Little Teapots Pre-school AGM
Wednesday 13th November 2024
Chair Persons Report
Little Teapots is a registered charity run by a voluntary committee. The committee consists of a Chair, a Vice Chair, a Treasurer, a Secretary, and several other members, as well as Linda and Jenny, who are practitioners within the setting. There are nine employees, two of whom are full-time and the remaining 7 are part-time. We operate from 8 am to 4 pm and offer a breakfast club, morning session, lunch, and an afternoon session. We have achieved four Outstanding Ofsted inspections and follow the Early Years Framework.
This year has been a productive financial year as part of our two year financial cycle ,with the new governments 2-year-old funding scheme. This scheme saw 2-year-old funding increase to £7.38 for more eligible two year olds. Our large intake of over 25 two year olds in 2024 would then decrease in early years funding once they turn 3 years to £5.21.
Fundraising events have included Santos Grottos, coffee mornings, themed arts and crafts mornings, and raffles. These have all been supported by local companies like Chedburgh Plant Centre, Asda’s at Bury St Edmunds, The National Trust, and our families. A total of £3291.59 was achieved. We also received donations, and we thank these individuals too.
We are currently at full capacity.
Highlights of the year:-
A new perimeter fence and gate. New artificial grass Revamp on the Wendy's house Revamp of the Learning Hub A visit to Glastonbury Court
Talks and experiences given to the children by local professionals, eg The Dentist and The Vicar.
This year the committee has grown in numbers. I thank them for giving up their free time, as I thank all the committee members for their time and contributions that have secured a successful year. It is with sadness that I announce that some of our long-standing members will be leaving us. Annika, Rede, and I will all be stepping down and no longer continuing our Little Teapots Journey.
On a personal note, I am truly sorry I have not been able to join you this evening. My time at Teapots has been incredible and I am privileged to have been involved in and supported a fantastic setting. We have shared many laughs and shed a few tears along the way and I would not change it for the world. THANK YOU.
For my Final Time
