## CHAIRS REPORT 2024
## **Chairs annual report**
This year has been another successful year for the setting. A huge thankyou to all involved this year for your work and input to any changes and improvements that have been made along the way. We are currently at maximum with numbers for children and have a waiting list of children waiting for spaces as and when they become available. Our area has seen another local Pre School close its doors earlier in the year so we have been in higher demand.
Earlier this year Lesley made the decision to move on from her role of preparing snack, We wish her the best of luck in her new adventures and thank her for her time spent at the Pre School.
This year has seen some changes made to the setting. In August all the fences were replaced with higher, more secure fences. This aids more privacy within the playground and also more safety for the children who are now unable to climb these fences. We are looking into changing the external doors as these need replacing and having a doorbell camera installed for added security.
We have recently recruited a new member of staff Amanda, who has taken over the role from Lesley of sorting and preparing snack for the children. Amanda has settled in well to this new role and we are happy to welcome her to the team.
We have secured another year of activities for the children with the relevant companies, this means the children will continue doing French, Cookery and PE. These have all been a huge hit with the children and their developments in these areas.
We are in the process of booking the Christmas activities for the children. This year we will have an entertainer coming in for the Christmas party and lots of fun things planned for them that Lisa has arranged for us. Thank you for sorting this Lisa.

## MANAGERS REPORT 2024
## **Managers annual report**
Well what can I say other than the last school year went so fast, but it was another successful year for us as a pre school.
We started September 2023 with excellent numbers and places allocated for the year meant we were full straight away. We still have a high number of children accessing 30 hour funding and attend the setting for the full 5 days. Thursday still remains just for the pre-schoolers and this session works really well, with lots of activities that help and prepare for primary school. We have also added our French lesson on a Thursday which is going really well.
In April 2024 the government rolled out funding to 2 year olds of working parents and they could apply for 15 hours of funding, we therefore had a number of children that could claim and are therefore accessing funding.
We held our Christmas nativity and our spring performance which were well attended by parents and it is lovely to have the children display all their hard work to their parents. The children work hard on these performances as do the staff to ensure that the
children have costumes, know the stories and songs ready to perform, so a huge thank you to the staff.
I must thank our committee for all the work they have done this year from sorting new fencing, to shopping for new toys etc and just generally checking in and making sure that we are all okay. Your support has been amazing and we are very grateful for the time you give.
As always I have to acknowledge the staff as without them I really couldn’t do my job. Lesley took the decision to leave in the summer and we wish her well. InSeptember Amanda started with us in the preparation of snack and working with the children. Amanda has settled in so well. I must take the opportunity to thank all the staff for their continued hard work and support over the last year. They really do make my job so much easier and I am grateful for everything they do.
As we continue in a new school year we are full with a healthy waiting list for September 2025 and beyond. We look forward to the next 12 months and the challenges it may bring!
