Hollies Road Pre School – Treasurer’s Report October 2020
In this very strange year, when nurseries are struggling all over the country we are doing amazingly well. The funding that we were sent for the summer term was not clawed back and we were able to claim a small amount from the government for the private fees we take in. This enabled us to pay the staff their full wages and holiday entitlement. I attach the figures for the year. We have a really healthy budget, which we may need. As the year goes on, and staff have to isolate with their children, we don’t know how long it is going to go on for before we have a vaccine.
The government has also sent us the amount of funding that we had last September, when we had one of our best starts ever to the academic year. At the moment all looks rosy – long may it continue!
Thanks,
Suzanne

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HOLLIES ROAD PLAYGROUP
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s Board of Trustees are responsible for the preparation of financial statements. The charity’s Board of 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 financial statements under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
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 Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from the 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s Statements
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
2) which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
