committee, are committed to encouraging children to learn and develop key skills
through play and following a curriculum to support each child in reaching their full

Financial Review
The charity returned a profit for the year of £9,997. The setting receives funding from the
Education Authority for each child in attendance. We were able to draw back some
money from the previous year's deficit due to a quick rise in child attendees due to a
local setting closing down. Money has been used to pay staff wages, contribute to heat,
light and Insurance costs for the premises, food, educatlonal resources (both indoor

and outdoor) and the general running of the settlng. Funds aro supplemented through
fund raising events held In conjunction with parents and friends in the local area, this
includes a summer Lgnd winter raffle.
The trustees are appolnted annually durlng the Annual General Meetlng whlch is usually
held around October. Suitable candidates are considered based on their skills,
experience and sympathy wlth the aims of the charity. Related parties and co-operation
with other organisations. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the
charity with any relc?ted parties must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the
same way as any other contractual relationshlp with a related party. This report was
approved by the Trustees on 14 March 2026.
