I cannot praise the setting enough. all of the staff. parents and community work together to provide fantastic setting for the childn. I'd like to again open by passing praise to the staff of Ducklings over the last 12 months. Come wln, rain, shine, laughter and tantrums (from the childrenl they all give their everything. Thanks also to the committee, past and present who alway5 offer up their time and energy to support the setting. Support from parents. fundraisers and the local community will be increasingly important to Ducklings in the coming years, as settings up and down the country are feeling the strain of increased running costs and an unofficial recession. We need as much support as we can getl I've conf1rmed to Michelle and to the committee that l am happy to be nominated to continue in this role, should the committee wish to still have me on boardl Onwards and Upwardsl Chris Newman- Chairrnan
