## **Directors Report for 1st August 2024 to 31st July 2025**
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 had a number of repairs to the building which should help preserve it for the future, we shall be conducting more repairs in the near future and some refurbishments inside to help keep it in good order and welcoming for the children.
We have bought new furniture this year and are planning to refurbish the bathroom area next.
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 will have a change of manager in the coming months and some new staff members joining us too. This will offer the preschool a chance to evolve for the future.
We are being affected by the increase in employers National Insurance and remaining thrifty with our spending to ensure that we can meet our legal responsibilities.
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 good financial position.
