The charity is registered with The Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1019319) and is governed by a standard constitution for unincorporated charitable association Preschools. This constitution was updated to the 2011 version during the 2011 Annual General Meeting and is reviewed and re-adopted annually. The day to day running of the Pre-school is undertaken by an elected management committee. Trustees are appointed by the members of the committee at the Annual General Meeting (AGM), if and when necessary. ## **Objectives and Activities** The charity exists to promote the learning and development of local children from 2.5yrs to 5 yrs. We do this by offering appropriate play & learning facilities, qualified staff, and a rich & inclusive environment for everyone. Children are all treated as individuals, and we delight in watching them progress through their time at Pre-school. We aim to always act as a “good employer” for our staff team, and to ensure that appropriate training and support is provided. ## **Trustees and Public Benefit Statement** Members of the management committee and Trustees are listed on page 1. The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties. ## **Financial Review** The Cash Surplus for 2025 is £7,513 - (2024 – Surplus of £25,946). The Pre-school aims to keep 3 months’ worth of funds to run the Pre-school and contingency reserves to cover redundancies and building replacement / disposal. Cash reserves at July 31[st] 2025 amounted to £78,954 (2024 £69,679). ## **Achievements and Performance** Pre-school has experienced a sound financial year. Due to a low intake of children in September 2025 we experienced a challenging autumn term but a steady increase of children throughout the school year had a very positive effect on our revenue finishing our financial year with a surplus as outlined above strengthening our financial position further. The costs at pre-school continue to be well managed. This year Haddenham Pre-school has also started the process to change our charity structure from unincorporated to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This change in structure will not affect staff and daily operations but provides a number of benefits to the charity such as limited liability for our trustees, separate legal personality **Page 2** allowing the organisation to own property and enter contracts, and a simplified regulatory regime. We are delighted to have in place a fantastic, supportive, and experienced team of staff & volunteers. The Committee are very happy with the performance of the Pre-School this year and will continue to sustain the high standards of an Outstanding Setting. ## **Independent Examiner** The independent examiner, Chris Prescott FCCA, has indicated his willingness to continue in office. A resolution will be proposed at the next trustees’ meeting to reappoint him and to fix his remuneration. I declare, in my capacity of charity trustee, that: - the Trustees have approved the report above; and - have authorised me to sign it on their behalf. **Chantal Lontay Chair** Chantal Lontag **Dated:** 2nd October 2025 **Page 3** ## HADDENHAM PRE-SCHOOL ## Independent examiner's report on the accounts ## Year Ended July 31st 2025 Report to the Trustees of Haddenham Pre-School on accounts for the year ended July 31“ 2025, set out on pages 5-7. Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The responsibilities of charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section trustees and 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is examiner needed. It is my responsibility to: - e examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act, ¢ to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and - ¢ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the independent Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records examiner’s kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. statement It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and secking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention examiner's which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the statement ‘quirements: e to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act: and e the accounts do not accord with those records. I have no concems and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ; C Prescott, FCCA, ATT Pond House 56 Station Road Haddenham October 10th 2025 Page4 **Haddenham Pre-School Receipts and Payments Account** ## **For the year ended 31 July 2025** |**Receipts:**
