## **Mudeford Wood Playgroup Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 August 2024**
2023 to 2024 was another successful year for the preschool with the setting currently full with a waiting list for spaces.
At the end of the 2024 school year, we had our statuary Ofsted inspection which rated us as ‘Good’ in all areas. The inspector praised the preschool in a number of areas: ‘Warm and welcoming staff greet children and families on arrival’, ‘Staff support children's behaviour with positive praise and encouragement’ and ‘Children’s behaviour is good’.
We were all incredibly proud to have received such a good Ofsted report in these challenging times and it is a credit to Emily, our Manager, and the staff team for their tireless dedication and hard work that we achieved this.
This inspection rounded off what had been a great year for the preschool and the local families who use the setting, despite the ongoing challenges with the venue and the risk of constant eviction from the trustees of the community centre, we continued to provide exemplary dedicated childcare and provided a warm and staff environment where children could thrive.

## **Mudeford Wood Playgroup Independent examiner's report to the trustees of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024 set out on pages 3 to 5.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
