NEWINGTON NURSERY formerly Duncan Street Pre-School Playgroup
Scottish Registered Charity No. SCO06565
Trustees’ report and accounts for the year ended 31 July 2025
Activities and objectives:
Newington Nursery is a partner provider with the City of Edinburgh council. Our purposes as recorded in our constitution are to provide pre-school education for the children in the surrounding area.
As a community nursery our goal is to provide our children with a safe beneficial environment to learn and develop, both academically as well as socially. That goal is achieved by the dedicated support of the staff as well as the involvement of parents and volunteers. Our primary objective is that the children have a positive experience within the nursery and move on to p1 as best prepared as possible.
Chairperson’s Report
| am aware there will be a number of people who do not know me, | am Redacted and | was the Chairperson for the year 2023 to 2024. Redacted has been the Treasurer, Redacted the Secretary who has now moved away and Redacted has been an ordinary member of the Board who is on the phone as she couldn’t be here tonight.
| would like to offer my warm welcome to everyone here.
| will briefly give an overview of the last year at the nursery and then handover to Redacted and Redacted for their reports.
The nursery’s capacity is 24 children. We have started in a much stronger position than last year with 18 children currently attending the nursery which is up from 12 at this time last year. Last year both Redacted Redacted and Redacted left the nursery. | pass on my thanks to both of them for their contributions and wish them well in their new roles. Redacted Redacted, the nursery’s new manager, joined in March of this year and we have recently welcomed Redacted due to the increase in the number of children the nursery is starting with this term.
Redacted also stepped down as Business Manager of the nursery. Redacted 4 children attended the nursery and the 2 oldest are now at University. This gives you an idea of the length of time she had been involved which was in excess of 15 years. She is still involved in the background as she runs the nursery’s payroll. The Board made the decision not to recruit for Redacted role and have instead divided her duties between Redacted and the Board. | would like to say a huge thank you to Redactedfor all of her involvement with the nursery over the years, in particular her recent assistance in the preparations for the inspection.
So, we are returning this year with a stable and well experienced team of staff members: Redacted, Redacted, Redacted, Redacted and Redacted. In addition, Redacted and Redacted (who have retired
| | |
on many occasions)) are still helping occasionally when needed. The team is led by the new manager, Redacted.
We are delighted to continue to be staffed with this extra ordinary team. The nursery and parents are fortunate to have such a team of people who bring unique experience and talent to the nursery, like Spanish and French lessons and gardening amongst others.
| would now like to finish with some words of thanks.
Firstly, thank you to the Business Committee of Mayfield Salisbury Church who are always in support of the nursery.
Secondly, | would like to thank the Board members. Everyone has gone above and beyond over the last year to assist in the various Board matters. | was delighted to be part of the Board with you and could not have done it without all of your help and support. In particular, | would like to thank Redacted who has vast experience working in childcare and has expertly guided us throughout the year. Redacted, as we said on many occasions, we couldn’t have done it without you.
Thirdly, a huge thank you to our new manager Redacted who has hit the ground running in a brandnew setting. Redacted has not only got to know the children, their families, the staff and the Board she has also had a nursery inspection in her first 3 months. She has donea fantastic job and we are delighted to have her on board.
Fourthly, another huge thank you to all of the wonderful staff members for their hard work and dedication which was clearly reflected in the wonderful report which Redacted will go into in more detail later on. Collectively, they have been dedicated and worked with commitment, energy and enthusiasm throughout the year.
Finally to all of the parents, thank you for your involvement and contribution to Newington Nursery.
