**St Johns Playgroup (Bilton) Trustees Report For The Year Ended 31 August 2025**
## **St. John’s Playgroup Committee - Annual Report**
The committee is required to issue this report to parents. Its purpose is to let parents know how the committee has carried out its duties between September 2024 and August 2025. It is not concerned with the day to day running of the playgroup, except in so far as the committee have responsibilities towards such issues. Nor is the meeting a place at which questions about individual children or staff may be raised.
## **Statement on Admittance**
We welcome children from all ethnic backgrounds. We are also equipped to welcome children with special educational needs or disabilities.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
● state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
● prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
By order of the board of trustees

**St Johns Playgroup (Bilton) Independent Examiners Report For The Year Ended 31 August 2025**
I report on the accounts which are set out on pages 4 to 7
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 August 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees, 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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the 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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
• the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
• the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
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
Signed
