Trustees Annual Report 2024-2025
During 2023-2024 we made changes to our practice to do all we could to reduce our overheads following the loss made the previous.
Our staff continued to support all children within our setting by planning exciting and stimulating activities based around our favourite books. Making potions in our tough tray, with herbs, water and glitter was thoroughly enjoyed by children and staff. Old cardboard tubes also made excellent brooms to ride around our garden!
We joined our local scrap store, gathering a wealth of different materials, paper, postcards, pots, tubes, stickers and bags which we then used to share with our families by providing, end of term craft bags for children to enjoy during the holidays.
We spent a weekend re-vamping our outdoor provision to provide zones of interest for the children including a construction area, barked area, tyres for growing plants and a new screened area enclosing our patio area.
In May 2025, we also had an Ofsted Inspection and were awarded a ‘Good’ outcome. Ofsted recognised that our planned curriculum was ‘responsive to the interests and characteristics of the current cohort with a particular emphasis on outdoor play and physical activities’. They also described our staff as a ‘dedicated and cohesive team’.
We completed a successful transition for our school leavers with 21 children leaving in July 2025 to begin the next step of their learning journey into mainstream education.
On the last day of the academic year, we again went to Raze the Roof play area in Penryn where the children had a morning of fun weaving in and out of the different cages and slides. The event was a fun and enjoyable way to celebrate the successes of the year!
Finally, our After-School provision in Bibbles had another successful year and the income has contributed towards the costs of providing pre-school education. With ever increasing costs of wages, heating, food and consumables together with the need to support all of our children, the year ended in a financial loss. Again, sadly, we only saw a minimal increase in our funding rates which did not match the escalating costs of the National Living Wage, National Insurance costs, and energy costs.
