Playgroup funding report (PG5)

Introduction

Every year playgroups are required to complete and return to the Ministry of Education a Playgroup Funding Report (PG5). This report needs to show the money the playgroup has received from the Ministry of Education and how this money has been spent.

Process

Annual Playgroup Funding Report forms are sent to all playgroups who received Ministry funding the previous financial year. It is important that the Playgroup Funding Report is completed and returned to your local Ministry of Education office for checking and recording.

Timeline

Playgroup Funding Reports for the previous financial year are due at your local Ministry of Education office by 31 August each year.

Further funding

An annual Playgroup Funding Report is required before a playgroup can apply for further funding in the next financial year.

Assistance

An ECE Coordinator can help your playgroup to complete the annual Playgroup Funding Report. The coordinator will check that the funding has been used to meet the objectives of Playgroup Funding and the playgroup has met all the Ministry of Education funding rules.
