Trustees Annual Report
1 September 2021 to 31 August 2022
Plaistow Preschool is managed by a committee of trustees who are volunteers from the parent body and local community. Our current committee was appointed in May 2022 at an Extraordinary General Meeting, when the previous committee expressed a desire to step down. The current committee are volunteers from the parent body of our Preschoolers, and we meet monthly to manage the Preschool alongside our staff. We started the Autumn term with a new manager of our Preschool after our previous manager, Carol Krol, retired after 39 years working for us. We would like to thank her for all her hard work and dedication over her many years of service.
For the first time since 2019 we held our annual Maypole Fete, a longstanding tradition in our local village community and our most important fundraising event of the year. It was hugely supported by the local community and the sun shone as the children danced around the Maypole, with a yellow and blue theme in support of the crisis in Ukraine. We had childrens entertainers, a dog show, live music, BBQ, and lots of traditional stalls for everyone to enjoy.
We are based at the Winterton Hall in Plaistow, West Sussex. We have our own lovely garden for children to use in all weathers, as well as access to the local park which was revamped by the Parish council in October 2021. We are open 9am-3pm, 5 days a week and we follow school term dates. Our learning at Preschool is child led and our activities evolve as the children engage and interact with them. We cover many festivals throughout the world; Harvest, Bonfire, Diwali, Mothers Day, Easter and Chinese New Year to name a few.
We have added in a dance class, provided by the Vicky Michelle Academy of Dance, on a Monday afternoon, and a football skills session provided by the Sports Talent Academy on a Tuesday morning. We have also purchased balance bikes and implemented bike activity sessions for the children incorporating physical control, confidence, mathematical as well as directional positioning.
The children worked hard on their Nativity Play and gave a splendid performance on the day. We also combined it with a Christmas Party for the children beforehand with

snacks, a disco and games. In the summer term we held our annual Sports Day on the village green for all our families to enjoy. Our lead Practitioner took our school starters to visit Plaistow and Kirdford Primary school on multiple trips in the leadup to the end of the school year. This has helped enormously to aid their transition into the Primary school ready for starting school in September.
We believe that we have provided a safe and caring environment to ensure the children feel valued and encouraged to achieve their learning goals, as well as having fun in the process. We encourage all our staff to do training as part of their development either online or otherwise. All staff have been through supervisions, they have been through food hygiene and paediatric first aid as well as an annual safeguarding course.
We have extended our opening hours from 26 to 30, which has opened up the provision to a wider community. This, alongside more children joining us this year and filling up our sessions, has increased our income from fees. The success of our annual Maypole Fete also brought in more income from fundraising than last year, and we were given a grant of £2,000 from Plaistow Parish Council to make some improvements to the facilities in our garden, which we are yet to spend. We have struggled with higher costs again this year, and we continue to be hit with price increases from all our suppliers.
We would like to thank all our staff for their commitment and hard work throughout the last year. Thank you to the committee without whom we would not be able to continue the wonderful work we do. Lastly, thank you to everyone who helped organise the fundraising events, especially the Maypole Fete and made it such a success.
