Financial Position
The year began with a bank balance of approximately £17,475.75 and ended with a balance of approximately £27,016.38 , reflecting the healthy surplus generated during the year. This places the playgroup in a secure financial position and provides a useful reserve to support future operations, staffing, equipment replacement and improvements to the provision.
Conclusion
The committee has continued to manage the playgroup's finances responsibly, ensuring that resources are directed towards maintaining high-quality childcare and learning opportunities for the children attending the setting. The surplus achieved this year reflects careful financial management and the continued importance of funding streams, particularly PCC and Welsh Government childcare funding.
I would like to thank the staff, committee members and families for their support throughout the year and recommend that these accounts be adopted.
