## **Fountains Playgroup and Pre School Trustee Annual Report 2022 - 2023** ## **Our Aims** The aims of the Pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age in a safe, secure and stimulating environment. We aim to - support and help children to feel safe and content in our care. As we care for each individual we develop a warm and secure relationships with adults and peers - encourage children to explore, experiment, observe and discover, take risks and challenges. - to begin to value the culture, religion, race and language of "self" and "others" through sharing and talking about our differences. - to give children the opportunity to enter into the world of imagination, fantasies, and role-play ## **Economic Climate and Fundraising** This year the setting has been faced with the challenges of running costs continuing to rise and lower than average numbers of children attending. As trustees we have continued to be mindful of the budget and looked at ways to raise money for the setting using different methods. We have introduced extended opening hours with an early start and late finish 3 days per week to encourage more pupils to attend and have focussed on raising the profile of the preschool locally through advertising. We continue to use Bags2School and Easy Fundraising and have included more public involved activities as part of our fundraising. Both fundraising and increasing the numbers of children attending the setting will continue to be a priority and the trustees will continue to monitor the budget and as a result the viability of the setting going forward. We continue to hold reserve in a savings account to protect trustees, committee members and the Charity. ## **Policies** These are regularly reviewed and updated in line with the Pre-School Learning Alliance. As policies have become more complex documents we have continued to use the PLA policy model. We maintain our commitment to and ongoing review of safeguarding policy and procedures and ask that these are observed at all times. Regular training for all staff takes place to ensure knowledge is abreast of changes. The policies are held in the setting are available to read on request. ## **Community Links** Our group is committed to working with the community. Strong links with Fountains School are being made as are links with the village through the Village Hall and our use of the playing field for outdoor learning and forest school sessions.
