Trustees Report to August 2022 Registration No. 1030965

What has happened over the last year?

We have had an improving year after the previous Covid affected years. The academic year started with a good number of children and we are lucky enough to retain well qualified relief staff who have worked regularly throughout the year. Taking on 1 year olds has meant more staff hours due to the ratio of 1:3 but it also means that the children stay with us for a few years, ensuring healthy numbers as we go forward. We had 10 children going on to local school – Buxworth, Taxal & Fernilee, Chapel and Thornsett

We have embedded the Curiosity Approach (which we were accredited with April 2021) and continue to offer forest school sessions, although are limited to the use of the area behind the school. We have added more features to the allotment too and all these ethos’s combined ensure we are unique in our delivery of childcare. The children love being outside and learn so much from the environment, as well as being physically active, jumping in puddles or being mindful, barefoot on the field or lying watching the clouds go by.

We have also taken part or facilitated lots of initiatives from Jubilee celebrations, to tree planting at Sunart, the local rewilding project, to dentists visits to promote good oral hygiene and we continue to go on outings locally – Chatsworth Farm and Gardens, Lyme Park, Buxton Pavillion Gardens to see the dinosaurs and Buxton Museum to name a few.

We have two new Committee Members/Directors, who are parents of current children, and will look to recruit more in the coming year as other committee members move on.

All training is up to date – first aid, safeguarding etc and all staff are now Level 3 qualified or above. Mental health training has been undertaken to help support staff, children and families with the after effects of covid and we are looking to complete speech and language training in the coming year as we feel there is a major need for this.

The staff and committee are looking forward to another successful year for the Preschool, with 20 children already on the register, which we hope to build on over the academic year.

Buxworth Pre-School Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are satisfied that the company is entitled to exemption from the requirement to obtain an audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit in accordance with section 476 of the Act.

The trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of accounts.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the micro-entity provisions and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Sarah Heyes Trustee Approved by the board on 30[th] May 2023

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Buxworth Preschool

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Buxworth Preschool for the year ended 31 August 2022

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('The 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which give me cause to believe that, in any material aspect:

accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act ; or
the accounts did not accord with those records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
