Chairman's Report for the Year Ended 31 August 2022

I want to welcome everyone to the Annual General meeting and thank you for attending.

I have been on the Committee for 2 years now, first as Secretary and for the previous year as Chair. It has been a very interesting and immensely rewarding time. We have had a lot of changes both visible one and others behind the scenes. In December last year our former manager Lucy left as did the Supervisor. We are very pleased to have Sue join as manager permanently this term having assisted us on a consultancy basis last year. Heidi re-joined the organisation, coming back as our supervisor, Emily stepped up to the role of Educational lead and Chelsea joined us in February taking on the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator role. Sam has very gracefully and competently assisted us through the year but has decided to move on at the end of the year.

I have to give special thanks to Charlie, Davina and Rebecca who gave us so much time and effort throughout what was a quite uncertain period at the beginning of 2022. Since then we have also had Tracey join as bank staff and we are delighted to have her on board.

The management team have been updating risk assessments and policies and procedures to ensure that we are confidently and consistently providing a safe and engaging environment for children to learn and grow. We have reviewed the offer we are making as a preschool to both children and parent and changes have been made to improve the organisation. I hope you will agree with me that the educational program now in place, especially for those children that are 3 years and over is exceptional. The children are learning phonics in stepping Stones in preparation for school but also covering all the area's required under the Early Years Framework.

With Covid almost a distant memory the children are out and about more and we are engaging with the new needs of children who have started their life with the limited social experience Covid created. There are increased needs around language skills and social skills which are being addressed constantly by simply being within this type of setting day to day.

Given the current economic uncertainty our recent fundraising efforts have been to apply to Grants from larger charitable and community organisations to assist in meeting our needs - I will leave it to the Treasurer to provide more details on this. As a charitable organisation we are always looking for new fundraising opportunities whilst remaining conscious of the financial pressures faced by families so if you have any ideas the Committee are always happy to discuss.

I feel the Preschool has come a long way from last November, following considerable staff changes, an ever-changing economic climate and the after effects of Covid we are continuing to offer a wonderful space with an amazing team to educate and engage your children daily. My final words are simply to repeat my thanks to the team here who have worked so hard this last year and achieved so much.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Yarburgh Community Playgroup

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Yarburgh Community Playgroup

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Yarburgh Community Playgroup (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do 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.
