Achievements and performance

Badger Pre-School have had a good year, full in capacity. In September we started back after the holidays and welcomed a whole new intake of children. During November all key persons had meetings with parents and discussed their children’s progress. Hallet photography came in and took individual photos of the children. We also supported Children in Need Charity doing dress up days. December was a busy month full of glitter, dress up days and parties. We held a raffle to raise funds.

In the new year we welcomed more new children and held some events, dress up, raffles and open mornings. In July we held a summer raffle to raise funds and said goodbye to our children going to school.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees

of Badger Pre-School

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31[st] August 2023, which are set out on pages 1 to 6.

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 Commissioners 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, no matter has come to my attention:

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 comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

have not been met; or

to which, in my opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
