Towards the end of the year the children were also pleased to take part in a Wheels in motion event to raise money for the Pre School. The Pre School continued to work on and improve the Good Ofsted inspection result that they had previously achieved. The staff and committee continued to be committed to strive for ongoing improvement. 5 March **2012** **TAR** DocuSign Envelope ID: 08D8F2BA-9A28-4892-A508-78781C99CE94 ## **Section E** ## **Financial review** The charity has historically maintained a reserve fund to provide **Brief statement of the** contingency against fluctuations in income against expenditure and to **charity’s policy on reserves** safeguard the charity against challenges ahead which include a fluctuation in children attending the setting on a daily basis. **Details of any funds materially in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F** ## **Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** ## **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Charlotte Lewis **Position (eg Secretary, Chair, etc)** Chair **Date** 08/11/2023 6 March **2012** **TAR** DocuSign Envelope ID: 4DFAEDB6-07AF-4B69-BB13-FDA8345919A2 ## **- Hermitage Pre school Playgroup Registered Charity No: 1031844** ## **Receipts and Payments account for the year ended 31 August 2023** |**Receipts**
