Plymtree Preschool AGM - 25 September 2024
Treasurerfs Report September 2024
Plymtree Preschool accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis for the 12
months ending 31 March 2024. These have been subject to an Independent Examination before
Submission to the Charity Commission by 31 January 2025. The committee has agreed for this to be
carried out by SMV Associates.
Highlights from the 2023124 account:
Total Receipts
Total Payments
£45886.16
£48615.49
Deflclt
£2729.33
Points to note:
Total receipts were £45886.16 compared to £47194.47 in 2022/23
EYF income is down by £3116.21 in this year which reflects the lower numbers of
children on roll for the year.
Fundraising income is lower this year. The disco held in February was a great success
but there was little interest in Race Night this year which is usually a very good
fundraiser for the Preschool.
Our fundraising activities generated an additional £2108.18.
Unfunded fee income has been closely managed and unpaid fees for this year are nil
o The cumulative effect is a small deficit which is closely linked to the number of
children on roll.
Total payments were £48615.49 which is up very slightly from £48533.01 last year
o We have continued to provide the children with regular East Devon Dance sessions
which the children really enjoy. The committee have agreed for these costs to
continue based on the current financial situation.
o Rent has increased by £153.
Our biggest outgoing is wages and these have increased to a cost of £39565.27. The
wage cost has increased due to a rise in national minimum wage and retention of
our well qualified and experienced team.
Fundraising
Fundraising has been more difficult this year. There was little interest in Race Night
which usually generates a good profit.
However, the disco held in its place was very successful raising £531.00
The Christmas Fayre was also a great success raising £962.90
Bags 2 school raised £175.00

Position at September 2024
th
On 25 September 2024, Plymtree Pre-school remains financially stable with current bank balances
of:
Current Account:
Redundancy reserve
Contingency Account
£13546.15
£10351.86
£15377.89
Implications for accounts to note for the current year:
Due to the success of East Devon Dance, the committee has agreed to continue with this
external supplier for this academic year. This will be regularly reviewed in line with number
of children on role.
In this current year we have added a sustainability fee and this will help to cover increase in
costs of the setting moving forward. We are also now taking children from the term after
their 2nd birthday.
As Treasurer, I would once again like to thank the highly motivated and dedicated members of the
pre-school staff and committee who have worked hard to raise funds to further enhance the setting
and learning experiences of the children.
