Pre-school lost a lot of children to reception in July and because of the low birth rate and regeneration of the area like all childcare providers we are suffering with number intake. As chairperson with the committee, we decided to lower our age of children to 2-year-olds and send staff on courses accordingly. We have updated website and started to use social media more to attract families further afield, so far this has had no impact on numbers. We are limited to opening times as it is a shared building. Staff have emphasizeda lot of activities around language as this is having a big impact on children learning.
Our children visited the local over 50 club and performed songs and told stories. We hope to build a relationship between the two groups.
We have re-visited Covent Garden, plus continued visits to the local library. Children have visited the local market, the Chinese supermarket to celebrate Chinese New Year. We visited Vauxhall city farm, Imperial war museum and many local parks, using the environment as a learning tool. Children took part in world book day and had a visit from Peppa pig.Our Main outing was to Southend as children took a vote and this was their choice of venue.
Staff have kept up networking with other nurseries to share ideas and support each other.

|Respective responsibilities oftrustees
andexaminer||The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of theaccounts. The charity's
trustees consider thatan audit is notrequired for this year under section 144 of the||
|||CharitiesAct2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.||
|||it ismy responsibility to:||
|||
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,||
|||-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity||
|||Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and||
|||+
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.||
|Basis ofindependent examiner’s.||Myexamination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the||
|statement||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 the 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 connection with my examination, no matter has come tomy attention (other than||
|as||that disclosed below):||
|||(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the||
|||requirements:||
|||+
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the||
|||Charities Act;||
|||+
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||
|||understanding of the accounts to be reached.||
