Chairman’s Report 2024
It has been a very quiet year at Honeypots. We have managed to remain open with the support of the welfare officer in successfully applying for grants on our behalf.
We had a reduction in staff due to redundancies and low numbers of children, to support keeping costs down, and with the grant we are managing to tick over.
Fundraising this year has helped us to create a reading shed in the garden. Thank you to everyone for all your support with raising funds to help support our children’s learning and development.
The finances are being monitored closely to ensure we can remain open for the return of the battalion in the Summer 2024.
We have been in close contact with the new battalion to support the move and provide children with nursery spaces, as well as staffing for the upcoming increase in children.
We are always on the look out for new committee members to join our management committee to support the nursery in remaining open
Lynette and all the staff would like to thank all the parents for their continued support.
