WEST DEAN PRESCHOOL TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 Achievements and perfomance Significant activities and achievements againsl objectives Staffing and finance The Autumn terrn 2024 was an extremety quiel start wth onty 14 thildren on role and session fulfiknent rale of 39%. Thi5 was a considerable drop from the Summer 2024 at 71.9% and due to the exft of seven school leav￿5 8nd Iwo mid-term transfers, with no feal Wa￿"ng list ready to fill the gaps. However. these lowei numbers enabled us tts continue to work with just three members in Ihe slaffing leam as attendance demand did not require more than two staff in per day and numbers were capped al 13 daity. As the year progressed, numbers remained low, increasing to a session fulfilment rate ol onfy 54.8°k al the end ol the academic year. For much of the year. certain days were exceptionalty quiet, rneaning that finances were merety breaking even on staffing costs alone on these days. The profit and loss report demon51r8tes a £12k loss over Ihe course of the academic year. The Autumn 2024 eslimales payment actualty lalls Into the 2023-24 ffinanaal year, meaning that the Autumn 2025 estsmates would ordinanly have fallen into the 2024-25 financial year. However, due to a change in the structure of the funding payments, the Autumn 2025 estimates are now paid in Ihe correcl corresponding finanaal year. meaning that the profit and loss for 2024-25 is subsequenlty missing around £S.Sk worlh of income. A more accurate representation ol the year is a loss of £6.5k and is due to the fact that staffing ojsts remain fixed IcArca £50kl whilst income was drasts'cally reduced Icirca £49kl. This year was 8 very stable one with regards lo staffing. Eaty years educator.

Leah Stanford continues to work on Stage 3 and 4 01 the development plan set in place for managerial development and has provided the team with knowsedgeable support and direction wrth regards lo SEND information. Bulldlng plan• Discussions began in previous years regardin9 the polential for improving the building or location of the preschool. Al the beginning of the year. several meetings had been held befr￿en Mr Chris Williams, He¥dte8¢her of Wesl Dean P￿rnary School, Mr lan Graham, Head of ￿$1 Dean Eslate. Luue Davies and members of the Committe&. A lew solutions had been discussed. one being a potential relocation further onto the school site. West Dean Estate then kindty paid lor some Inrtial architectural drawngs to be produced as potential space solutions. However, the raising ol funds for this would pose a huge challenge. West Dean Estate Ihen proposed a second sile within the village and the 5tsff team along wrth key members ol the Commrtlee visiled the sile lo asses5 Potents'al. The building itsef was not SUlt8ble as it Was. so discvssions were had about potenlial change5 and devdopmenl lo m8ke il u$8ble. Unfortunalety, the build ¢o$ts to Wesl Dean E$lale woukl mean 8 2000QA in¢ie8$e in rental Costs for the prèschool And is th8relore simpty not a viablè option. It has therefore ￿trn decidèd th8t ojrrènt availablè monies will be put towards Improving the current building. induding the front fa￿de, decking a￿a. intemal krtchen configuration and ad￿￿On ol a proper staff officelrest room. Sustalnablllty plans Throughout this academic year. the altendance dats has been extremety low. Earty in the year. a survey was conducted with current, pasl and potential lfrom the primary school) parenls to lry and ascertain ch'ldcare need and whether there was Potential or capabilty for Ihe preschool lo fv￿1 this requirement. Discussions have been held amongst the committee, considenng the extension of opening htsuts tts better CAter for some working families, although this wll not extend to full day care hours. At the end of the Summei 2025, an application was made to the West Sussex Funding team to extend funded hours lo 30 hours per week and opening hours which will be fee paying. We have not yet received a deasion to the application. Staff recrulthient With consideration being given to longer opening hours. it wil be necessary to employ further staff. nol just to fulfil any increase in demand to open lo full rapacty of 17 thildren per day. but also to cA)ver any lunchbreaks required due to longei staff working hours. Ratio requirement5 stipulated in the Early Years Framework differ b85ed on whether there are 2 tsr 3 qualthed members of staff in setting. Wlh onty 2 staff wuired in ratio, any lunchtime covei will also need to be fulty qualified. Wrth 3 staff required in ratb). lunchtime cover can be fuffiled by an unqualified member of staff. The recruthent Pr(￿S$ will begin eaty in the Autumn 2025 terni.

WEST DEAN PRESCHOOL TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 Funding and voluntary charges The preschool is largety onty able to survive because it is a charity. and that controls some of the fixed costs. The higher funding rate for FE funded 2 ye8r olds has actualty improved some income. as thus far. the preschool has not h8rged a drfferent rate for 2 year old5. de5Prte the higher staffing ratios. therefore eaming rnore pei hour for funded two year olds than we do lor fee paying children. In reality though, not many of our 2 year olds actually qualify for the working famity funding, which raises the questions as to whelher our fee charges should be more lor 2 year olds to account for higher staff ratios. The 30 hour FE scheme now provides an hourly rate that is quite dosely in line with our own rates, and these fee paying figU￿S need to be considered in order lo better meet costs. I parent5 this year have opled in lo paying ihe minimal contribution for snack fees. resulting n an addrtional £1.156.84 income. The opty'on was also given lo'overpay invoirEs in te￿5 of a voluntary contribution which would go directly into preschool resour￿$. P8renl contributions across the 18tter end of the financial year totslled £128.35 and will be a continued option next year. The private lees were reviewed in March 2024 and set to ncrease from September 2024, with a 15tsh Increase across the board. The private fees have not been reviewed during this financial year. The committee remains mindful ol the p￿4choOl'S commitment lo provide affordable Earty Years provision to the local community and carehjl considerabon was taken lo ensure fees remain well belcth those of private nurseries or similar preschools in the area. However. the general rising costs le.g. renvresourcesl ulilitieslNLW). combined wrth 8 drop in role numbers. we need to tt)nsidtrr an approach which dis¢rimin3le8 be￿een 213 year old ¢hildren. 11 continu8$ lo be importsnt Ihal lh& Commrttee rai$&s it$ profile 7•rithin th$ pa￿nI ¢ommunity, inviting new memb&r$ to be Involve¢J in fundraisin9 activrties and future proofing the Commrttee lor the coming years.
