Little Snoring Pre-school Trustee Annual General Meeting 10[th] October 2023 

## Chair’s Report 

Thank you to all staff and trustees for the work that they have carried out over the past year and to the families for their continuing support. 

Pre-school re-opened in September with reasonable numbers of children attending, initially 15 children on role with 2 more children to start after half term.  We do not have many children on our waiting list for later in the year although we are aware of eligible children in the village, who may take up places. 

## Fees / Funding 

- NCC is in the process of carrying out a survey and consultation of our local funding rates and settings have been asked to complete a questionnaire. 

- Fees are currently £5.40 an hour.  Our ‘optional’ Consumable Charge is £10.00 per month, per family. 

- April 24 sees the start of the phased introduction of the government’s plan for funded childcare, for children of eligible working parents, from the age of 9 months old. It will start with eligible 2 years old being able to have up to 15 hours a week and eventually by Sept 25 eligible children from 9 months old will be able to have up to 30 hours a week. 

## Fundraising 

- Bags 2 School collection has been booked 2[nd] November 2023. 

- We held a nursery photo session in July which was quite well supported.  We raised £67.12 and will be finding out from parents whether it is worthwhile organising again for next summer. 

- We have been raising funds from selling second hand uniform and small raffles. 

## Staffing 

- The number of staff remains at five. One staff member has taken on an additional job providing maternity cover at the local primary school. 

- All staff hours have been reduced, until number of hours’ children are booked in increases. 

- We have been approached by a student from College of West Anglia for a work placement. 

## Training 

- All staff are up to date with First Aid, Manager needs to update Food Hygiene, several staff members are due to update Child Protection and Designated Safeguarding Lead Practitioner over the coming year. 

- A staff member completed an Outdoor Learning Course and SENCO completed two Communication Champion courses.  Well done! 

- Three staff are currently on a longer training course. This is the Early Years Professional Development Program which is funded by the DfE. 

## Future Ideas 

- Staff are currently designing and putting together story / learning sacks which will be loaned out to parents. 

- Organising story cafes, stay and play sessions to invite parents into the setting. 

- Hold an Open Day in the spring or summer to promote the pre-school. 

- Inviting other professionals in to discuss dental health, fire and rescue and police?
