Financial Review As can be seen through the Annual Accounts registered, the value of Grants has increased from previous years and remains an essential requirement for the running of the Pre-school. Vvhilst Employment costs are of course the largest item of expenditure, our efforts have also been drawn to the importance of strengthening general aspects of the Pre-school's infrastructure", in terms of the quality of equipment and overall improvements, that will further raise the value of the Pre-school's role in the community it serves. The work of improving infrastructure was started in 200819 and continued in 202312024. Careful planning and good practice all across the board has also ensured that all costs were covered by the grants and fees, in a balanced drive to further secure the future of the Pre-school

Chairperson's Report Thank you to all the staff for doing an outstanding job and coping with each challenge during the academic year. Strong links between the community and local schools have continued to grow. The preschool is at the heart of Bellinge community, supporting the children and families, and continues to provide the best possible service for all. On behalf of the committee, I would like to thank Anabela and the team for their continued hard work and continued perseverance in finding extra funding to support the pre-school. As the pre-school struggled with the lack of Government help, we would like to thank Peter Worth for the Community fund of £11250 donated to the pre-school, and Rebecca Inman for choosing our pre-school for the Nationwide Colleague grant and awarding the setting with £10000 from Nationwide Building Society. Thank you to all the committee members that take the time to support the preschool, and I look forward to working with you this coming year.
