Springboard Playgroup Management Committee 

The Springboard Preschool is an integral part of the church. It is run by a management committee of church members who are committed to ensuring that the playgroup continues to be at the heart of the community, giving quality education and childcare to the children. The preschool has an experienced and dedicated team led by Karen and Anne-Marie, who ensure that the children thrive under their care. 

This year as we all know Andrea has stepped down as a trustee and our finance treasure. It is really important that we find a new trustee to join our team (if you have financial skills that would be an amazing bonus) if not please still offer your services. 

If you have any family or friends that are looking for a good Preschool could you please promote Springboard. 

Carol Wilson (Chair of the Trustees)

Dear Trustees of Springboard 

I have carried out an independent examination of the 2024/2025 financial accounts prepared by Chris Wilson on behalf of the Springboard Pre-school. I can confirm the following: 

- proper accounting records were kept for the financial year 2024/25. 

- the accounts contained within the Excel spreadsheet are in accord with the accounting income and expenditure records and the bank statements. 

- The accounts have been prepared on a cash accounting and not accrual basis. 

- All income received and expenditure has been consistent with the terms of the charity's governing document.
