Holmbridge Pre-School Trustees’ Report (continued)
Review of Progress and Achievements
Holmbridge Pre-School was set up in 1970 in the premises of Holme Silver Band and since then it has provided an important and valuable service in village community. The Pre-School is a registered charity which offers a caring, safe learning environment where children learn through play and develop many skills. In April 2014 the Out of School Club was created to provide wrap around care for primary aged children from the local schools.
The Pre-School is managed by a committee of parents and members of the community who volunteer their time to support it. The committee is responsible for reviewing policy and practice, fundraising and allocation of funds.
Our accounts for the year ended 31 July 22 show net positive receipts of £3,331 net deficit of £3,547 for the previous year.
The Out of School Club has improved numbers of children attending the setting during the year to July 2022 since the Covid pandemic. The number of children attending the Pre-school during the year to July 2022 has been lower than in previous years however this is a reflection of the age range of the community.
This year we welcomed a new temporary member of staff to the team. She has fitted into the setting well.
The Staff have continued to further their own knowledge during the year by attending training courses and by accessing online training.
Reserves
We are mindful to retain a proportion of the reserves to protect the charity against a possible net shortfall due to low attendance figures and potential changes in funding from the local education authority.
Sufficient reserves must also be maintained such that in the unlikely event of closure costs including staff redundancies can be met.
Any surplus is available to be spent on the pre-school’s needs as identified and agreed by the staff and committee. A proportion of the reserves will be used to make repairs and improvements to the setting.

Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts of Holmbridge Pre-School for the year ended 31 July 2022
I report on the accounts of the charity as set out on pages 5 to 8.
Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiner
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of the section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act; following the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s 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 seeking 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 Examiner’s Statement
In the course of 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 proper accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be draw in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
