Play Planet Family Project Company No. Chairman’s Statement For The Year Ended 31 May 2024
-
As we move into the next academic year, we have seen an unprecedented amount of interest in preschool places. With the roll out of the government childcare expansion funding, we have been inundated with parents wishing to enrol their children and take advantage of the funding entitlements.
-
Staff have been reflecting upon the preschool environment and have invested much time in revamping areas and rooms ensuring curriculum coverage whilst maintaining a “home from home” approach. We have had some excellent feedback from parents stating, “it feels just like being at home”.
-
The management team have delivered Safeguarding Level 2 awareness training this year and all staff will be renewing their Paediatric First Aid training. We are delighted to have welcomed our new Apprentice who enrolled to undertake the Level 3 Early Years Educator programme. Play Planet Family Project highly regard continuing professional development and workbased learning and we wish our apprentice all the best as she embarks on her training.

The preschool has worked hard to ensure children leaving to attend school have a smooth and thorough transition to prepare them for primary school.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Another successful year with all fees paid on time and no debts outstanding. Good accounting and careful budgeting resulted in staff being retained on a healthy living wage and a significant amount of equipment being replaced, loans from trustees have started to be repaid and extra training for all staff.
The committee have been working with the treasurer to ensure we have a viable pre-school to return to.
The Statement of Financial Activities showed net profit/ (loss) of £840 (2023 – (3,000)) for the year and reserves stand at (£31,255) (2023 – (£30,415))

The trustees have the power to invest in any way that they see fit.
Reserves policy
Any money received by the charity from whatever source shall be applied only in furtherance of the Aims of the charity and shall not be applied in any way whatsoever for the personal benefit, use or advantage of any officer or member of the charity, or for any other person or purpose or person whatsoever, except maybe as specified in the objects of the charity above. The funds shall be vested in not less than three custodian trustees, who shall apply the funds (subject to the general law except as the Constitution provides to the contrary) to achieve the aims as set out above, at the direction of the executive.
It is the policy of the charity to maintain an unrestricted fund, known as the General Fund, which is the free reserve of the charity. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and supports costs of the charity.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
-
Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Accountant
Nelmo & Co have been re-appointed as accountant for the ensuing year.

Play Planet Family Project Accountants' Report For The Year Ended 31 May 2023
We have reviewed the accounts of Play Planet Family Project for the year ended 31 May 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND ACCOUNTANT
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Annual Report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts which give a true and fair view.
We have been appointed as accountant under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our responsibility is to review and express an opinion on the accounts in accordance with applicable law.
SCOPE OF THE REVIEW OF THE ACCOUNTS
A Review involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the accounts sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charity's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the trustees; and the overall presentation of the accounts. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Trustees' Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited accounts. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies, we consider the implications for our report.
OPINION ON ACCOUNTS
In our opinion the accounts:
Give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as of 31 May 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended.
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
the information given in the Trustees' Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the accounts; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the accounts are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Nelmo & Co is eligible to act as an accountant in terms of section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006

Play Planet Family Project Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 May 2024
1. Accounting Policies
1.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in March 2005 (SORP 2005).
1.2. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.
Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
1.3. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
-
Equipment – 25% Reducing Balance
-
Fixtures & Fittings – 25% Reducing Balance
2. Average Number of Employees
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was as follows: 12 (2023: 11)
