## **Long Clawson Pre School** ## **Trustee’s statements for the year ended 31 August 2023 `** ## **Combined Trustees Statement** The Trustees present their annual accounts for the year ended 31st August 2023 Trustees are satisfied with the performance of the Charity during the year and its financial position at the 31[st] August 2023 and consider the Charity is in a strong position to continue its activities during the coming year, and that’s its assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations. The trustees continue to ensure the pre -school provides additional play and educational equipment to support the needs of the children. Overall, the preschool has been updated to support all areas of development whilst remaining a friendly, warm and welcoming environment which children, parents and staff remain comfortable in The coming year has seen a slight decrease in pupil numbers but the year looks encouraging. Due to the reduction in pupil numbers and also due to changes in their personal circumstances we have lost one of our staff members. However the pre school will continue to be able to support and provide all the pupils needs. As part of our annual review process we have from the start of the current financial year increased both private rate fees for children and staff hourly wage rates. The financial effect of these changes was costed, evaluated and submitted to the Board of Trustees for approval before being implemented. The school remains in a healthy financial position and the trustees remain confident in its sustainability.
