## **Directors Report for 1st August 2023 to 31st July 2024**
On completion of another successful year for the setting we have again seen an increase in demand for all of our services. The introduction of more funded hours for more children has led to many of our sessions running at capacity with waiting lists being introduced. Our wrap round services are also doing well and some after school club sessions are full. These higher number of attendees have brought in a rise in both our Early Years grant funding and parent paid sessions.
We have recently conducted a review of how far our children are travelling to attend our sessions and can see that they are spread over a much wider area from previous years, some are travelling over 25 miles to attend our Holiday Club sessions.
We have made good use of the higher interest rates available on our bank account over the last year and will be purchasing new furniture for the setting over the coming weeks.
Fundraising activities held by this year's committee, volunteers and staff have seen successful events at Christmas and Easter with the funds being most welcome towards extras for the children. A huge thank you to everyone who has participated in these events.
We continue to regularly review our staff pay and now offer more employment to more people due to the number of children using our services. We aim to support staff in their continued professional development where we can and remain a competitive and attractive employer within the childcare sector. We have many long serving staff members and we thank them for continuing to offer such professional services to the local community. We are aware that the increased numbers has led to a disruption to staff break times and we are actively looking to provide a solution to this in the next few months to provide staff with a quiet space to have their well deserved breaks.
All staff and committee members have been very supportive to the setting over the last financial year and we are moving into the new term in a strong financial position.
