’ - Manager s Report Report 2024

Good evening everyone, and thank you all very much for attending.

There is lots to report on from this past year, so I’ll begin with how we finished off at the last AGM — voting to change the Constitution to become a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) , which is governed by a Constitution.

This option has been available since 2012 and allows charities to operate without the extra administrative work associated with being a limited company — in other words, it’s simpler and easier to manage.

What Becoming a CIO Means

From a day-to-day perspective, nothing changes for your children or families. We remain the same preschool with the same dedicated team, values, and commitment to nurturing your children. This legal change is behind the scenes, but it strengthens our foundation and helps us plan confidently for the future.

The paperwork involved was extensive, but we finally obtained CIO status in July 2025 . We are now waiting for a new OFSTED EY code, which will register us as a new setting and trigger another inspection.

Staff and Class Changes

We welcomed Luc y to the Teddies Class alongside Zena and Lizzie, and Eryn moved to the Rainbows Class.

We also started the new year with a new logo, designed by one of our children last year — it’s proudly displayed everywhere!

We changed our background colours from the red we’ve had for 20 years to navy, introduced a new navy uniform and blue book bags. I think it looks much smarter, and the cotton t-shirts certainly kept everyone cooler this summer than the heavier polo shirts

Expansion and Funding Changes

In September 2025 , the 15-hour Working Parent Funding for 2-year-olds came into force. This then increased to 30 hours in April , which was a welcome but challenging change — requiring new planning to ensure we could offer more lunchtime and full-day places.

To accommodate this, the cabin room was thought of and constructed during the summer holidays. This new space allows us to offer:

increasing our overall capacity by 10 places.

Before the cabin was built, we also erected new fencing for safeguarding, and a new gate will be installed to allow access for Openreach when needed.

The cabin room was a significant investment, but we expect it to pay off through the increased number of places. It will also serve as our Tiger Class space — for rising 4s — offering more structured, school-prep activities. Previously, we had to incorporate these within the Rainbows class.

Another benefit of the new space is that it provides a quieter area for children with SEN to have individual sessions. The main classrooms can get quite busy and noisy, so this new area could be invaluable. We had several professionals visit us and support two children with SEN and operating in a busy environment was difficult especially one of the children had hearing difficulties.

We are particularly proud to have successfully obtained EHC Plans for two of our children — a difficult and lengthy process which often gets rejected, but one that ensures they receive the support they deserve at school.

Statutory Framework Changes

In March, the Government introduced a new Statutory Framework to be implemented by 1st April. One major change was that we could no longer split sessions and charge separately for lunch.

This required significant number-crunching to ensure we remained viable. While we support the principle of funded childcare, the funding does not rise in line with the national minimum wage or the cost of living, making this a real challenge.

To adjust, we had to shorten our preschool day from 8:45–3:45 to 9:00–3:30, aligning it more closely with the school day. We also introduced early drop-off and late collection options with a small charge to help recover some of the lost funding. These changes had to be implemented very quickly after the Easter break.

Complaints and OFSTED

Shortly after Easter, we received a complaint from a parent regarding how her child was settled into Rainbows Class. This was understandably upsetting, and we followed our Complaints Procedure rigorously, including meetings and witness statements from all involved staff. Unfortunately, the parent remained dissatisfied with the outcome.

Our OFSTED inspection took place in June. The inspector was extremely appreciative of the number of parents who wanted to speak with her. However, the same parent who had raised concerns took the inspector off-site for nearly an hour, which required the inspector to verify safeguarding protocols with Kent Safeguarding.

Her conclusion was that we had conducted ourselves entirely appropriately. Despite this disruption, we were awarded a solid “Good” rating. The only recommendation we received was to explore more effective ways of sharing information with individual parents who may need additional reassurance.

The report itself is filled with lovely comments about our confident, happy children who show independence and focus in their play and learning — and how well the preschool prepares them for the next stage in their education.

Parent Engagement and Events

We held two Parents’ Evenings this year — one in November and one in June.

While Tapestry continues to work wonderfully for regular updates, we find that face-to-face meetings offer valuable time to discuss any concerns and build stronger relationships with families.

In July, our school leavers, along with their families, Helen, Eryn, and Kirsty, went on a trip to Kent Life. It was a fantastic day — the children loved the animals and the coach trip, and it gave families a chance to celebrate and make memories before their children moved on to big school.

We are considering alternative options for next year, as coach and venue costs have risen considerably.

Thanks and Acknowledgements

As we begin another academic year, I’d like to thank all of our wonderful staff who work tirelessly each day, treating every child as their own and helping them become the very best versions of themselves.

Their dedication continues even into evenings and weekends as they update observations and records — it does not go unnoticed.

Finally, a huge thank you to Lydia and Mandy , who have once again taken on the tireless role of leading our fundraising efforts and have already made a fantastic start this year.

Thank you, everyone, for your continued support, commitment, and belief in what we do.
