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	Monkton Under 5's understands that children develop quickly in the early years and that good parenting and high- quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up. Throughout the year, Monkton Under Fives has sought to ensure the four guiding principles as set out in the EYFS shape practice in their setting. These are: ~ Every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. ~ Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships. ~ Children learn and develop well in enabling environments. ~ Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. On average 25 children benefitted from the education provided by the setting each month. It has provided structured and specific learning activities in the seven areas of learning and development identified by the EYFS. These are ~ Communication and language ~ Physical development ~ Personal, social and emotional development ~ Literacy ~ Mathematics ~ Understanding the world ~ Expressive Arts and Design In September 2017, following an inspection by Ofsted, Monkton Under 5's was inspected by OFSTED and awarded a good in all areas. This was an excellent result given the setting had undergone a period of change.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Monkton Under Fives Playgroup

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021.

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 (‘the 2011 Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’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 2011 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 charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records

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