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. ## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP INCOME & EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT FOR YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2023 INCOME 2022 2023 Fees from parents 10,493.81 5,954.44 Nursery vouchers 45,489.23 75,942.55 Fundraising - - Grants - - Sundries - - Bank interest 0.31 5.70 55,983.35 81,902.69 LESS EXPENDITURE Wages 34,725.67 43,650.58 Tel/Utillities/Insurance 1,972.40 2,146.39 Equipment & Consumables 3,524.44 9,474.29 Maintenance & Repairs 9,867.26 3,869.63 Inland revenue - - Cash purchases 549.20 1,275.09 Training registrations & licences 1,794.16 706.58 52,433.13 61,122.56 NET INCOME 3,550.22 20,780.13 ## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP CASH PURCHASES FOR YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2023 BALANCE BROUGHT FORWARD - Cash from bank Sept - Oct 158.00 Nov 221.00 Dec - Jan - Feb - March - April 375.00 May 102.59 June 418.50 July - Aug - TOTAL 1,275.09 PAYMENTS Admin 314.88 Misc - Maint 184 .61 Equip/resources 529.92 Cleaning 73.78 Snack 171.90 TOTAL 1,275.09 ## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31[st] Aug 2023 ## PLAYGROUP BUILDING 2022 2023 Cost 15,230 4,613.04 4,700.00 Toys & equipment value 3,800.00 4,200.00 BANK BALANCES Current account 32,055.28 52,804.27 Reserve account 630.04 635.74 Cash in hand - - 41,098.36 62,340.01 ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2023 ## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner.
