## Future of the preschool 

This report marks the end of an era. The preschool is no longer going to run as a committee run charity, instead being managed as a CIO. It will also mark the end of my role as chair, having served on the committee for 9 years, being chair for 7 of those. The preschool is being handed over in a really good position, with good numbers, a strong team of staff, having modern facilities and a buoyant bank account. I would like to wish the new trustees all the best in their new roles and will always be on hand to offer guidance and assistance if needed.
