## **Trustees Report – year ended 31[st] March 2022**
Following a change in chair in February 2021 after an OFSTED visit which resulted in us getting an inadequate rating, this was based on lack of policies and lack of compliance within the committee not doing what was required . This was due to years of having high turnover of committee members and lack of handovers or training. As chair, my first job was to fill all roles to form a functioning and working committee . I worked alongside Vickie and Nic to put together a financial policy, attend training including safeguarding and safer recruitment amongst lists of other work.
All committee members had to have a DBS , EY2 form , safeguarding training and had to be registered with OFSTED and the charity commission . Regular committee meetings are held as are management meetings to ensure the efficient running and decision making.
We have had success with fundraising this year which has helped to keep pre school running and provide much needed new resources. I contacted Northcourt Road Church food bank asking if we could be eligible as are a charity, this was met with an amazing delivery of so much food we could keep the children well fed at snack time and gave them a chance for cooking and messy play. this also enabled us to help those in need within the community . We had building work carried out creating a proper office and a small side room we are finishing for meetings with parents as it’s a private and confidential space. We were lucky to have some professional photos of pre school done to help us with advertising and to update our social media sites.
All staff and committee canvassed local areas advertising our setting which has led to new children coming. I am also in the process of having the gardens done via a grant to improve the outside space. It has been a very busy yet rewarding year.
There have been other improvements however these ones are the committee led ones so is a great example of what can be achieved when a committee is ran correctly.
The latest Ofsted carried out last October has now given us a requires improvement however many aspects were rated good. I would like to thank all staff for working so hard and supporting each other through this as it has not been easy, multiple hours have been worked to save our pre school as it really was touch and go due to lack of previous management compliance. Thank you, Vickie, and Nic for being so supportive of my role and always answering my sometimes 100 questions, I couldn’t do this without you.
Like many community pre – schools , some of which have unfortunately had to close , we have seen the continued impact of Covid which alongside the current financial climate has brought its challenges . With more home working, parents are booking shorter or fewer sessions than we would usually see, the high number of funded places we have felt the need to offer including the introduction of 30 hour funding this year has had an impact on our finances We unfortunately lost breakfast club and had to carry out a significant and much needed salary review equally impacting us financially
The preschool can only work and continue with the support of the parents, guardians and members of the community supporting us. We would welcome anyone to join us that feels they can help by either fundraising, helping with our social media sites or just a general committee member to help in the smooth running of the preschool .
