Chair Person Report 2019-2020
This is a summary of preschool activity for school year September 2019 - July 2020. We are unable to hold an AGM due to Covid 19 restrictions. AGM would have been held October 2020.
I would like to thank the existing committee (Charlotte Crane, Victoria Fraser, Nicola Williams). I would like to thank the staff for this year’s hard work and dedication, I feel that despite the restrictions of Covid we have managed to remain open to initially vulnerable and children of keyworkers and later in the summer to groups of children in restricted bubbles. Along with a huge thank you to our parents who have helped raise some brilliant funds at our restricted fundraising events this year!
Before Covid we continued with our usual fundraising and parent events for Christmas 2019. Unfortunately all other events and parent inclusion activities were suspended. We held a small school leavers ceremony on the back field at the end of July following Covid restrictions. Since returning in September we have opened our doors to full requested sessions and put procedures in place to adhere to government Covid guidelines.
committees members have agreed to remain on our committee for a second year.
Charlotte Crane has been voted as chairperson, Victoria Fraser as our treasurer and Nicola Williams as secretary.
All committee members have a DBS check and are registered as trustees with Ofsted.
We will continue to hold our committee meetings online in the hope that later in the year we can meet while still following government guidelines.
Just a quick summary of what myself and the committee members do and have been involved in this year

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
