## **AGM Treasurer’s Report for year 01/09/2019 to 31/08/2020** 

We have ended the year on a positive, which has largely come from staffing while we have been managing with the staff we have this is a lot lower then we have previously had. 

- Although costs have decreased in comparison to 2018-19, they are consistent year on year. The increased spend on ‘cleaning’ – is in relation to the covid 19 pandemic which was needed to carry on the success of having the setting open following government guideline. While the number of children  number of children on roll during the school year did improve the pandemic did have an affect on all. The Treasurer thanks all the staff for maintaining an excellent learning journey and happy environment for all the child and parents to be a part of. 

- Fundraising income has decreased in comparison to the previous years largely due to the pandemic and restrictions put in place so no spring/ summer events were able to take place, with the continued efforts of the staff, committee members and parents we are hoping the coming year will be better. 

- Insurance has increased slightly from the previous year in line with current inflation. 

- Advertising costs have decreased on the past years mainly due to the pandemic and having restrictions on how much we can do within the setting. We have continued to improve our presence on social media which has proven every popular with some of the new parents enquiring about the setting. 

- We currently have very little extra spent on extra room hire due to the pandemic but hopefully this will improve in the coming year with restrictions easing.  The usage of extra rooms for activities such as circuits is very beneficial to the children; especially in preparing the school leavers for starting school. 

- Monthly rental costs have decreased since last year due to a rental break to the Village Hall, we have continued the arranged set amount and have agreed a decrease while we are unable to run at full capacity. 

## **Treasurer’s suggested actions for the coming year:** 

- Fundraising covid permitting will need to be increased, this is a vital income – one on which the preschool relies upon. 

- We will continue to work with the village hall in the coming year depending on restrictions and attendance of children. 

- The reserve account continues to cover all ‘closing down’ costs. This is updated each year in accordance with an extra years’ service for each staff member. 

After now being on the committee for 3 years and seeing all the hard work everyone puts into all that is involved into keeping the preschool running, I am grateful to all the committee and staff past and present for their dedication, teamwork and commitment. 



I believe that the preschool will continue to grow with all the support and help given by all involved. 

Debra Beachus-Wells, Treasurer
