Trustees Report Year End 2021

The restrictions and advice for Covid-19 continued to impact on the running of our setting. Our headcount was much lower than the previous few years but this seemed a blessing given the ever-changing guidance. We were still able to offer a lunch club and additional hours/sessions for those not entitled to the full 30hours.

Following our Ofsted inspection in February 2020 where we were delighted to maintain our outstanding status, we had an article published in our local newspaper and we invested in a banner to display our success outside the entrance to preschool.

The equal’s card has proved a good choice as the manager is now able to purchase items without using petty cash or having their own bank account reimbursed. Also, as a result of covid nobody was handing over cash payments and preferred to pay via online banking. The card is used to purchase resources, cleaning products and snacks for the classroom. We continue to ask parents for a contribution of £15 towards the snacks and forest schools cooking. We offer a healthy variety of snacks to the children.

With a lack of fundraising opportunities, we didn’t spend much on new resources for the classroom or outdoor area. This was also a choice due to the additional expense of cleaning products and PPE. Our independent cleaner is still being used.

Unlike previous years, whereby we would ask external agencies to come and provide a specialist lesson, this was also not possible due to Covid restrictions within the school.

Salaries were again reviewed to reflect the increase in national living minimum wage. We always try to ensure our staff to child ratio operates to best practice and use our bank staff where possible to remain mindful of finances.

As an early year setting, after the initial lockdown in March, we remained open for any child who wished to attend.

Myself, as chair and the preschool, manager both undertook our Level 3 forest school leader training, which was funded by preschool. We managed to enjoy lots of outdoor activities with the children and they particularly liked it when we lit the fire and toasted marshmallows.

As an early year provider, we track our children’s progress by continual observation and photographic evidence, therefore we bought 3 amazon fire tablets for staff use.

Because of the continued restrictions within school, we were not able to do our normal transition process. However, we still managed to let the children familiarize themselves with staff and the first school they would be moving to.

With lower numbers and increased costs this resulted in us making a significant loss for the academic year. Our reserve account continues to mature on a 42-day term.
