Report to the trustees / members of Woolton Hill Pre-School On accounts for the year ended 31 August 2022 Charity No. 1029646

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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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 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 41 of the 1993 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 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.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The charity is controlled by constitution.

Organisational Structure

The trustees form the management team, with the day to day operations led by the pre-school manager.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Woolton Hill Pre-School is primarily for children 2 to 4 years in Woolton Hill, and also offers a breakfast club for children up to 8 years old. The pre-school offers a friendly and warm environment encouraging children to learn through play using the Early Years Foundation Stage. We offer flexible term-time hours and are located in the Church Hall, which provides a safe, spacious environment in the centre of the village, adjacent to the village infant school, St Thomas'.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE The pre-school year was busy as ever. The Manager left for pastures new and we were very happy to appoint the Deputy Manager in the role of Manager. We had an Ofsted inspection and took on board the action points from that, working hard to improve ourselves. At the follow-up inspection a few months after, we were pleased to be on the right track, thanks to the staff’s commitment and hard work. In the post-covid era, we were pleased to be able to run our annual programme of activities such as the Christmas nativity, an Easter egg hunt and summer Sports Day. Staff remained committed to making pre-school a happy and engaging environment for the children.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

following level of reserves to be prudent for the organisation at the current time:

One term’s running costs £25 – 30,000 Winding up costs (redundancy etc) £10 - £15,000 Total reserves required £35 – 45,000

To ensure the reserves are maintained a separate deposit account has been set up. Should the level of reserves rise above the amount indicated within this policy, the additional money and any interest that has been earned will be used to benefit the pre-school and the service that it offers to the parents and children.
