Beauchief Pre-school

Trustees’ annual report For the year ended 31 August 2025

Structure, governance and management

The Charity is operated under the rules of its constitution dated 26 May 1993 and most recently amended 18/03/1998.

Overall management of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the constitution. Day to day project activity is managed and carried out by volunteers and paid staff.

Objectives and activities

The principal objects of the charity are:

To enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups.

Activities during the financial year

During this year the Pre school has worked with the families of 24 children in the local area, supporting their early learning journey. This entails working with the EYFS national curriculum to provide educational activities in the seven areas of development. This covers outdoor and indoor activities providing craft, role play, physical exercise, stories, games and a whole lot more. As well as providing sun, educational activities for children during the Pre-school sessions we also work with the families and outside agencies, such as Sheffield City Council Autism and school readiness support teams, where necessary to provide the best learning outcomes for the children.

The trustees have continued to support the Pre-school through fundraising with a Christmas fair this year. The money has been spent on new resources to enhance the children’s learning environment including themed toys and new books.

Reserves Policy

Beauchief Pre-school’s main source of funding is the early years funding from the government. The Pre-school aims to have 3 months running costs in the reserves, approximately £13,000. This is principally to cover any redundancy payments should the Pre-school have to close at any point.

As at 31 August 2025 there was £33,659 cash funds held in total unrestricted reserves (2024: £31,180). £7,136 relates to grant income received in advance of the next school year.

Of this amount, £13,633 (reserves costs) are held in a deposit account to cover the costs that would arise in the event of the closure of the charity. 02 Jun 2026

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of Beauchief Pre-school (“the Charity”)

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

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.
