At at EGM in December 2020 it was decided by our membprs to"convert the charity lo a CIO.. This is
lo encourage continuity of trustees and also p￿tect them Irom financlal Ilabllity.
Stru¢tLrrg, gov•rnan¢è and managemenl
Nature of govgrning do¢um*Dt
The Charity TS operated under the ru18s of.its con8ti1ullon adopted Dn 16 June 1993 and 3monded In
November 2012 and November 2015.
Recruitment and apw"nfment of trustees

have thSldren attending th9 pre-school.
Major rlsks and management tsf fhose 17sks
Occupanry Level
Our main Issue whlch w9 face are the numbgr of'Ghildr8n who reach the s181uak)ry age for starting
prirnary school eduGalion, wh￿h we lose from our register and this dra￿¢S{lY affects ocEupany leve18
during Ihe first term of the school year, particually In Septembet.
We advertise locally and complete marketing exerclses such as laaflot drops within Ih?. surroundiro
area. We also hold reseNes lo tak8 into account Ihp oovertng of expenses when our income rates are

Important non-adlu$tlng events aftèr the financlal pèrltxl
The Covld-19 pandeminc has had a major impact on tha preffjthool. numbars dropped gvÈn before
lockdown was annourtced and even though we did have s¢im8 k&yworf(eT children they did not take up
their placos. This lead. lo us furlough all staff excluding the manager. When settings were eventual
allowed lo open again On￿ a small number.of children retumed. We did a forec8St for September and
r8ali5ed that,wa could nol cary on with the number of stsff we had. Regrettably the Irusl&es took the
difficult deusK)n to make some redundancles 3nd to offer ￿ lower hours posititsns to gSvg Ihe sgtting
flexibility and the chance to recovèr. By the end of the year we had made 4 staff redundant, the

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Trentham Playgroup** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the aqcounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2020 which are set out on pages 6 to 20_ 

## **Respective responsibilities of-trustees and examiner** 

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

I report in respect of my examination of the Trentham Playgroup'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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Trentham Playgroup as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

19 Not)4djusting events after the financral perlod
The Covi&19 pand8mlnc has had a major impact on the pr&-school. numbers dropped even before
lockdown was annoUn￿d and even. though w6 did have some keyworker children they did not toke up
'Ihoir place8. This ￿ad to us furbugh all staff excluding the manager. Wh9n settings wére eventually
allowed to open again only a small number of children returned. We did a forecast for September and
realised that we could r￿t carry on wrfh the number of s12ff we had. Regrèttably the Iwslees took the
drffieuk decision to make Eorrie redundanThes and to offer kn lower hours tx)8itions io glve the settlng
nexlblllty 8nd the chance to re￿ver. By the end of the year we had made 4 staff redundant, the
r8mainlng staff were glven more ftexibl8 contracts lo enable us to erjsure working hour5 better
overed the needs of the preschool and cul our w8gES bill. The Iru5tees feel Ihal this has pla￿￿ us In
a better finanaal pJsition in uncertain times. At the Ilme of signlng the accounts Ihls has proved to be
correGL numbers have rfsen sleadlly and we are keeplng costs down.
