It has been a very busy year and the staf have worked incredibly hard to make it a
good one for all the children.
There are a number of changes that will happen going forward which we need to
be mindful of to ensure the contnued success.||||||||| |5.||Treasurers Report: November 2025||||||||| Page 1 of 5 Signed as a true record:.. ...... Date:............................................ ||We have had one of the busiest years to date. 28 children lef for school in July
2025 which lef us with 20 on the register for Sept 25. We had 7 new starters in
September with two more due to start in January 2026. Following this we have no
other children on the waitng list untl 2027 when we have one booked in to start.
Priority this year must be advertsing and increasing numbers to ensure
we remain viable. This has become more vital since we discovered a new setng
opened at Langrick in Sept 25– purpose built and on a farm. We are fully aware
that our website needs to be changed to show a true picture of who we are and
that we need to review the front of the building to make it obvious that we are
here and welcoming. Grant funding may need to be applied for to cover the costs
of this.
At last years AGM a mini bus was discussed and funding was being put forward, in
July we learnt that New York and Frithville school were amalgamated in
September and that they had contacted LCC to say they would like to open their
own on site ASC. LCC instantly withdrew our applicaton due to the transport of
their children to and from us being the reason for the funding applicaton. We will
need to look at alternatve funding sources for this now. This is something that will
be a vital advertsing as with a logoed bus outside everyone will see that we are
here.
Fees were increased in September, this may need reviewing again in April when the
minimum wage increases again.
The licence has been signed and renewed with the chapel
The accounts for 23-24 have been signed of and submited to the charity
commission. Year 24-25 is currently being fnished of then will be sent over to
be audited. The 23-24 accounts shows just over £40.000.00 additon to our
accounts. This was not donaton, it is the balance from the reserve account
which was not added in the previous year.
For the year 24-25
Opening balance – in accordance with the bank statement £40654.05
Closing balance - in accordance with the bank statement £47511.53
Cash fow for every month with Maggie(suggested by Maxine)| |---|---| |6.|Managers Report:

We have seen further changes to the EYFS this year. A nutriton guidance
has been issued which all setngs are required to acton. The requirements
in this document could lead to the queston ‘what can a child eat’. We will
implement what must be implemented and as always use our own
judgment on how far this goes to ensure our children stll have a balanced
diet alongside some treats.

A statutory document has been introduced as of Sept 25 – this has a clear
focus on safe recruitment and whistleblowing. There is also requirements
added in reference to sleeping children and supervision whilst eatng. Elaine
and I are working through this document to be able to best guide changes
topolicies andprocedures. Much of what has been changed ispractce we| Page 2 of 5 Signed as a true record:.. ...... Date:............................................ were already doing as good practice. - The government have now rolled out the 30 hour funding for all working parents for children aged 9mths – 5yrs. This may impact us in the coming years as many parents will take their children to a baby room and remain at that setting rather than remove them to come to us at 2yrs. - The DFE has issued a sustainability and climate change strategy which requires all education settings to develop an action plan on how we will develop a greener approach to everything we do and how we will educate children on this – this is an ongoing action for us. Challenges to meeting this fully are:- being in a rented building which limits the options we have to change the bigger things, the building is old and not modern which impacts the energy conservation, costs. - Stafng We currently have 13 staff on role – 4 full time and 9 part time. This year we have changed the staff hours to allow preschool staff to leave no later than 4.30 each day. We then have two members of staff that are employed to work afterschool club only. In 2 months we have seen a huge difference in the energy given to after school club and the excitement of the children attending. The two staff that were previously on Maternity last year have returned part time. This has allowed myself and Elaine to get in the office and begin the catch up of paperwork and admin rather than being in ratio everyday. Shona - Baby rooms are nice, but the Preschool room here is so much better Shona - There is such a big difference when coming to collect the boys from ASC finding out all what they’ve been up too Emily - ASC forest school, this was brilliant ## Partnerships Unfortunately, the head has left GBA academy, this was a huge blow to us as we worked so well together. The new head teacher is still settling into her role but we are hopeful to continue the partnership at the same level it had reached once she has full settled. We continue to use the forest school at the equestrian, this year we were able to offer hot lunches down there which were very popular. The coming year will see us being able to develop parent sessions and after school club session down there. What comes next We are still working towards having security cameras installed over the next year – this has been an ongoing target for a few years now. We have had one camera donated to us which we need to get installed. Three more are needed to ensure we have full security around the building. Other things that we need to consider for this year are a new carpet in the rainbow room and a canopy for the outdoor area Page 3 of 5 Signed as a true record:.. ...... Date:............................................ To support us in sustainability we need to consider not only how we can encourage more parents to travel to us but also our intake age criteria. Maggie – could the parish council support with the camera’s to help with security of the village/chapel? – Maxine will ask them 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. Lastly I would like to say a huge thank you to Elaine for her unrelenting dedication and support she gives every day. She remains my rock every day and picks me up when I fall regardless of what she herself is going through. 7. Any Other Business: Committee issues: Is everyone happy to remain in their current positions? Yes |
