Plymtree Preschool AGM - 17th September 2025 Treasurerfs Report September 2025 Plymtree Preschool accounts have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis for the 12 months ending 31 March 2025. These have been subject to an Independent Examination before submission to the Charity Commission by 31 January 2026. The committee has agreed for this to be carried out by SMV Associates. Highllghts from the 2024125 account: Total Receipts Total Payments £61,116.32 £53,576.69 Surplus £7 539.63 Points to note: Total receipts were £61,116.32 compared to £45,886.16 in 2023124 o EYF income has increased due to the numbers of children . Fundraising income was up £2,047. Our fundraising activities generated an additional £3,900. Total payments were £53.576.69 up from £48,615.49 last year We have provided the children with regular dance sessions from 'Dance with Jo, which the children really enjoy. Our biggest outgoing is wages and these have increased to a cost of £44,615.55 from £39.565.27. An increase of £5,050.28. The wage cost has increased due to a rise in national minimum wage. This is the increase in receipts from the previous year. o Training costs have increased this year by £260 but this is vital for staff development and keep qualifications up to date. o Wages average £4,200 a month cost to pre-school. o Although we have a surplus of £7,539.63 this year, last year we were down by £2,729.33. So, to balance that out we are £4,810.30 up over the two-year period. Fundraising o A fairly successful year making £3,900 with some new fundraising ideas = lambing, bingo and wreath making . Posltlon at September 2025 On 17th September 2025, Plymtree Pre-school account are: Current Account: Redundancy reserve Contingency Account £21,556.80 £10,513.95 £15,618.67 We are in a stable position at the moment with the current account staying around £21,000. In 2024 it closed at £17,970 and in 2023 it closed at £10,603. As I have said above our wages are our main expenses and we do need to be careful with this when the national minimum wage increases, as EYF
doesn't'normalll 80 UP at the same rate as the minimum wage and we shouldn't rely on fundraising. We have celebrated our 50 year of running and have already had a very successful year th fundraising brining in £3,000 with some new fundraising ideas: yoga and our summer 50 celebration on the playing field. Mathew and l are looking forward to running lambing bingo again this season and hope it can be even more successful for pre-school. I would like to thank the amazing pre-school staff and our fantastic committee who have worked hard to raise funds to further enhance the setting and learning experiences of the children. I have enjoyed being your Treasurer and supporting pre-school and I'm very happy to continue for the for coming year. Melissa Tidball Treasurer
