denton Manager - Mandy Walton This report covers 1.9.2023 - 31.8.2024 September children - 31 pre-school chi Idren - 31 toddlers and 10 babies These numbers slowly increased during the year, we had 31 children leave in the July to go to nine dif ferent schools. All of the dif f erent teachers were able to come into nursery to visit the children starting with them in the following September. Staf f - 15 with another one staf f on long-term sick and one on maternity leave Durin9 the year, we gained three more staf f and one Apprentice, one returned f rom Maternity leave and one went on maternity leave. The year has been a very busy one with the pre-schoo I children enjoying the Kixx sessions on a Thursday throughout the term. This is an outside agency that comes in and supports the children with their ball skills, promoting listening, teamwork etc. We have done a display in the church f or their annual Flower Festival and taken part in the East Midlands Britain in Bloom completion where the judges gave us a positive report. The children had done a lot of planting and growing to help them understand where their food comes f rom. The chi Idren enjoyed a visit f rom Long Sutton f ir Station, they were able to have f irst-hand experience of the f ire engine and use some of the equipment. The children have enjoyed having the eggs and i ncubator to watch the chicks hatch: this is always a very positive experience as they get to handle the chicks. They also experienced caterpillars changing into butterf lies and the ladybird's lif e cycle. The photographer has been in twice during the year and this is always a good f undraising proJect although a little hectic on the days they are in. The staf f have undertaken numerous trainin9 session throughout the year including Well Being, Well Com, SENDCO, Transitions and Partnerships, Makaton, Prevent and other saf eguarding courses, Oral Health, Sage as well as Manager brief ings and Networks. PAT testin9 is carried out annually along With the Fire Extinguishers, Alarms (both f ire and intruder) and the Legionella checks and Risk Assessment
Throughout the year, Parents Evening/meetings have been taking place, especially f or the children moving to big school in September, supporting parents in helping their chi Id to be school ready. The Holiday club has been in operation durin9 all school holidays and was particularly busy some weeks in the summer. Chi Idren who attended came f rom a number of dif ferent school were able to make new f riends and rekindle f riendships they had before they moved f rom us to school. The Kixx sessions were able to carry on during the summer, which gave the older children an interest and focus each week. In all this has been a very busy year, the staf f have worked really hard to ensure the best outcomes f or all of the chi Idren in their care. The f unding was i ntroduced for babies the term af ter the chi Id was nine months so this meant more spaces to cover the demand. Finances have been good this year, this will put us in a good position for the followi ng year as some equipment inside and outside is in need of replacing/renewing. The committee is being supported by t)inky Ones to make the change over to a CIO, this is in progress and meetings have been held with all parents who have agreed to the change. Chairperson; Date:
