LEVEN PRE-SCHOOL
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 6 August 2020
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 6 August 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objective of the pre-school is to enhance the development and education of children from the age of 2 years old until they start primary school. This is open to all children within the local community, regardless of race, culture, religion, means or ability. The strategy for doing this is to employ trained staff and provide suitable equipment which allows the pre-school to work within the regulations and guidelines set by Ofsted.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
During the past year the pre-school has had a large intake of children with some leaving this year to start their education at the local primary schools. These children have left having already started to achieve many of the early learning goals. All children have been given the opportunity to learn through play, one to one learning and exploration in the enclosed nature park.
The coronavirus hit at the start of 2020, and this stopped the pre-school being able to carry out the usual fundraising activities as the pre-school closed and group gatherings were not possible. We were able to carry out some fundraising events prior to this such as the photography sessions and Christmas concert.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The policy of the Trustees is to aim to keep between 3 and 6 months expenditure in reserve at all times. This will enable the pre-school to keep running during the first term of the year when finances are always a struggle due to numbers of children falling.
The principle funding sources are fees received from parents, ERYC early years funding for 2, 3 and 4 years old up to 5 sessions per week, fundraising by the committee and occasionally grants that are available.
In 2019 it became apparent a large financial loss had been made due to fraudulent activity over several years by the previous treasurer. This treasurer was removed at the start of 2019 and extra financial policies were put in place to ensure this does not happen again.
The current police investigation is still ongoing and once the outstanding debt is repaid the charity will replenish the reserves.
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees plan to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements and continued demand by the local community.
The pre-school will continue to work within Ofsted Regulations.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The constitution, which is the governing document, specifies the aims and powers of the pre-school and states the requirements for the election and running of a committee, when the AGM should be held and ensures that proper accounting records are kept, which comply with current legislation.
The Trustees are appointed at the AGM and can be parents/relatives of children who attend the pre-school, or anybody within the local community, who is not in paid employment by the pre-school. No other person can appoint a trustee.
The pre-school employs a manager who is not a trustee or member of the committee and therefore cannot vote on any decisions made.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEVEN PRE-SCHOOL
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Leven Pre-School
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Leven Pre-School (the Trust) for the year ended 6 August 2020.
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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do 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.
