AGM Treasurer’s Report for year 01/09/2024 to 31/08/2025
Like last year we have managed to work together and get the accounts to a surplus while continuing to build the preschool back up from covid, while the surplus is larger than it was last year we still need to keep a close eye on all expenses. I truly believe we have achieved this more so with the hard work both the manager and deputy have put into making sure we are promoting advertising and getting the preschool name out there.
With costs increasing in comparison again from 2023-24, they are consistent with the cost of living increase. We are still consistent with wages being our biggest expense but without this we would not be able to offer the children the opportunity to come to our setting to learn and flourish in the way that they do. We have also enriched the access and resources for some of our EYPP children with the funding that we have received for them.
This year had the increase in expenses with now having to provide snacks for the children due to the change in ownership of the local shop, this expense has been helped by the parents paying a contribution towards this.
Insurance has increased slightly from the previous year, which is to be expected.
Rental of the setting is the same now that the contract has been finalised, with an increase largely down to the cost of living and the cost of utilities increasing.
While we have had a positive amount of children this year, a careful watch needs to remain on spending since our income can fluctuate with decreased child numbers due to circumstances outside our control – changes of job/working hours/moving out of the area.
We continue to have positive feedback from parents, families and professionals about the setting and the team we have, this positivity can be seen throughout the setting by watching the children grow and explore new things and new topics that are tailored to their needs.
I am grateful to all of the staff who have gone above and beyond to keep the setting running, without them we would have no setting and the children would not have had the wonderful experiences they do, so from myself and all the other committee members we would like to say Thank you and we look forward to continuing this strong working partnership this coming year.
