Beansheaf Community Pre-School is open for 9 sessions a week due to the high demand for spaces. Each session is 2.5 hours long but children are welcome to take 2 sessions in a row with a lunch club included which allows children to receive continuous care from 9.20am to 2.30pm on all days except a Wednesday. The all day sessions provide a greater flexibility for parents who may wish to work, and also introduces children gently to the type of day they will experience once they start full time education. The lunch club is also available to children who only attend a morning session but who may wish to stay and have lunch with their friends. A breakfast club operates everyday for 30 minutes before Pre-School begins which gives parents the flexibility to drop children off at 08:50am for a small charge. Children are provided with a choice of breakfasts and they also have access to all the Pre-School’s toys and equipment, the breakfast club has proved very popular particularly with parents who are going on to work. The Pre-Schools aim is to educate children entirely through play in a safe and caring environment. Children are free to choose which activities they do each session, these include playing on the climbing frame, dressing up, role play, painting, playing with play dough and a number of arts and crafts activities that go on each day. Children have access to a laptop allowing them to learn computer skills and play educational games, they also have access to an interactive white board which provides them with the same learning opportunities as those 3 year olds attending state funded nurseries. The preschool has its own private park and all children are encouraged to go outdoors at least once during each Pre-School session, the children not only have toys and games to play with outside but also have the opportunity to get their hands dirty learning about nature and planting flowers and vegetables. In the summer months a larger percentage of time is spent outdoors. Group time takes place each session, where the children are encouraged to join in singing songs, learning the days of the week, months of the year and to discuss the environment around them. Children are encouraged to play together, to learn about sharing and about helping one another. The PreSchool is open to all children from the ages of 2 to 5 years old. 3 year olds are funded for 15 hours a week by the government from the term following their third birthday until they reach school age. 2 year olds from disadvantaged families may also be eligible for government funding for a maximum of 15 hours a week. The Pre-School serves the whole community, it has children from all different financial and ethnic backgrounds, it provides access to toys and equipment that some children may not otherwise have the opportunity to enjoy, and it allows parents free time to spend with younger siblings who may not otherwise benefit from one to one interaction. ## **Public Benefit** The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. ## **Reference and Administrative Details** ## **Trustees** Mrs Karen Albanese - Chair Mr Scott Thomas (appointed 16/09/2025) Ms Laura Hallett (appointed 16/09/2025) Mr Jordan Mccabe (appointed 16/09/2025) Ms Stephanie Kitching (appointed 16/09/2025) Mr Craig Inman (appointed 16/09/2025) Ms Gemma Humphreys Mrs Kirsty Inman ## **Charity Number** 1024607 ## **Principal Address** Beansheaf Community Centre Charrington Road Calcot, Reading Berkshire RG31 7AW Page 1 **Beansheaf Community Preschool Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 August 2025** ## **Independent Examiner** Theresa Bowers Accounting Ltd Theresa Bowers Accounting Ltd 1 Charlotte Close Caversham Reading Berkshire RG4 7BY Page 2 **Beansheaf Community Preschool Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 August 2025** The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by: Mrs Karen Albanese Trustee 17/06/2026 17 Jun 2026 Page 3 ## **Beansheaf Community Preschool Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Beansheaf Community Preschool For The Year Ended 31 August 2025** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Beansheaf Community Preschool (the Trust) 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 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 in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents 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.
