## **Manager’s/ Chairperson report -AGM June 2025** We have had a busy year at Preschool. There have been a few changes to staff and to the classroom/outside area. ## **Staff** - Wendy retired in July 2024 - Zubeda retired December 2024 - Jaye Griffiths joined in January 2025 - We have 8 staff Sue Weston- Level 6 QTS- 35 hours - Emma Harrison- Level 4 -28 hours - Roziana Gunny- Level 6 EYPS- 14 hours - Jane Lister – Level 2-18 hours - Jennifer Turton- Level 3- 26 hours - Leigh Ashton- Studying Level qualification(completing this summer)- 17.75 hours Hannah Atkinson- Croad- Level 3- 14 hours Jaye Griffiths Level 3 -16 hours We also have 4 reliable supply staff to cover. All are Level 3 or above. - A member of staff will be going on Maternity leave. We have covered this internally. ## **Committee** - We would like to thank them for their hard-work and dedication in supporting the team. - Committee helped with the recruitment, updating policies, checking finances. - Amy Anson agreed to become Treasurer, and we would like to thank her for this. ## **Finances/ allocations** - We had some spaces not filled during 2022-23 resulting in a lower income. - We have had full sessions on most days from September last year. This has resulted in the receipt of fees being healthy. - We have had 36 children on role this year. From September this year we will have 30 children on role. We have a maximum of 21 children per session but try to keep to 20. This allows for ad hoc sessions. - Room fees from April have remained the same. - FEL has increased slightly and is now £5.32/hour £7.88 for 2-year-olds - Fundraising / donations amounted to £1485. We received £400 from LISA( Lydgate Infant School fundraising), and we would like to thank them for their contribution. - The accounts for 2022-2023 showed that we made a loss. This year we have made a slight profit which can be invested back into the setting. The financial report has more detail. - We have changed our offer to include some children from 2 years 6 months. ## **Ofsted** We had an Ofsted inspection on Tuesday 14[th] May 2024. We achieved the grade “Outstanding”. Staff and committee have worked incredibly hard to help move the setting forward. I am extremely pleased that everyone’s hard work was recognised. We are continuing to develop the setting further. ## **Parent/Carer communication** - We have a Facebook page to show what the children have been doing and share any information. This has been welcomed by parents/carers. - We have ensured staff share next steps at Parent/Carer meetings. - We will be using the Parent/Carer questionnaire moving forward. - We are continuing Stay and Play sessions. - We will share and ideas on how to support the children at home **.** - We are providing more opportunities for parents to join their child in the sessions eg sharing books, celebrations, stay and play throughout the year. ## **Classroom/Outside** - We are continuing to develop the outside at Preschool. We have been using the wildlife garden regularly which is a great learning resource and is very popular with the children. - We are going on trips in the local area. We would like to develop this further. - The inside classroom is much less cluttered with meaningful enhancements added continuously. ## **Training** During 2023/2024 we just completed the necessary training. Due to the previous year’s .lloss, we did not invest in other training. From September 2024 we did complete a training package offered by Sheffield City Council. This involved a course on Behaviour and Big Feelings which was cascaded down to all staff. We also accessed Maths all around us, SEND and Supporting PSED. ## **Working with Lydgate Infant School** I am pleased to say that Alexis Moon (Deputy Head) has been working alongside our committee. We are working together on how we can improve communication and develop the outside area. ## **SEND** Sue Weston is continuing as SENCO with support from Emma and Jennifer. We have 1 child in the process of an EHCP assessment. We have a few children on internal differentiation. 810z lao ¥31 (￿3¥?1) fr￿￿ Jp (AUE l!)
