CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDING 31[st] AUG 2023
The numbers of children attending the playgroup has improved dramatically this year ,which meant more spending was needed on consumables and throw away resources.
We continued to be careful with money as much as possible as the future is never guaranteed as we have witnessed over the last few years.
Fundraising was still an impossibility as parents do not have much disposable income , especially with the cost of living continuing to spiral.
We are still awaiting our Ofsted inspection as we haven’t had one for five and a half years.
We will continue providing quality childcare at an affordable amount.

Basis of independent examiners statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by 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 explainations 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.
