RAWTHORPE (ST JAMES) PLAYGROUP
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Rawthorpe Playgroup is a committee run charity which is located in Rawthorpe and Dalton Library and Children’s Centre where we have been based for four years. The space is rented from the local authority. We are OFSTED registered and comply by the constitution of the Pre-School Learning Alliance. Our last OFSTED inspection achieved ‘GOOD’ rating.
We have worked well alongside Rawthorpe Infant and Nursery School for many years to enable our parents to access 30 hour funding, so that they can afford to continue to work and know their children have good continuity of care between the two settings.
We have run at full capacity with a higher number of children with additional needs. This has meant we have been working closely with a range of agencies including physios and speech and language coaches, to make sure the families and children receive the best care and support possible.
As mentioned in last year’s report, the local authority experienced problems with their billing system. This has now been resolved and we received and paid an invoice for over £6000 for back rent of the premises. We have also invested in our growing area outside.

RAWTHORPE (ST JAMES) PLAYGROUP
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES
I report on the accounts of Rawthorpe (St James) Playgroup for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 3 and 4.
Respective responsibilities of trustees
As the trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in General Directors given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
i. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
-
ii. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
