Chairman’s Report 2025 

It has been another quiet year at Honeypots. We have continued to remain open with the 

support of the welfare officer in successfully applying for grants on our behalf. 

We have continued to run with minimal staff due to low numbers of children and with the grant we are managing to tick over. 

Fundraising this year has helped to re develop our forest school area. We have been able to train staff in level 3 forest school and outdoor paediatric first aid. 

The funds have helped us to clear our overgrown forest school, fence the area for safety, purchased a composting toilet and spruced up our mud kitchen. We also have remaining funds to continue with the re development and train more staff. 

The finances are continuing to be monitored closely to ensure we can remain open for the return of the battalion in the Summer 2024, which we remain positive about. 

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. Anthony Goth
