LINDFIELD PRE-SCHOOL NURSERY Trustee Report for the Financial Year 2024-2025 Overview of ilndfleld Pre-school Nursery: Lindfield Pre-school Nursery ￿ dedicated to providing highquality early childhood education and operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organlsation ICIOI. The nursery's Charitable purpose is the advancement of education through play-based learnin& preparing children for primary school and beyond. The trijstees and management committee oversee governance, policy. and flnanclal perfomiance, ensuring all deci5ion5 remain aligned with Lindfield'5 charitable objectives. This year marks the nurserfs 50 year in business which is quite an achlevement. Tru5tee5 arKI Governan￿. During the 2024-25 financlal year, the trustees were Lil Wa15h, Jane Moir, and Rob Skepper. Liz Walsh has since stepped down, and the trustees would like to thank her Sincerely for her time, guidance, and support during hertenure. Two prospecttve trustees have been Identlfled and are experted to be formalfy appointed thi5 evening. The nursery continues to be managed day-to-day by Co-supervisors luy Tollerfield and Nicky Feakes, supported by Deputy Supervisor Lauren Joiner. Trustees meet at least termly to review operational perfomiance, financial outcomes, and strateglc directlon. This year Saw further professional1sat￿In of Lindfield's HR and Bovernance framework. Staff moved to new contracts under a new staff handbook, rnodernisin8 employment practice5 and providing clearer protection for both the nursery and employees. Thè trustees thank the staff for their positive engagement and cooperation during this transriion. Objertlves: Lindfield's mission remains to provide inclusive, high-quality earty years education that supports every child's individual development, regardless of background or ability. The nursery continues to deliver the governmenys funded 30 hours of f￿e education for 3- and 4-year-0ld5 and participates in the extended ftjnding programme for 2-year-olds. Lindfield works dosely with Buckinghamshire Council to provide funded place5 for eli8ible familie5 and to support thIld￿n with speclal educational needs. Financial Review: For the flnantSal year endin8 31 July 2025. Lindfield recorded: Total income.. £415,485 Total expendlture: £371,521 Net surplus.. £43,152 This represents an increase in income of £64,940118%1 and an increase in expendtture of £80,191 127%> compared with the previous financial year12023-24'. income £350,545; expenditure £292,142; 5urplu5 £58,403). The surplus was 26% lower than the previous year, this is a healthy 5urplu5, whilst the decline might appear significant, it reflects a deliberate decislon to rnaintain higher staffing ratios and invest in the people and resources that underpin the quality of the setting. The trustees consider this an appropriate balance between sustaining excellent provbsion and managing finances prudently in the face of a rlsing cost base. The healthy surplus achleved during the year was a as resutt of prudent budgeting as we were unsure hov4 the introduction of the new tw￿year-Old fvnding stream would affect the budget, a

blgger than expected rise in the funding rate and the need to maintaln the suwlus In order to react to the projected fall in the local blrth rate overthe corning years. The canopy and garden project was completed SUC￿$sfUllY during the summer holidaysi creating 0 more versatile and weatherproof outdoor space for the children. Although the work was undertakèn before the year-end, the final invoice1£25,3271 was paid in September 2025 and is reflected in accounts payable on the balance sheet. The total project cost was approximately £35,OLX), funded partlally by internal reserves and by a grant from Buckinghamshire Councll Early years of £15,000 whlch we would like to thank them for. For the second conseojtive year, all staff received pay rises. Some Increases We￿ the result of the statutory National Living WaBe uplrfi, while others were awarded on a discretionary basis in recognition of individual contribution and experience. The trustees wlsh to record their heartfelt than￿ to the entire staff team. Llndrield 15 a people-led 5ettin& and it ￿ the dedThtion, skill, and warmth of the staff that c￿ate such a remarkable environment for the children. The trustees remain pleased with Lindfield's financial resilience. A well-managed contingency fund continues to provide a strong buffer against sector-wlde fundlng and c05t pressures. Funding Model Changes: As referenced in last yearfs report, the government introduced ￿rther significant changes to the early years funding model during 2025. These were announced at very short notice in late March 2025, leavlng little time for nurseries to implement changes or even inform parents and carers in advance. Because the announcement came just before the end of the spring term. there was insufficient time to provide the usual half-terni's notice of any fee adjustments. The most materlal ¢hange required that no funded hours could be placed behind a "paywall., affecting how nurserie5 charge for extras such as snacks and consumables. For Lindfield and many similar settings this represented a major challenge to the existing fee strutture. Llndfield prides itself on being one of the most accornrnodating nurseries in the area, offering families exceptional flexibility in attendance pattern5. Start and finish times, and lunch-time optlons. To comply with the new funding model while preserving this flexibility, Lindfield introduced voluntary consumables fees and simpltfied the overall fee structure in line with the new government guidance. The vast majority of parents have continued to pay voluntary contributions and the twstees would like to thank parents and carers fortheir understanding and 5UPPQrt during these adjustments, whlch were necessary to remain compliant while wntinuing to provide the highest possible level of choice and accessibility. Lindfield continues to waive the consumables charge for our disadvantaged famllies. Sector Developments and Local Context: The wider early years secior continues to evotve. The expansion of government funding for younger children from nlne months old frorn September 2024, and fully rolled out by September 2025-has shtfted some of the financial responsibility for childcare from parents to the state. While the policy aims to make childcare more affordable, It also IntrodU￿S Un￿rtaInty for nurseries around both funding rates and demand patterns. Llndfleld turrently accepts children aged two and above, $0 tt ￿MainS to be seen how the availabiltty of funded places for younger children will affect demand. Locally, there is ongoing churn in Amersham's childcare provision, with some settings closing. others changing their business models

and a new large corporate nursery opening in Old Amersham. Early indlcations suggest minlmal Immedlate impact, but the trustees continue to monitor this closely. A broader demographlc t￿ntI is abo emerging- there are fewer young children in the area, refleued In local primary school adm￿s1on$ data, where many schoo15 were unable to fill their reception classe5 this year-quite a change from the pre-pandemic period of oversubscription. Operatlonal Hl8hll8hts: The successful completion of the canopy and outtloor area project has provided enhanced all- weather play and learning space, sUPPOrting the children'5 physical development and outdoor learning opportunities. Llndfield's most recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2024, ratèd the nursery 35 "Good" reaffirmlng the high standards of education and care provided. There have been no further regulatory developments during 2024-25 but a new in5pertion framework will come into force in November 2025 which we are preparing for. The nursery contlnues to serve the needs of its chlldren. parents, carers. and staff, maintaining strong communitytrust and excellent feedback. Staff turnover remain5 low, and ongoing professional devèlDpment opportunities continue to be encouraged. Future OLrtlook.. Looking ahead to 2025-26, the trustees remaln focused on maintalning high educatlonal standards while navigating ongoing financial and demographic challenges. The next increase in the National Minimum Wage and changes in National Insurance contributions will again place upward pressure on costs. There are no immediate plans for further capital investment, but the trustees welcome suggestions for future improvements that would benefit children, staff. and familie5 alike. The decllning number of young children In the local area, combined with a more complex fundlng environment, represents a key strategic risk Nonetheless, Lindfield's reputation, 5tability* and dedlcated team place It in a strong wsttlon to contlnue thrlvlng withit) a changlng early years landsLzpe.
