Good evening everyone,
Firstly, I would like to say a huge thank you to our committee and staff for everything you have done over the last year. Your commitment, time, and dedication do not go unnoticed, and the setting simply would not run without you.
It’s fair to say this year has been a fairly typical one for us, with its share of constant setbacks and challenges. We have worked through issues relating to the previous manager, navigated the Ofsted process, and dealt with ongoing threat involving the school opening a nursery. Despite this, the resilience and teamwork shown by everyone involved has been nothing short of amazing. We welcomed Laura back off maternity leave, Kyra joined the team and has shown an eager atti ude to develop and under go training and Kelly and Laura have signed up for there Apprenticeships and Kelly has almost completed this.
In July, we said goodbye to several of our children as they moved on to school. While it is always emotional to see them leave, we are incredibly proud of them and wish them every success as they begin the next chapter of their learning journey. September also bought in some new children and we hope to give them the best start before they join mainstream school.
Alongside all of this, we have still managed to come together as a community. Events such as the Halloween party and the fetes we attended were not only great fun, but also vital in helping us raise much-needed funds. Thank you to everyone who helped organise, support, and attend these events — your efforts really do make a difference.
A big thank you to Tamara for everything she does unpaid in her own time to make sure the pre school runs smoothly, the cleaning up & ensuring all the bills and wages are paid on time, helping with interviews and covering absences as well as a mountain of other things I haven’t mentioned. This does not also go unnoticed.
Overall, it has been a year of challenges, growth, and perseverance. Thank you again to everyone for your hard work, support, and continued belief in what we do. I look forward to what the coming year will bring and to continuing this journey together.
Thank you.

We had a tough start to the year when we lost our manager, however we have managed to recruit a new Manager in April and have since been recruiting for a Deputy Manager who is starting this month, both staff members are on their apprenticeship with one of them almost at their sign off. I would like to say a special thank you to Angela for her support over the year and to ensure we didn’t need to close.
We have made changes for the benefit of all uses of the hall, and to give privacy by having the office located in the cupboard and returning the kitchen to original use, Reset the cupboard and made more space for items along with more space for Guides. Giving all users more space and communal space.
Having two people on the bank account has allowed 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 will be looking to update the phone contract and other contracts to ensure we are getting the most effective and cost-saving accounts. Xero is up and running well, this allows us to send invoices and have digital accounts.
Included in Xero, we can transfer our payroll over to this also creating a saving. This is still to be completed The Vice Chair has been able to set up online payments on the website so we can sell tickets to events & send invoices for events allowing more payments and income.
There have been ups & downs and challenges this year. March 2025. We ended financial year account balance at year end 31[st] Accounts Sheet. Total Income - £67,476.00 Total Expenditure - £64,673.00 Over/Short - £2,803.00 Year End - £15,936.00
The year previous, we made changes and added more funds from fundraising, more fees were received from more children attending the setting and Staff cost savings. The year ahead needs to be watched closely to ensure we are continuing to stay in the positive and this means we need to have a minimum of 13 children, although with more staff this we need to be checked, this is so we can remain viable.
We will face new challenges and will need to try new things to ensure the future of preschool, We still need to be mindful of out outgoing costs vs our incoming costs and Staff heads vs. no of children enrolled at the preschool. We will need to monitor the potential for loss of Children come April when the Primary School open their preschool for 3 years plus, and to see if we can be informed for when they open to 2 years +
We had another successful good exchange grant for the new furniture for the children.
