Our efforts to increase our active committee members has not been successful. In talking to parents, it seems the joining process can seem quite overwhelming, with this in mind, our plan for the upcoming academic is to hold an open morning for parents who are interested, so we can support them with the joining process. We also plan to consider looking into the CIO conversion process more in depth, particularly about obtaining appropriate building paperwork so we could commence this process if no further committee members are obtained.
We have been full once again for the academic year, and the next academic year too, meaning we have had to be very consistent in ensuring we have adequate staffing, especially for the start of the academic year, where our higher numbers of under two’s require us to have more staffing than the end of the previous year. The managers maternity leave, coincided with a staff member returning from maternity, which meant these hours would release Melissa from the floor to completing Lucy’s role. Being consistently full has been very reassuring, however we do have a very long waiting list, alongside numerous enquiries each week in which we have to say we cannot help, going forward it may be considered how we can extend the services we offer.
Once again, our biggest expenditure was wages as expected, however this was followed by maintenace which was necessary for hygiene and safety for the replacement of our waste system and resurfacing ofthe outdoor area. Both will ensure the health and safety of the nursery[is] successful and support the longevity ofthe[setting.]
We also spent a vast amount on resources, to continue to ensure resources are relevant and offer learning opportunities specific to that cohort and to continue to develop our provision to be the best we feel it can be.
New funding initiatives and corresponding rates, alongside grants have meant we have increased our profit on previous years, we will look forward to feeding this back into the setting next year with more improvements to the building.
We met our charity objectives again, with our inclusive educations before the forefront of what we do and continuing to meet our targets in terms of staff development. We have ensured all staff have completed mandatory training, alongisde specific courses to enhance their own areas of interest. Our improvement plan this year noted about development of staff engagement, we have worked on this by increasing staff meetings, particularly those face to face, and ensuring weekly staff reflections on their planning sheets take place.
With our increase on profits, we plan to develop the nursery further next year with new bathrooms, a staff room to provide adequate space for staff rest and meetings and develop our under two’s outside area so they have their own appropriate free flow space for outdoor learning. New safeguarding guidance due to be released in September will ensure staff training around this area is Fa —aaappropriate_ lot ‘af CPD tofor new our stst a ff.ndardsWe and hope ensureto work knowledgeon our recruitmentis appropriateof committe and emb e ddean d .continue This willto mean establish our nursery meeting the needs of all of our children.

Financial Report 2024-2025
As per previous years the biggest expenditure was again staff wages, as to be expected, however our next biggest expenditure was from maintenance this year rather than HMRC. We made necessary and significant improvements to the building, to ensure its longevity and to comply with health and safety standards. This meant spending £62,047.04 on maintenance, inclusive of £27882.00 for our new waste tank to ensure hygiene is appropriate in our bathroom facilities, and £24414.67 for the resurfacing of the outdoor area to ensure the ground was safe, level and to enhance the aesthetical appearance.
Our other high expenditures included £23,728.40 on resources, which reflects our aim to try to ensure as much profit as possible is fed back into the nursery to ensure the best learning opportunities for our children and families, whilst continuing sustainable spending to ensure we contingency plans. This included new outdoor equipment, seasonal resources and focus on developing our under two space, reflective of our increased intake of under twos over the next few years in line with the new government funding initiative for working parents.
We managed to spend less this year on HMRC payments and insurance which reflects finding a process of getting our HMRC payments into order.
We managed to transfer £8990.94 into the tracker, which was an increase on the reduced transfer we had noted last year. We tried to feed a much back into the preschool in terms of maintenance and resources but also try to ensure the savings account stays appropriate should an emergency ever occur where was not in reciept of income for a duration or should we ever need to consider redundancies.
Unfortunately, our fundraising was not as we had hoped this year, however, we continue to work on developing this by trying to recruit an active committee who are happy to participate in this. We did try with events in setting, alongside a parent completing a sky dive to help raise funds to purchase our own defibrillator. We were in receipt of local grants too, organised by our committee, which made a vast help in ensuring we could carry out necessary maintenance this year. This included a grant of £22,944 towards the repairs of our waste system.
On 31/08/2024 the total money situation of Cinder Ash is as follows: - Current account: £101,051.70 Tracker account: £162,228.44 Total: £263,280.14
Overall, it has been great to be able to feed back more money into the setting to create necessary repairs and maintenance. It has also been great to be able to have further profit, made possible by our increase in new funding rates over private fee paying, meaning we can create more progress going forward including new bathrooms and staff room provision.
