4. Employees

For the year 2021/22 the committee employed permanent members of staff in the roles of:

Playgroup Manager Deputy Manager Administration Manager Playgroup Assistants (one who covers SEND) (6)

In addition to this, we currently employ one Assistants on temporary contracts as well as noncontracted staff on retainer for cover work.

5. Year in Review

This has been a year of change for Playgroup. After serving for over a decade, our manager retired from the role. We were able to recruit a new manager who has settled in well. We also appointed a new SENDCO lead who brings with her a wealth of experience. On top of this, Playgroup had a full new Committee change. This amount of change could have been problematic, however the team met this challenge with positivity and professionalism. After a two-year break, it was lovely to be able to hold a Christmas Fayre again this year. We raised £325 and everyone had a lovely, festive time. We also held a Christmas Facebook auction and the children made Christmas cards. Overall, our Christmas fundraising raised £900. We also celebrated our 50[th] birthday and for which we threw a party for the children and their families. We had an entertainer and a delicious cake. Everyone had fun, it was so nice to come together as a playgroup community and the £200 raised was a bonus.

The highest number of children on roll during this financial period was 67, 31 of which were LEA funded and 26 non funded. The lowest number was 53, 25 LEA funded and 28 non funded. Numbers were helped this year because we have opened for an additional 2 afternoons per week.

6. Finance

Barrow Pre-School Playgroup is a validated provider of childcare, receiving funds from the Local Education Authority for 2, 3 and 4 year olds.

During 2021/22 Barrow Pre-School Playgroup continued to provide places for up to 34 children per session. The fees for this year were £12.30 in LEA funding for eligible children, and £13.00 per session(morning) and £13.60 per session (afternoon) for non-funded children. Morning sessions run from 9.15am to 12.15pm and the afternoon sessions from 12.25pm to 3.25pm.

7. Development

Staff and committee have worked hard throughout the year to respond to the ever growing needs of the playgroup community, and provide excellent and inclusive opportunities for child development. The staff continue to be Playgroup’s biggest asset and have risen admirably to the challenges presented this year, and will continue to do so as we realise the effects of the pandemic on child development as well as the community.

The following are significant matters which are not covered in other notes and need to be included to provide a proper understanding of the accounts. If there is insufficient room here, please add a separate sheet.

Non Moneytary Assets: These include the equipment used at Playgroup, fundraising stock and games. Items have been purchased over a number of years.

A full list of assets showing the purchase value is prepared by the Treasurer and will be presented to the AGM. The re-valuation at 31st May 2022, based on cost price is £9200.59 This does not represent the net realisable value or written down valution. Committee members received no remuneration during the year.

BARROW PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2022 which are set out in this report.

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, as amended
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

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 a 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all of the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

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 Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should have been drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
