Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	To provide high quality sessional care for children aged 2-4 years. We provide a happy, secure and stimulating environment for all children to play, learn, develop and promote a positive relationship with parents/carers sharing and discussing the children’s achievements. The charity commission’s guidance on public benefit is always kept in mind at trustee meetings throughout the year. As always providing a safe and secure environment for children aged 2-4 years to learn and develop in is our main priority. Children are encouraged to grow as individuals and we have a generous staff to child ratio. We follow the early years foundation stage guidance in our Pre school and report on a regular basis to parents/carers through conversations and a learning journal we hold for every child on how they are developing at preschool alongside the EYFS.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	We prepare the children for their next stage in life, going on to Primary education. We have a strong transition process with our local primary school. At our pre school we welcome all children and families. Winteringham Under 5’s promotes healthy eating and oral health. Our Preschool is greatly supported by our local community.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	All of our trustees undertake work for the charity on a voluntary basis and they have brilliant relationships with parents/carers and staff. Most of the trustees are parents themselves or have previously used the preschool as a childcare provider. This means they are extremely familiar with the way the preschool operates and all the trustees have the childrens interest at heart.

Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	In the past year the pre school have participated in many activities, events and trips. In the Autumn term we had a fundraising event, which was a Halloween Disco. At Christmas we had our big fundraising event, Santa’s sleigh. The event is loved and is very well supported by our village community. We had our Christmas concert and the children all received a gift. We also had a Christmas craft afternoon (this was also a fundraising event) were children and their families came and enjoyed making a variety of Christmas Crafts. We had visits from Music bugs, which the children loved singing along and joining in. We had a float at Winterton Agricultural show, the children and parents all enjoyed taking part. In the summer term the children who were starting school in September enjoyed transition over several weeks at our local primary school. This helped them familiarise themselves with the school. This transition helps the children settle into the school well. We enjoyed our summer trip to the Pink pig farm.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
