4. Chair's Report. |
- Staff at Hilltop have enquired about a change in job titles, it
was decided to define the Helper role perhaps change to Preschool
Assistant. It was also decided that the other titles should be
Assistant Supervisors and Supervisors. Contracts and job
descriptions to be amended accordingly.
|
|
- Open Day letters - Day set for 31 August - need a
list of all new children starting to be invited, which will run from
10am until 2.30pm. Depending on amount of children attending split
times to be given.
|
|
- We very sadly received Elaine's resignation as
she is moving to pastures new, she will be working to end of July,
Rose and Sally to look at what resources will be needed and possibly
recruit. We wish Elaine the best and it is very sad to see her go.
|
|
- The burglar alarm at Brampton - there has been
problems where slight disturbances would set it off, it seems fine
at the moment. Sally is thinking as current contract is due to end
in August maybe we should look at using someone else. To consider
ADT who write for routine inspections at convenient times and will
just take over the current system, this is to be looked at.
|
|
- Carnival - we have a pitch booked and have to turn
up on Wednesday to obtain this on a first come first served basis.
Being a charity the pitch is free. Books, sweets, and toys have been
requested. Lucky Dip game to be done at £1a go. Drinks sold,
Staff/committee members available to attend to meet at 10.30.
|
|
- Fundraising - Carole has been contacted by "The
Big Fundraiser" Kath explained about the book which contains money
saving vouchers. No outlay to playgroup, £4 given back for every one
we sell. It was decided we should try this starting this term as it
would be ideal ready for the summer. Carole will liaise with her
contact.
|
|
- End of term party - Carole has offered her house
for the party. It has been decided for Thursday 13 July at 8pm,
Carole to advise staff/committee what to bring along.

5. Treasurer's Report.
|
- The financial position is very much the same as last year, with
income slightly down by £773 on the same time last year due to
changing in funding. Expenses have also increased by £2,056 so
current position on this date last year is at the moment a
difference £2,830, interim cheques to be received. Major expenses
have now gone out with only wages and fees left to go out. If we are
losing out on interim cheques we should be charging parents, this is
to be looked at.
|
|
|
|
6. Brampton Report.
|
- Scrap Store - Rose was not sure if you have to be a member or do
you get a discount, Rose and Carole tried to sort this out without
any luck. Staff are to decide if need to join. Also to look at
another warehouse possibly Hancocks.
