STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity is governed by a document known as a constitution. It is an unincorporated association administered by trustees who are elected during the year.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal purpose of the Pre-School is to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
The focus of our activities remains as the enhancement and development of children under statutory school age and a programme linked to the Early Years Foundation Statue (EYFS) and infant orientated events and activities.
This benefits the children by developing their confidence and social skills and helps them to settle into school when leaving. It also offers opportunities for activities to be offered that may not otherwise be experienced.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The pre-school is a charity that is managed by a volunteer chair and committee who support the preschool manager – Lyn Cousins and her team. This was our first year since the COVID-19 pandemic where we faced less challenges than the previous two years, with the second half of the year with little to no restrictions.
In October we received the Co-op Community causes funding, of which we were part of last year. We managed to upgrade our outside area with new equipment and even manged to get some new toys to use for both inside and outside areas.
Unfortunately yet again Christmas was overshadowed by the pandemic with restrictions put in place and our Christmas performance to be behind closed doors. However, the team did not disappoint and again shared on tapestry to parents, videos and photos of the performance.
During the first part of the year, there were high cases of COVID-19 in the UK. The team made sure measures where in place to reduce the risks of bringing COVID-19 into the pre-school so that we had no staff shortage and stayed open.
In February all remaining restrictions were lifted which brought back ‘normal life’. This meant that in the half term the children completed a ‘Colour Hunt’ of which we had a lot of children participate in and enjoy. This was also a great start to our fundraising for the year.
During the Easter term we managed to do a raffle before the Easter break. We had a fantastic response from both parents and Companies for donations after not being able to for two years.
Our Summer term was rather busy. We firstly celebrated the Pre-schools 50th Anniversary with a party for Staff, Parents and children on the field in May. We also had the ‘Strawberry Fayre’ where we provided the cream teas. We had a great day with volunteers from the staff and parents helping out on the day and also donations from parents and family members of cakes and treats to sell.
Then came our graduation for the children which was much enjoyed by parents seeing the children doing a performance and getting to say good bye to staff members.
Throughout the year parents have still continued to pay the voluntary snack contributions. This is much appreciated as this helps the pre-school enjoy lots of different snacks as well as other consumables.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The objective of a charity is not to make a profit but to ensure that expenses are covered. The PreSchool's financial results show a surplus this year of £7,580 compared to a surplus of £2,485 last year. The increase in this years surplus was mainly driven by the lifting of restrictions which meant that the Pre-School could run as ‘normal’ and fundraising events could be held as before.
The surplus will increase the balance of the reserves to remain in line with guidelines for redundancies in the unlikely event of the setting’s closure in line with our reserves policy.
The Pre-School has a reserves policy in place to ensure that it can provide a consistent level of service protecting against unforeseen losses to income or increases in expenses and that it’s liabilities can be met should the Pre-School need to close. The aim is to build and maintain a reserve of three months income.
2
YOUTH CLUB PRE SCHOOL
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
The committee will annually review this reserve level to ensure that it will meet the following:
-
Statutory redundancy liability for all staff.
-
Pay for the notice period required to be given to staff.
-
Outstanding holiday pay entitlement for staff
-
Outstanding bills such as premises rent.
-
Repayment of Government Funding Entitlement for sessions not provided.
In addition the Pre-School aim to build and maintain a reserve of one month’s income to allow a small contingency to cover a temporary shortfall, for example due to low children numbers in the autumn term.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Our focus for the future is to continue to provide an outstanding pre-school for the next cohort of children. We recognise that due to the pandemic and ‘lockdown life’ there are some impacts to development and we hope to continue to work with parents as early years professional in understanding and providing the right kind of environment for children to learn and develop.
We are looking forward to organising this year’s fundraising events and hope to create more events for parents and carers to meet.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF YOUTH CLUB PRE SCHOOL
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 12.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me reasonable 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.

The focus of our activities remains as the enhancement and development of children under statutory school age and a programme linked to the Early Years Foundation Statue (EYFS) and infant orientated events and activities.
This benefits the children by developing their confidence and social skills and helps them to settle into school when leaving. It also offers opportunities for activities to be offered that may not otherwise be experienced.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The pre-school is a charity that is managed by a volunteer chair and committee who support the preschool manager – Lyn Cousins and her team. This was our first year since the COVID-19 pandemic where we faced less challenges than the previous two years, with the second half of the year with little to no restrictions.
In October we received the Co-op Community causes funding, of which we were part of last year. We managed to upgrade our outside area with new equipment and even manged to get some new toys to use for both inside and outside areas.
Unfortunately yet again Christmas was overshadowed by the pandemic with restrictions put in place and our Christmas performance to be behind closed doors. However, the team did not disappoint and again shared on tapestry to parents, videos and photos of the performance.
During the first part of the year, there were high cases of COVID-19 in the UK. The team made sure measures where in place to reduce the risks of bringing COVID-19 into the pre-school so that we had no staff shortage and stayed open.
In February all remaining restrictions were lifted which brought back ‘normal life’. This meant that in the half term the children completed a ‘Colour Hunt’ of which we had a lot of children participate in and enjoy. This was also a great start to our fundraising for the year.
During the Easter term we managed to do a raffle before the Easter break. We had a fantastic response from both parents and Companies for donations after not being able to for two years.
Our Summer term was rather busy. We firstly celebrated the Pre-schools 50th Anniversary with a party for Staff, Parents and children on the field in May. We also had the ‘Strawberry Fayre’ where we provided the cream teas. We had a great day with volunteers from the staff and parents helping out on the day and also donations from parents and family members of cakes and treats to sell.
Then came our graduation for the children which was much enjoyed by parents seeing the children doing a performance and getting to say good bye to staff members.
Throughout the year parents have still continued to pay the voluntary snack contributions. This is much appreciated as this helps the pre-school enjoy lots of different snacks as well as other consumables.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The objective of a charity is not to make a profit but to ensure that expenses are covered. The PreSchool's financial results show a surplus this year of £7,580 compared to a surplus of £2,485 last year. The increase in this years surplus was mainly driven by the lifting of restrictions which meant that the Pre-School could run as ‘normal’ and fundraising events could be held as before.
The surplus will increase the balance of the reserves to remain in line with guidelines for redundancies in the unlikely event of the setting’s closure in line with our reserves policy.
The Pre-School has a reserves policy in place to ensure that it can provide a consistent level of service protecting against unforeseen losses to income or increases in expenses and that it’s liabilities can be met should the Pre-School need to close. The aim is to build and maintain a reserve of three months income.

YOUTH CLUB PRE SCHOOL
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
The committee will annually review this reserve level to ensure that it will meet the following:
-
Statutory redundancy liability for all staff.
-
Pay for the notice period required to be given to staff.
-
Outstanding holiday pay entitlement for staff
-
Outstanding bills such as premises rent.
-
Repayment of Government Funding Entitlement for sessions not provided.
In addition the Pre-School aim to build and maintain a reserve of one month’s income to allow a small contingency to cover a temporary shortfall, for example due to low children numbers in the autumn term.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Our focus for the future is to continue to provide an outstanding pre-school for the next cohort of children. We recognise that due to the pandemic and ‘lockdown life’ there are some impacts to development and we hope to continue to work with parents as early years professional in understanding and providing the right kind of environment for children to learn and develop.
We are looking forward to organising this year’s fundraising events and hope to create more events for parents and carers to meet.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF YOUTH CLUB PRE SCHOOL
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 12.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me reasonable 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.
