Llanddulas Playgroup Trustees Report 2025
We are a village playgroup that serves the village of Llanddulas and surrounding areas, catering for pre-school children from 2-4 years. We currently have 25 children on register and are in a reasonably secure financial situation. The trustees and staff feel that although parental support is good we do not always achieve success with fundraising thus staff work tireless without reward to ensure that playgroup operates at its full potential. With the recent amendments to the Welsh government Flying start scheme being offered to all 2 year olds in preference to the postcode availability in previous years, we now are operating at full capacity, and have a waiting list for spaces for the next academic year, which will provide financial security for the future. The setting is currently looking at renovating the premises to increase numbers of pupils attending to meet the demand,

Changes recommended for 2024-25

Changes recommended for 2025-26
- I have provided a reconciliation sheet via excel, that could be used to ensure there are no typing errors within the accounts carrying over from one month to the next. Using formulas within excel spreadsheets can highlight when numerical entries in a spreadsheet have been incorrectly entered. This is not a requirement, more a suggestion.
