Annual Summary
This year has continued to be difficult due to the Covid-19 pandemic, although we have had lockdowns, early years have not been affected by closing to children. However, due to primary school closures, after school club was affected which led to reduced fees coming in from this service.
St Mary’s Playgroup remained at full capacity this year and children were placed on a waiting list in preparation for a space that may become available.
In April 2021 we opened Sandlings Playgroup & Wrap Around Provision which went from strength to strength between April and September 2021. The setting continues to grow and is expected to reach the full capacity of its places by January 2022. We were fortunate to receive some funding from the Woodbridge Rotary Club which supported the renovation of the kitchen to meet the necessary compliances.
Both settings have had to recruit additional staff to meet the needs of the ever increasing number of children attending the settings.
Financially, St Mary’s Playgroup was stable during the financial year of September 2020 to September 2021. Sandlings Playgroup was running at a profit, however due to not completing a full financial year we cannot offer a summary of finances for Sandlings Playgroup at this current time.

Respective responsibilities The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in of trustees and examiner accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by examiner’s statement the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
-
Independent examiner's In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my statement attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
