## **Trustees Annual Report 2020** 

Since September we remained full until August 2020. We had children from a range of ethnic background. Though we did not have all the staff working we were able to manage with the staff who came into work. 

We had Christmas nativity in the church, and it went very well. For the Christmas tree decoration, we received £38 pounds as donation and as For the Christmas jumper day, £10. Contributions were used towards the children’s Christmas party to buy food and gifts. 

In January we had total of 36 children in on roll. we had twelve 2-year olds and 24 three-year-old children. We had 4 staff working with 2-year olds and 4 staff with 3-year olds. We appointed a new member of staff to support a child with autism, however she resigned after a month due to family circumstances. 

Until March 20[th] everything went very well then due to the covid we had only 4 children coming in because their parents were key workers. During this time, we were able to sort and organise the rooms. Every day 2 staff worked throughout the pandemic period. 

We closed for the Easter and reopened on the 23[rd] of April with 4 children attending. Then we sent a survey asking parents opinion regarding re-opening the nursery. To which 20 parents replied. In that 12 children wanted to come back and 8 wanted to stay behind.  So, until August I had 5 staff working in rotation. With the committee chair’s permission, we paid risk allowance to the staff who physically came into the school. 

We organised the farm trip but unfortunately it was cancelled due to the covid. On the last day of July, we had a graduation ceremony for the children who were leaving Abacus. 10 children were graduated to reception. Whilst others moved to the schools where their siblings attend. Graduation ceremony took place in the garden, all the parents were invited. They were asked to wear masks; garden alleyway door was open for them to enter and to leave. Maintaining the social

Independent exèmltterfs report to the trustees of 'Abacus Pre-School'_ Charity No. 1038134
I report on the attached accolrnts of the company for the year ended 31,, AuEUSt 2020.
ftespectlve responslbSlltle5 of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit
is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charlties Act 2011 and that an independent
ex3mination is needed. The Charities Act requires.the charity to prepare a receipts and payments
account and a statement of assets and liabilitles. l am qualified to undertake the examination by
being a qualified member of the ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibility to..
examlne the accounts under sectlon 145 of the 2011 Act,.
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145 of the 2011 Act,. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls cf Independent examlner'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 anv
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trusteeJ concerning
any such motters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be
required in an audit, consequently no opinion is given Bs 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 connection with my examlnatlon, no matter has come to my attention..
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the
reqijirements..
ro i(eep acrouniin¥ record.5 in a¢Loriiance wiin seriion 130 or ine_ CnariTie5 ACT,.
and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and 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
undErstanoing ot tiie accounrs to.tip reacheo.
