Our numbers of children are increasing to the level before the pandemic. ## Financial Review With the increase in numbers and slight increase in the funding rate the manager and trustees will keep a close eye on finances to ensure we can cover increasing costs and the national minimum wage. We are also insuring we have reserves in case of unforeseen circumstances. Because of family situations due to the cost of living we only do the minimum fundraising events and hopefully this will change in the future. ## Declaration The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees report above and this is signed on behalf of the charity trustees. |Signature|LIAMACDONALD| |---|---| |Full Name|LiaMacDonald| |Position|Secretary| ||| Dais Chain Pre-school Income & Ex enditure Account for the eriod 1 A ril 2022 - 31 March 2023 RECEIPTS PAYMENTS Fee5 from parents 3702.00 Wages & PAYE Rent D8S fees Uniforms Training Ofsted fge Nursery World Toys & Equipment Food Postage & Slaltonery Phone Insurance- 2 years in 2022 Accountancy Repairs and consumables Sundry expenses 29813.34 1008.00 13.00 0.00 98.25 50.00 140.00 594.94 231.28 365.85 146.00 0.00 145 00 92.56 54.99 SCC EYF Funding 29025.61 Fundraising 151.94 32879.55 32753.91 Surpluslldeficill for year 125.64 32879.55 32879.55 SUMMARY Bank and cash balance @ 1.4.22 20281.13 sU￿lUs for the year 125.64 Bank and cash balance @ 31.3.23 20406.77 I confirm that I have carried out an independent examination wilhoul carrying out an audit on the above account from the books. records and explanations supplied lo me.
