## Chairpersons report 2023/24 October 2023 was a rocky one for us all. A lot of ‘blood stress and tears’ as some would say. Thankfully after a lot of leaflet dropping, begging, pleading and fundraising we managed to secure the monies needed to remain open. We also had the threat of loosing a qualified member of staff, but due to our sheer commitment, we managed to keep her for a few extra months. December 2023 was one of our best months with the Christmas fundraisers. Becky did a fabulous job with the grotto and I’m hoping its as big a hit this year as it was last year. January 2024 bought in 2 children and unfortunately the notice of our dear Pauline who had been here at preschool longer than I’ve been alive. With Laura also heading on Maternity leave, we recruited and were lucky enough to gain Chelsea and Kelly with start dates of April. Unfortunately, from there we had a rocky few months but again as a committee we powered through and ended up managing to stay afloat. April gave us 5 new children followed shortly by Megan’s notice again. In July, we said goodbye to 7 littles ready to start their primary school journey, with 3 local schools continuing that for us. August was a very difficult month. Unfortunately, we Chelsea handed in her notice but thankfully after a nice long chat with her, we managed to keep her on as a committee member and have her intelligence, knowledge and support in that form. September, we gained 2 new children and a new manager. Donna started with about 16 hours’ notice with her start date being pulled forward, she pulled her sleeves up and got stuck in. She’s stripped back every little piece of admin (with support from Tamara also) and improved them. We are very lucky to have Kelly permanent and signed up to a qualification and Gemma has re applied. I look forward to the next 12 months with you all and I just have one request that we work as a team and battle any issues which my arise as a team. Thank you. Treasures report AGM 22[nd] October 2024 at 18:00pm October 2023 to October 2024 We had a tough start to the year when we faced closure, However the team did amazing work raising the £20,000 needed to keep the pre-school open over the year 23-24. This included £4,800 from Kintbury Parish Council, £11,000 from one doner and the rest came from other donations, fundraising and more. We have made lots of changes from Having two people on the bank account allowing more view of the accounts, I also inform the committee when we have had to transfer money from the savings account to the main account to pay bills, wages etc. We have changed the phone contract and will be doing that again shortly; we have set up Xero, which allows us to send invoices and have digital accounts. Included in Xero, we can transfer our payroll over to this also creating a saving. We have been able to set up online payments & send invoices for events allowing more payments and income. There have been ups & downs and challenges this year, but I feel going forward with the changes made and being made will keep the pre-school in a good place. We ended the financial year on £23,959.30 savings & £1,875.74 Giving the total of £25,835.04 account balance at year end 31[st] March 2024. Total Income - £96,984 Total Expenditure - £84,434 Over/Short - £12,550 Year End - £25,683 The year ahead, following making more changes and adding more funds from fundraising, more fees are coming up for the new children attending the setting and Staff cost savings. A successful good exchange grant for the furniture, carpet and new toys and equipment for the children. We are looking to do a new grant for our unqualified staff to start an apprenticeship this new academic year.
