Marsh Green Annual General Meeting Tuesday 12 November 2024 Trustees Report

Thanks to our dedicated and wonderful team at the preschool, including manager Rebecca, Business Manager Lin and the whole team, the Trustees have again had a quiet and happy year.

THE TEAM

The trustees would like to thank Rebecca Shipp for her continued exceptional management of the preschool, which has meant not only is the preschool full, but the children have benefited from many great new initiatives such as the new literacy corner, and wonderful seasonal events such as the Christmas play, Easter Egg hunt and graduation ceremony for school leavers.

We would also like to thank the whole team; Deputy Manager Sophia, Julie, Lucy, Carly, Sam and Tayla for your continued dedication to the preschool, and for helping to make Marsh Green a highly regarded childcare setting.

Thank you also to Lin Larmer, our diligent and dedicated Business Manager who ensures the preschool runs smoothly behind the scenes.

TRUSTEES

We welcomed two new trustees this year; Clare Brewer and Olivia Tee, who are also current parents at Marsh Green Preschool.

A huge thank you to Clare, Olivia, Jenny and Mei for being such dedicated trustees.

Sadly we are due to say goodbye to Mei tonight as she steps down from her role as trustee. Mei, we would like to thank you for all you have done for Marsh Green Preschool, both in your role as trustee and as former business manager. Please do keep in touch!

I am also planning to hand over my reins as Chairperson in 2025. Sadly due to personal and work commitments, I feel I am no longer able to dedicate the time that this role deserves. I am therefore looking for a replacement Chair. If you are interested in taking on the role please do let me know. I will be stepping down by the end of the summer term, but it would be helpful to have our new Chair in place in the new year so I can help to provide a full handover with you. I will also remain a trustee at Marsh Green for the foreseeable future – I’m not ready to say goodbye yet even once my youngest child leaves for school in July 2025!

Over the past year the trustees’ key priorities have included:

Assisting Rebecca and Lin to help with decisions about the day to day running of the preschool
Ensuring staff salaries are rewarded and recognised in line with inflation and performance
Reviewing policies and procedures

Thank you again to the whole team and all the trustees.

Your level of commitment and hard work speaks volumes about the ongoing success of Marsh Green Preschool.
