Treasure Island Playgroup
Manager’s Report September 2025
Things are fairly settled at the moment (touch wood). Most new children have settled well – just the odd one that is taking longer. Numbers are average for this time of year with a good intake expected in January and in April.
Our annual accounts are collated and the final report shows a very good profit. Our bank balance is back to a healthy amount and we are now in a position to ‘ring-fence’ some money for emergency purposes.
Toddler group has been quiet since returning in September. It is making enough to break even each week and there are reserves from our holiday specials. Other groups are reporting the same issue and we are hopeful that numbers will pick up soon.
Suzanne from Hampshire Healthy Families recently ran a Two and Beyond workshop (formerly School Readiness). This is a new format for Suzanne and covers a lot of topics. We discussed the session after and have agreed to run a workshop each term, focusing of 3 or 4 elements each time.
We are currently completing our sponsored walk – using the cross-trainer to walk 2000 metres across the week. Funds raised are expected to be lower than previous years given the lower cohort. We will be looking at buying and developing fruit bushes with any money raised.
Our Christmas Fayre is booked for 28[th] November with a new time of 5.00 until 7.00. We will be selling tokens for our stalls for the first time this year, as we do with the summer fayre. This will hopefully help with maintaining cash floats.
Our summer fayre raised just over £300, with a refreshments stall, lucky dip, hook-a-duck, and a tombola. Despite a downpour in the middle, it was a good day and that farm was well received as usual.
Thank you to all the committee members for your support, and welcome to the new members. I look forward to working with you all over the next year.
