This years accounts will be finished and sent for independent review and reported on next agm. Although we had a very busy year last year financially we have not seen a gain. The rising costs of everything and lack of government funding for the children has impacted on us extremely hard. This year will be a very tight year and we will be operating on a month by month basis. Our priority this year will be applying for grants and funding from other sources and fundraising through preschool for resources. Hopefully the 20 year celebrations can help with this. In March 2023 the chapel received an extortionate electricity bill due which they have had to take out a loan to pay off. Our rent increased to help with some of these rising costs of energy and repairs however we are not in a position to pay any more than we are now. Luckily they have been able to secure a better tariff so hopefully this will improve things for them. In April the national living wage will increase again which will also result in higher pension and tax contributions for employers. We will need to take this into account and consider fee increases to help us sustain this. This year fundraising activities have included • Halloween walk • Easter egg hunt • Valentines dance • Mud run • Christmas tombola ## 6. Managers Report: This last year has flown by and it feels like only yesterday we were having our last AGM!! The number of children on role in 22-23 were very good and the highest we have ever had. This has meant that we started the 23-24 year with the same number of children on role that we normally see on role for a July. This is a huge achievement for a small rural preschool. We currently have 13 people employed 6 part time and 7 full time. We have developed our little explorers program further this year and are offering more community outings and forest school sessions which is benefiting the children greatly. Over the coming year we will be looking at developing the experiences we offer the children in house such as the story lady coming in etc. We have had an OFSTED inspection which went very well and we received a GOOD grading which we are very proud of. We also had a visit from the environmental health office, we received a 5 star grading for this – the highest we can get. Last year I reported that we had a sink hole on the driveway, this was fixed last November however it has now started to sink again. The chapel are aware, I am hoping someone will be out to look at it very soon. We have had a new camera bell installed due to our old one being broken. We are hoping to install four security cameras around the building – this is something we will need to fundraise for as they are very expensive. In January 2024 we will celebrate our 20 year anniversary. We would like to celebrate this in style and throughout the year rather than in just that month. We have had some suggestions from people on ways we can do this but will need many more to make it a successful celebration.

Finally I would like to thank all our parents and committee members for all their support over the past year and also thank our amazing team of staff for their dedication and hard work, they all do a fantastic job and we are very lucky to have them all.
