Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 30th April 2025

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th April 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Achievement and performance

Charitable activities

Playgroup has had another busy year, working at capacity, with 37 children registered. As some of these children were utilising split centres, it was equivalent to 36 children receivmg 1140 hours care,

Staffing levels stayed constant at 7 members of staff including 1 part time member. All staff have undenaken training to further their CPD and to ensure that certificates, such as first aid, food hygiene and child protection remain valid.

Our last inspection took place in January 2019 and these grades are still in place. We were due to be inspected any time after January 2021, so this is expected at any time, especially as parent questionnaires were issued in early 2024, so we've asked that they be re-issued. We have had visits for drama training from Lorraine Hemmings, exercise classes from Crossfit Caimgozms, dance classes from James Montgomery and a trip to Brodie Castle.

Regular visit by the children to the Library and to visit and entertain the residents at Lynemore have continued.

Expenditure of note this year includes:-

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Grantown Playgroup

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30th April 2025 set out on pages four to nine.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the tenns of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation lO(l)(a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under Section 44(1)(c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examination was canied out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accotmts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention :

to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations

have not been met; or
