## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDING 31[st] AUG 2025 We continued to be busier over the year with more younger children however the trend for additional hours has declined and parents are just using their funded hours. With more younger children we have had more breakages of equipment son have needed to replace more items. Fundraising was still an impossibility as parents do not have much disposable income , especially with the cost of living continuing to spiral. We continue to try to provide as many disposable activities as possible even though the cost of such activities is proving to be more expensive. To keep costs down we have adhered to the maximum ratios for children and had the minimum amount of staff on session as possible. This has allowed us to continue to provide a good selection of activities on offer to the children. We will continue providing quality childcare at affordable prices and strive to do the best we can. ## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP INCOME & EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT FOR YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2025 INCOME 2024 2025 Fees from parents 15,601.25 14,348.85 Nursery vouchers 72,915.90 81,362.11 Fundraising - - Grants - - Sundries - - Bank interest 30.76 128.88 88,547.91 95,839.84 LESS EXPENDITURE Wages 49,533.18 42,687.84 Tel/Utilities/Insurance 7043.70 9,488.55 Equipment & Consumables 8,061.70 15,828.52 Maintenance & Repairs 4,813.42 5,128.37 Inland revenue - 5,123.73 Cash purchases 986.64 1,005.00 Training registrations & lice 3,677.86 5,157.21 74,116.50 84,359.82 NET INCOME 14,431.41 10,703.37 CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP CASH PURCHASES FOR YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2025 BALANCE BROUGHT FORWARD - Cash from bank Sept - Oct 325.00 Nov - Dec - Jan 250.00 Feb - March 180.00 April - May 250 June - July - Aug - TOTAL 1,005.00 PAYMENTS Admin 138.70 Misc 73.98 Maint 160.99 Equip/resources 284.30 Cleaning 108.55 Snack 238.48 TOTAL 1,005.00 ## CHRIST CHURCH SCHOOL PLAYGROUP BALANCE SHEET AS AT 31[st] Aug 2025 ## PLAYGROUP BUILDING 2024 2025 Cost 15,230 4,600.00 4,500.00 Toys & equipment value 4,300.00 4,500.00 BANK BALANCES Current account 63,675.90 65,660.39 Reserve account 4,861.50 13,580.00 Cash in hand - - 77,437.40 88,240.39 ## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31[st] Aug 2025 ## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner.
