Report to the trustees / members of Woolton Hill Pre-School On accounts for the year ended 31 August 2023 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 wit h general Direc tions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accountin g records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also incl udes considera tion 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
operate from became unusable and we had to vacate to temporary premises. The local junior school kindly let us take over one of their portacabins and we settled into the new, temporary setting. We strived to keep things as ‘normal’ as possible for the children in spite of the relocation, and we ran 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. It was not an easy time and with the temporary setting being smaller than the church hall, we could not offer places to all of the families that would have liked them. We look forward to being able to return to our original premises as soon as possible, but this is in the hands of the Church Hall committee, their insurers and the builders instructed to remedy the flooring issues.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
consider the 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
offers to the parents and children.
