CHAIR’S REPORT
This has been a very challenging year due to the Covid Pandemic which has had a big impact on the Pre-school. We made a loss of £212 this year compared to a profit of £1,245 last year, which was still very good under the circumstances.
We started the year with 60% attendance and the Monday and Tuesday afternoon were very popular right from the start of term. Unfortunately we then had to close our doors due to Covid 19. We refunded or credited everyone that had already paid. We made a decision that we would pay staff 100% of their wages whilst we were closed. WSCC continued to fund the Free Entitlement and we were able to claim a small amount from the Job Retention Scheme. We thought we would be able to claim the full amount but the Department of Education decided that we could only claim the percentage of our payroll from paying parents. We also did not pay rent during this time.
In fund raising news we raised a total of £1,669. Staff were sponsored to handle some snakes and spiders and this raised a huge £717, which was well deserved. The Christmas Fair raised £228 and we had a sponsored bounce which raised £377. We would to thank all the parents and committee members who contributed to the fund raising and helped to raise such a large amount of money in the difficult circumstances.
Items purchased with fund raising included an equipment trolley, book case, some rugs, sensory toys, home corner panels and an art easel. We also used some fund raising money towards the staff uniforms.
In staff news, Kim has done a wonderful job after taking over from Katy, with the help of Jo Taylor as her deputy. We welcomed Jo Creasey to the team in November 2019. We would like to thank all the staff for the fantastic way they have implemented the new Covid guidelines, with all the challenges that involved.

In the coming year, things are looking good even with the lockdowns. We started with 33% attendance, but children’s numbers have now increased to 73%. We were paid the Free Entitlement with the expected numbers for the Spring term rather than those that were attending. We also applied for and were successfully awarded a Contain Outbreak Management Fund of £890 which will help towards any Covid costs that we have had previously and in the future.
The Financial Report is attached.
