Ducklings Stoke Climsland 6[th] Annual Report

1. Chairman’s Report

It has been another busy year for Ducklings which has continued to thrive and have a stable number of children attending and is a popular early years’ provision serving not only its local community but the wider community also. The Ducklings team have continued to work extremely hard to ensure the play setting was regularly changed to enhance the learning environment and offer a balance of free play learning and structured activities. One of the main objectives of Ducklings PreSchool is to prepare children for their transition to primary school and in this period the team helped a cohort of 16 pupils with their journeys with most of the children transitioning in to Stoke Climsland Primary School.

Cool Club

The after-school club provision – Cool Club which was run by the Ducklings Team at Stoke Climsland School ceased on 15[th] July 2022. This facility is now provided and run directly by the school.

Staff/Workforce

The Ducklings team as a whole team has worked extremely hard, been flexible and continue to go above and beyond and for this I would just like to express my gratitude and thanks. They continue to attend both mandatory and statutory training to ensure they are up to date with the latest skills and knowledge, which assists them in their jobs and keeps them current with changes to government policies and implement them within the setting accordingly.

Trips and events

There were a number of trips and events during this reporting period 1st Sept 2021 - 31st August 2022. The Ducklings team work extremely hard to organise these valuable experiences for all the children and it has been a busy period with all the below activities taking place -:

We had our annual visit from the local police and fire service, and also enjoyed the Queens Jubilee celebrations.

With Ducklings being a Charitable incorporated organisation, we need to have a committee to be able to function without the Trustee’s Ducklings would not be able to run. Therefore, if you are interested in becoming a committee member we would love to hear from you. As a committee we meet half termly and if a third of the total number of trustees are in attendance plus 1 the committee is quorate and able to make decisions. If you would like to be involved in a certain aspect for example fundraising, then we would again be very thankful for any involvement you can offer.

The future is looking very bright for Ducklings as they already have a high number of children enrolled from September 2023. Thank you all for your continued support it is very much appreciated by both the committee and Ducklings team.

2. Treasurers Report

Reporting for the financial period 1[st] September 2021 to 31[st] August 2022.
Overall Financial position – For this period the accounts show that Ducklings had a surplus of 9k, Central & SEND funding and also fees & voucher income is up on the previous year.
Expenditure/Investment – The main area of expenditure will always be staff pay and this reporting year saw an increase in the pay rates. The Trustees agreed to invest in the workforce and the turnover allowed for this. The other area of significant expenditure is the rent paid for the use of the Chapel premises. The Committee and Ducklings team continue to explore alternative longer-term options which has made some positive movement on recently so watch this space.
Fundraising – We made £890 from fundraising in this reporting period which is an increase from last year. Any money raised through fundraising will always be used to buy new equipment / learning provisions for the pre-school. Aware that a group of parents have joined forces to move forward with fundraising projects and I would just like to pass on my thanks for your support and all your efforts with this.
Future expected losses – At this point we are not aware of any projected losses.
