We now also hold a extra 20 minute session –3.20 club, to help parents with children who attend the school local to us as they changed their school times.
We have 4 members of staff employed, Jane Young is still the manager and Jessica Kelly is still the deputy manager. One staff member resigned.c
We are full capacity this coming September.
The whole building has been upgraded and new resources provided to help and support the wide range of children we care for. Our outdoor area has also been enhanced to meet the criteria within the EYFS.
Financial Review
The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Statement of Financial Activities set out on page 5 shows how our funds were raised and applied during the year.
This statement separates funds, which the charity itself controls – unrestricted funds, from funds which have to be spent in a manner determined by the donor – restricted funds.
Finances continue to be well controlled as we reinvest all monies in the charity to provide the best care and educational equipment available.

Financial statements
The accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2024 are appended herewith. There was a net profit for the year of £30,452 (2023 – Loss of £3,653 ).
Reserves
The trustees believe the current net asset position is sufficient for the future needs of the organisation. However, these levels are to be reviewed annually.
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
Charity law requires that the trustees prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently:
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the charity, within the framework of trust law. They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records. Such records will both disclose the financial position of the charity at any time with reasonable accuracy and enable the trustees to ensure that the financial statements are prepared by them under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011, and that those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and the requirements of the governing documents.
By order of the board
Jane Young

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Tunstead Pre School
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024
Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011);
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners’ report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiners’ statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
b. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
