As of September 2025 the EYFS changed and focuses highly on safeguarding, food safety, food allergies, absences and emergency contacts. Sustainability is also featured highly, Natasha and Ellen are investigating ways the preschool can achieve this. Kim and Becca are introducing home learning packs for children and parents to do together to enhance their learning. Andrea and Liane are working together to create a communication group for children who are in the early stages of their language development which will, in turn, help school readiness. We have updated both our home corner and mud kitchen using a grant from Tesco's, we are now using otherfundraisingto purchase a new reading den for the garden. This year Kim completed her level 3 in childcare and we have also recruited Natasha and Layla. This means that all our staff are fully qualified. Overallthis has been a busyyearfor preschool and I take this opportunityto praise staff for all their hard work. Preschool is looking busyfor September 2026-July 2027 with regular enquiries throughout the year. inancial Re eare din 5: Income increased by nearly 4k, a smaller 07120L increase than previous yearwhich was a £1 Ok increase. There has been an £8k increase in staff wages due to increase in minimum wage. Parent fees have decreased byjust over £1 Ok but funding has increased by 12k, this is due to the majority of parents receiving the 30hr working parents funding or 2 yr disadvantaged funding. Resources and office costs have increased by £1 k after the previous years reduction in costs. This is not of concern. Overall preschool is in a strong position having built up a good amount of cash and moving into 2025-2026 we look to be in a good position to weather any unknown circumstances. L(Litnkn We are lookingto replicate the success of last years Christmas raffle so would Is as many parents as possible to help with prize donations. The Christmas lights switch on remains one of our main funding sources and all chocolate donations are gratefully received! The Christmas sing-a-long on Dec 3, is open to allfamily and friends and this is when the raffle th takes place. On December 9 we have our Christmas grotto party with a visit from Santa, tickets are £5 and include a small gift. As we are a charity run preschool these events and parent participation are essential to keep the preschool open and continue to make purchases to enhance the children's learning and fun! We are always seeking new committee members so please speak to Charlotte if you are interested.

HEDGE END VILLAGE HALL PRESCHOOL Financlal Re ort for the ear ended 31.07.25 The income for the period was £142,315 with expenditure being £144,314. Therefore, the Preschool have made a small loss of the year of £1,999. The bank balances as at 31 July 2025 were. Account 53732405 48,713.86 Account 53732421 7,387.08 Account 53732413 10,906.73 Petty Cash 179.65 Income increased last year by nearly £4k, which is a smaller increase then the previous year which was a £IOk increase. Paying fees from parents has decreased byjust over £IOk and funding but Hampshire County Council has increased by £12k. Fundraising has also increased this year by £1600. With only a £4k increase in income, there has been a £9k increase in costs whgich has led to the small loss. After last years reduction in resources and office costs, they have slightly gone up again by an extra £lk. There has been a £8k increase in staff wages due to wage increases in the year, however, this is not a cause of concern. We continue to use NEST as our pension provider. There are no other significant increases to report. I believe that the Preschool, having built up a good amount of cash, is in a strong financial position moving into 25/26 to continue with a healthy cashflow and to weather any unknown circumstances that may arise.
