Welcome everyone and thank you for jotning us today.
I'm very pleased to report that it ha5 been another successful year for Aycliffe Drive Preschool. The
number of childien on roll from this time last year has increased. and we are offering more children
30-hour funded spaces than ever before. We have a good balance of fee-paying and fLmded children. and
have found that some of those fee-paying parents are sending their children for more than the
recommended minimum 2 sessions per week. We have new starters confirmed for the summer terni. and
have already lined-up children for the Autumn terni in September, including 5 of our current children, 4
of whom are funded. I'd like to thank Mrs Hobbs and Mrs Wartnaby for the time they spend
communicating with prospective parents. 50rting the waiting list, preparing registers, ensuring that we
have all funding codes and making sure that we fit children tn where we can.
I'd also like to congratulate Cheryl Hobbs on gaining her Level 3 NVQ. and for her promotion to position
of Deputy Preschool Leader. The new management team are doing an amazing job, fully supw)rting each
other and staff, plus planning, implementing and conslantly reviewing an enrichin& educational and fun
curriculum. Any Early Years inspections we have had this year have all been positive, and it's always
mentioned how well staff know the children. We are currently awaiting an Ofsted inspectioo which is due
any time now. and I have every faith that we will be rated 'Good' or abov¢.
I would like to thank all of our s￿ff for their continued commitment to their rol¢s and the dedication
shown to the children and their families. Early years education is an essential provision, bul sometimes
feels significantly underpaid and underappr¢ciated for thc amount of work, training. and knowledge
involved. I know that staff are keen to ensure that each child in our setting will leave us with the skills,
Curiosity and enthusiasm to continue to learn in their education journey.
I would like to finish rny report by thanking the trustees for their continued supporL and the staff for their
continued hatd-work in making Aycliffe Drive Preschool a continued success. Well done ladies.
