Trustees Report Year End 2025
Following the previous years discussions with the academic trust, whom we rented our classroom from, we had to make a decision to close Broomley Pre-school and make our staff redundant. Our reasons for this are that we were offered no security over a lease to offer us protection and ownership of our own pre-school setting. The costs that were to be imposed to us were significantly higher and low birth rate numbers forecasted for the next few years ahead would have seen us in a negative financial position within a matter of years. The trust also wanted us to accept 9 month olds and upwards which would have changed staff ratio and costs.
I personally met with each staff member and discussed our options. We were all in favour and understanding to close the preschool and accept a redundancy payout. One staff member offered to resign and seek employment elsewhere for their own financial security.
We focused on selling and donating our resources and did regular checks on our staff welfare, especially as one member was pregnant. We did not make any efforts to fundraise during this financial period.
As we were closing on July 18[th] 2025, we had to arrange for a member of staff to receive their statutory maternity pay in a lump sum, which we then had to claim back from HMRC. This delayed our ability to make redundancy payments immediately upon closure, However, in the November staff were contacted and it was mutually agreed that they would be receive one payment in December 2025 and enhanced payments in February once all monies had been claimed. This will explain why there was still a significant amount of money left in the account at the end of this academic year.
It has been a pleasure to be chairperson of such a wonderful and Ofsted graded outstanding charity, but now its tome for pastures new.
