Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	We faced a year of increased property costs, staffing costs and rising bills. Unfortunately we ran this year at a loss, we did this to continue to provide a high quality of care for our children and the weekly stay and play group for our community. Our Outstanding Ofsted rating towards the end of the year has been a fantastic achievement and reward and will help us advertise our setting to the greater public for the future intake. We are going into the next year proud and positive. We have changed providers where necessary to lower our outgoings and we continue to fundraise to support discretionary spend and to raise awareness of the playgroup within the local community.
