Additional Tasks Completed by Committee:
ITgt Webslte. Facebook continued to be popular for communication with
parents/carers and a weekly summary ofthe activities undertaken continues to be
published at the end ofeach week. It is also used to provide other information about
Early Years matters.
The re-branding ofour pre-school, with a new logo, uniforms and signage was
completed with full implementation effective from the start ofthe 2023/24 Academic
year in September 2023.A lot ofwork was put into the creation ofa new website and
this will be launched In tandem with the move ofservice provider in 2023/24.
Staff/Structure. We modified the staff structure slightly to include a new, senior
position which will provide greater potential for career development among our long
serving staff. Responsibilities ofroles were adjusted slightly and the new senior role will
provide greater support to the Manager. Implementation scheduled for the start ofthe
2023/24 Academic year In September 2023.
Premises. Our landlord (Church ofOur Saviour) proposed the introduction ofa new,
formal rental agreement between us and, as part ofthis exerdse, we wlfi move onto a
new monthly bilfing agreement. Given the recent, signNcant increases in energy prices
in the UK, this Indudes the installation ofa separate electricity meter for the pre-school
in order that the exact usage can be determined. The new meter was fitted in August
2023.
Admisshns. We started the academic year with an occupancy level ofglyc and finlshed
on 9896with an overall average for the year of9114.Our Occupancy levels are a very
important driver in our flnandal performance and we were encouraged by the figures
reported
Christmas Fayre. The Christmas Fayre was very successful and contributed E1157to our
overall fundraising target. This was achieved through the diligent efforts ofCommittee
members and staff.
KO- The Pre-School renewed its registration with the information Commissioner's
ONce (ICO) as per the GDPR law. Refnumber ZA431694.
Pre-School Trip. Appropriate venues forthe annual Pre-School trip are still not as
readily available since Covld and we will look into reinstating this In the future.

However, donations have been declining and we have therefore taken measures to 'educate' our parents on how important these donations are and how the money is spent on their children. We re-named these donations as 'Child Enrichment' funds, which is more descriptive oftheir purpose. These donations
			are sought across the board.
			Against the background ofthe adverse UK economy and increasing costs, it was agreed
			that our 3-hour session cost should be increased to E18effective from September 2023.
			This is a modest increase ofEO.SO per hour.
			The two prime fundraising events are the Summer and Christmas Fayres but we also
			conduct small events within the pre-school each term e.g. cake bake/potted sunf lowers
			etc.
