and educational experience for children aged 2- 5 years. We
are situated within a small community that does not have the
beneft of many other childcare providers.
Our Pre School and our staf are committed to the social,
emotional and educational learning of the children who attend
our setting. Our Pre School Manager and stafng Team plan
enriching activities in line with the EYFS framework that also
refect a child’s individual learning needs. We have a skilled
Stafng Team who monitor and support each individual child’s
development and communicate their learning journey with
parents and Carers.
We provide early year’s care and education to children, aged
2-5 years old. We have sourced and provided training to our
stafng group to ensure that they are up to date with
mandatory training for their role and also to support their
continuing professional development and needs of the
children within our Pre School. We employ a high staf ratio of
staf members to children and are very much of the view that
our children’s needs are paramount and therefore our stafng
costs are high.
Despite the rising costs of operating, we remain committed to
the needs of the children within our community and review
our expenditure closely. In addition we plan fundraising
activities to ensure our children have access to enriching
resources and activities.||

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[St] Mach 2022.
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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 confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting 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.
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.
