## Trustees Annual Report 1/9/2021 – 31/8/2022 

Once again this has been an extremely busy year for Highmore Hedgehogs Nursery with high numbers of children attending. At the end of August 2022, twenty-one of our children left to join seven different Primary Schools within Herefordshire. In September 2022 we will have 35 children on the register with more due to join us in January and April 2023. The majority of the children will be in receipt of Nursery Education Funding, many of them accessing the 30 hours per week (term time) funding for working parents. 

This year the Nursery income was made up from Nursery Education Funding from the Local Authority £4.08 from September 2021 rising to £4.24 from April 2022) and Nursery fees which rose to £4.20 per hour for three and four year olds, and £4.50 per hour for younger children. Some additional funding was also received from the Apprenticeship Service. In September 2021 we took on a sixteen year old apprentice through Riverside Training in Hereford, and she will remain with us until she finishes her apprenticeship in December 2022. 

The main expenditure was on Nursery Staff Wages and rent of the premises, along with cleaning equipment & PPE, training, advertising, insurance, Ofsted, telephone/Broadband and subscriptions to our online Learning Journal system and membership of NDNA. 

The closing balance at 31.8.22 was £38,553.02. This is almost double the previous year’s closing balance, andhis is due to the retirement of one of two Managers and the workload being taken up by the remaining Manager.
