## **Trustees Report for 2021 – 2022** 

This year has been filled with lots of ups and downs, staffing problems and low number of children attending the setting. The impact of Covid has been ongoing, many parents not wanting their children to attend early years settings. 

Staff moral has been low at times and a lot of emphasis has been put into staff well-being, regular meetings and one to one meetings. 

The setting has had to focus on building up the number of children attending. We have achieved this by providing information on our Facebook page, also adding lots of photographs of the attending children at play. 

Due to no increase in funding it has been difficult to maintain a profit this year due to low number of children and the impact of Covid.

## **Independent Examiners Report for the Accounts of Batley Rd PreSchool 20182019** 

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

The Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 

The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section  43(2)  of  the  Charities  Act  1993  (The  Act)  and  that  an  independent examination is needed. **It is my responsibility to:** 

- Examine the accounts (under section 43(3) (a) of the Act) 

- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charities Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion of the accounts 

## **Independent Examiners Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has to my attention: - Gives me reasonable cause to believe that any material respects the requirements 

- To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act 



- To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met 

- To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
