## **Urchfont Pre School CIO** # **Charity Number:1157254** ## Chair’s Report ## - September 2023 September 2024 It has been a really positive year for the Pre School, with many successes and accomplishments. First, we were delighted to welcome Sam back from maternity leave, returning as a full-time member in September. Her presence was greatly missed, and it’s wonderful to have her back on the team. A big thank you to Di, who did an excellent job stepping in as acting manager during Sam’s absence. We would also like to congratulate Sarah on completing her qualification and becoming a Level 3 Early Years Practitioner. This is a significant achievement, and we are all very proud of her hard work. Fundraising has been a real highlight this year. We hosted a well-attended quiz night, held regular bake sales, and organised a successful sponsored walk. We were also fortunate to receive a generous grant from the Urchfont Scarecrow Festival. Combined with our own fundraising efforts, we were able to build a brand-new outdoor area, which is now filled with new play equipment. This has been a fantastic addition to our setting, providing a fun and weatherproof environment for the children to enjoy. Ellice did a fantastic job refreshing our website and setting up a new Facebook page, both of which have improved our communication with parents and the wider community. We would like to extend our gratitude to Jenny Jones, Alice Mawson, Louise Barnes, and Jen Walker, who stepped down from the committee this year. Their contributions have been invaluable, and we wish them all the best. At the same time, we are pleased to welcome Claire Young, Linnea Clarke, and Lucy Hallam to the committee. Thank you for joining us. Looking ahead, we are excited about the upcoming year. Our enrolment numbers remain strong, and we have plenty of new fundraising ideas on the horizon. Here's to another successful year! Thank you to all for your continued support.
