Section D Achievements and performance sMMary0f the main achievements of the charity during the year Staff Report for acadenlic year 2020121 as presented by Nicky Puttlck [Prfrschool Manager] at the AGM held on 21 September 2021: Well, here we are forour2 zoom AGM; thankyou for taking the time to be here tonight. I'm sure we didn't antlcipate what would be in store for us when V met last Novemberl Icovid 19 Lockdown) But let's celebrate how we got through it... firstly from the huge Lsnderstanding from our parents and carers when we asked you to choose between settings if yourchild attended morethan one. We also had to delay ourjanuary Caterpillar5 starting until after the February half term. It must have been very difficult for you as parents when our open dCr pollcy was re5tritted and you were asked to leave your child at the 8ate. They all coped incredibly well Iso did youl) Christmas was beginning to feel NOT a lot like Christmas, when families were told that they couldn't visit each other over Christmas and had to stay in their own 'bubbles'. However. we hope that we managed to bring the Butterfly families a Itttle cheer when Mark Chaddock filmed each bubble performing their NatNtty. What a ffi)y it was when our'road to un-bubblinl led us to remove the outside barrier and the children were able to mix outside. Then with the rate of infertion decreasing and the vaccination program well on its way we were able to allow the children to mix inside with free access to both side5 of Pre-school. though different, we had a very meaningful Thanksgiving Celebration around the cross outside the thurch. The children held up photos of themselves doing their favourite thing in Pre-school. What a lovely array of activities were displayed - snack time. water play, painting. dressing up with their friend, spinning on the trapeze. building with the large blocks, just to name a few... After our leavers. Princess and Pirate party we all continued the celebration with a picnic and live music organised by the parents. This was such a wonderful opportunity, particularly after so much disruption to spend time with the families to say a proper'goodbye. and wishing them well on theirjournev to school in September. We're excited about what this new year at Pre-school will bring- already we've seen great resilience and resourcefulness, awe and wonder at finding snails and spiders hiding in the outside tsp housing, fantastic creations in block building, painting and collages. The children are 'buzzinB' and we really want to be part of their journey as they discover and consolidate their leaming and friendships through their play. Just a reminder that'plaw 15 not aNYays can1 Today they worked really hard playing in the mud,. learrsing to share resour$. listening to each other and their ideas. and discovering new ways to do things. Although this is only the Caterpillarfs 2 week with us. we saw some lovely caring PSE development within the group. One child was a little upset SO another child Spontaneous collerted two puzzles and gave one to her, and they sat down together to do them. I remember a reception teacher coming to our AGM a few years ago and sayin8 how important it 15 to remember to have your's a day'_ She wasn't talking about your fruit and vegetables lalthough very importantl, but the importance of reading 5 stories a day to and with your child to foster a love of books and readin& which reminded me of this quote from Dr. Seuss.... You're never too old. too whacky, too wild To pick up a book and read to a childl We have some lovely photos you sent in of your children read1nsharg books March 2012 TAR

Section D Achievements and performance with you. but we've always room for more- so please feel free to send them in or email them to U5. We welcomed Sue as a volunteer to ourgroup on Wednesday and Friday mornings. Please do make her feel wekome when you see her. I'd like to say a huge thank you to our brilliant staff team who work so hard to make Pre-sch(1 a fun, caring and interesting place to be. Also, to our committee. for giving up your time and supporting us throughout Covid and beyond! And to Fr Tony for his support. thoughtfulness and understanding. Lastfy, thanks to the children in Pre-school who each have their own unique gifts that they bring to our group. They are a credit to you. TAR March 2012

Charity no (if any) 1020613

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

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 144 trustees and examiner of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and as amended by FRS 102 effective 1[st] January 2015 and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 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 matter has come to my attention (other than examiner's statement that disclosed below *)

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011 amended 2015
have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Section B Disclosure

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material problems.

Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose .

This year there was an increase in the overall balance of funds & despite the lockdown due to Covid. I do understand the Trustees concern in investing, even in COIF Charities Investment Fund or the COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund. That investments can go down as well as up, over all this has not been the case with COIF which over this year where paying out around 3%. I would still advise an investment there.

At the moment the balance on reserve account is £ 30,039.23 and the current account is £ 55,390.34 – giving a total of £ 85,429.57. The Trustees feel they need a reserve of £ 40K, so increase the Reserve account to £ 40,000, leave £ 25,429.57 or £35,429.57 in the current account and transfer £ 20,000 or £ 10,000 to an investment. This would be a prudent management of the money spreading the risks and being careful with the nursery funds.

I note there is a £ 13,600 Covid related grant this should be recorded as separate income as a Covid related grant & not I other income. I know this is being a little pedantic, but it is as HMRC is stating they want to see these monies.

I am aware that you have only claimed a small amount of Furlough payment as you felt with the grant you didn’t need to. I would advise in the future you claim what ever you are entitled to, as you never know what may be needed.
