ust 2025
The academic year September 2024- August 2025 has been another successful year for Turvey
Pre-school, with continued commitment from our dedicated stsff, committee rnembers and families.
Throughout the year we have remained focused on providing a safe, nurturing and stimulatt'ng
environment where children can learn. develop and thrive.
The Pre-school has continued to maintain consistent numbers for children attending Pre-school
sessions and provide high Quality early years education.. despite ongoing challenges including
increasing operational costs. staffing requirements and the continued need to maintain our historic
listed building. The Before and After school club was consistently high in number until the Summer
term where we did See 3 significant drop in attendance due to the government funded free breakfast
club scheme brought to Turvey Primary School.
To allow continuation of child focused ratios in response to rising costs, notably the 6.7% increase in
National Minimum Wage and the ¢hange in employer NJtional Insurance thresholds, fees were
increased in-line with this in April. However. in an effort to support families and encourage uptake
following reduced attendance. Breakfast Club fees were reduced from £5.50 to £5.00 per session,
with the aim of maintaining affordability while still workin8 towards coverin8 operational tosts.
Additionally After school fees were not in¢￿ased.
We continue to enjoy strong links with Turvey Primary School. During the year the school introduced
a Breakfast Bistro, which has impacted attendance at our Breakfast Club. Despite this, our before and
after school provision remains an important service for loc31 families, and we continue to adapt to
meet changing community needs. During the year we also experienced a long-term staff absence,
which was managed through the dedication of our existr'ng team who covered additional hours to
ensure continuity of Care. Their commitment and flexibility have been greatly appreciated and are a
real credit to the fantastic staff team we have.
This year we have continued to invest in enriching Child￿n,5 experiences through the use of Social
Deprivation Funding. We welcomed Jo jingles, who delivered engaging music and movement
sèssions, providing valuable learning Opportunities and enjoyable èxperiènces for the children. We
also welcomed Herrings Green Farm. whose Birds of Prey educational visit proved to be another
memorable experience, allowing children to learn about wildlife through interactive activities.
Thanks to the dedication of our staff and committee, the Pre-school has continued to offer an
excellent standard of care and education for all children.
One of the most significant development5 this year has been the commencement of long-awaited
building maintenance. Following 5UCtessful grant applications to both the Harpur Trust (monies due
after August 251 and Bedford Borough Council1£2(X)O paid to Pre-school in July). roof and chimnev
restoration works began on 19 July 2025 with an initial payment prior to start of work of £9000. As a

Grade 11 listed building. these repairs have required extensive planning and specialist contractors, and
the works are progressing well. We look forward to their completion during the Autumn term.
representin8 an important investment in preserving the Pre-school building for future generations.
The Pre-school community once again came together to support several successful fundraising
events throughout the year. Our annual Easter Trail and Toddle Waddle were both well supported by
families and the wider community, helping to raise valuable funds towards the ongoing maintenance
nd improvement of the Pre-%thool. During the Summer holidays, beginning on 24 July 2025,
volunteers also gave their time to redecorate areas of the P￿-sChool through organised painting
evenings, helping to refresh the learning environment for the children.
Profe55ional development ¢ontr"nves to be a priority for our staff team. We are delighted that Natalie
successfully completed her Level 4 Advanced Practitioner qualification during the year. Staff continue
to undertake regular training to ensure the Pre-school maintains the highest standards of early years
education, safeguarding and care.
The committee has continued to provide strong governance throughout the year, supporting the
leadership team through policy reviews. fundraising initiatives. grant applications and building
projects. We remain extremely grateful for the commitment shown by committee members,
volunteers and families whose support is essential to the ongoing success of the Pre-school.
In July our long-term chair, Madeline Anderton, announced her decision to step down and leave the
committee at the next AGM in the Autumn. Continued support across the changeover period, and
beyond if required, wa5 offered and gratefully received. This represents a big change and loss of
experience but new approaches and experiences are always valuable in committee formats, and
continued evolution of committee recruiting and involvement are essential for the contr'nuation of
the running of the Pre-school.
Lookin8 ahead, we remain committed to enhancing our le3rnin8 environment, SUPPOrtSn8 the
professional development of our staff. strengthening committee membership and continuing to
secure external fundin8 to maintain and improve our facilities. We will also continue to provide
enriching learnln8 Opportunities thai give every child the very best start to thelr educatlon.
The committee would like to thank our staff, volunteers. families, fundin8 organisations and the
wider community for their continued support throughout another successful year.
