Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity 2024 to 2025 has seen some changes in the pre-school very much for during the year the better overall and in the Spring of 2025, the pre-school found itself in a better financial and sustainable place then before. The pre-school has employed a new bank staff member this year, Jo, who brings a wealth of experience and quality to the pre-school. Although an extra person on the payroll, Jo enables the ladies to support more children per session and this includes children who may have further learning challenges. November 2024 saw the addition of Pippa Long to the setting as Administrator. Pippa brings the expertise of being already knowledgeable with charity administration after running local Brownies. She has brought the accounts upto date, submitted the Charity Commission report and generally got everything upto date. She has been a pillar stone in the changes in strength that the nursery has experienced in the last year, in what I know to be a very hard job having done it (less well than Pippa) for a few months. Pippa has recently worked on a gift aid claim within the pre-school enabling us to obtain more money for the pound donated to the charity. We produced tea towels Christmas 2024 with a local printing company for parents to purchase which gave us a small profit. Three local grants from the council has enabled Gary Cooper’s team to make our outdoor space safe and replace rotting fencing panels all within the budget set. As part of Pippa’s role she has taken over administration of our Facebook page and website and the Facebook page in particular receives more visitors than before. This with other advertising has in a higher register number. Finally, we have been awarded a ‘GOOD’ in the Ofsted report in March 2025. This is a huge achievement and stamps the seal of success on the pre-school and is a credit to the ladies that work there.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts Section A Independent Examiner’s Report ~~Ee~~ Report to the trustees/ members of Little Melton Pre-School Nursery ~~PC~~ On accounts for the year 1.9.24 – 31.8.25 Charity no 1028459 ended (if any) ~~eeee eee~~ Set out on pages 1-2 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets) ~~Pp~~

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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below *)

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

  4. have not been met; or

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

  6. Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
