Chair Reports 15/07/24

We have had a quiet and uneventful year again, though finances are not looking great. We have low numbers coming back in September but we have a lot of interest in new starters, so fingers crossed this bump in the road will soon be overcome.

We welcomed Julia to Bees Knees in this year, and she will be leaving now her children are at school and she can work more hours, so we wish her all the best going forward. She has only been here a short time, but will be missed at Bees Knees.

Again, we have had a quiet year with fund raising, though we are finding it a struggle to organise events and make them worthwhile, so if anyone has any good suggestions please do let me know!

As always, I would like to thank the staff at Bees Knees for their dedication and hard work. I hope you all enjoy your summer holidays- you deserve a break!

Finally, a big thank you to the committee, again, as I always say, that without the committee there is no Bees Knees so it is vital. This year we will be saying goodbye to Rebecca, she has had 3 children at Bees Knees and will be very much missed.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Bees Knees Playgroup

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Bees Knees Playgroup for the year ended 5 April 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of The Bees Knees Playgroup you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

I report in respect of my examination of the accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect :

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of The Bees Knees Playgroup as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Managers Report 16/07/25

We have had a good year with 13 children on roll

Unfortunately 8 children are leaving for school this year.

We have had quite a few enquiries for new starters, and hoping they will begin Septmeber/October

The staff have been working very hard with the children and it is hard to believe our newest member of staff, Jules, has been with us for some time, will be leaving now her children are both in school full time

Jenny continues to visit once a term to sing and read a story to the children.

I would like to thank all the staff and committee for their hard work and support.

Lynda Martin
