Fledgelings Pre-School Playgroup Report of the Trustees Continued For the year ended 31 July 2023
Chair's report
I would like to start by saying a massive thank you to ALL the Fledgelings Pre-School Staff, who continue to provide such a nurturing, enriching, positive setting and this has been highlighted when we recently received a lovely email from the school, in which most of the leaving students have attended, expressing 'how well the children understood routines and classroom manners', and also commented on 'how close and bonded all the children are'.
Hearing this is always such a rewarding feeling. The staff are always keen to better themselves and often complete training courses to expand their knowledge to enhance what they provide to the setting. Currently Annmarie is partaking in The National Professional Qualification in Early Years Leadership and Amy is on an enhanced SENCO course. Ina is completing an Early Years Foundation stage intensive course along with Annmarie. This provides a refresher of the EYFS.
Within Fledgelings Pre-school this year we have seen some amazing changes. We have had the new children's toilet block fitted, providing three child friendly toilets in which one has an accessible toilet. Plus a brand new functional kitchen, which the children have enjoyed using to bake and cook at various times. These were installed over the Easter holidays along with new flooring, and other then a few hiccups it all went to plan. This has made such a difference in the setting. We have taken steps looking into further bettering the setting by having an outdoor canopy installed. This is still in discussion. This would provide an extended all year around area for the children whilst combating a bird poo issue that is happening in the outside area.
When I sat to look back at the year in preparation to write this report, I felt a sense of achievement at all that we have done throughout the year as a Committee and school to fundraise, we:
-
Took part in Glade's Christmas Fair and The Church Institute's Fair.
-
Held a Valentine's popcorn stall and raffle.
-
Hosted an Easter raffle.
-
Took part in Glade's Summer Fair.
-
Had multiple dress up days in school and celebrated the Kings Coronation.
-
Produced tea towels with the children's art work.
-
Were part of the Tesco Community Grant Scheme.
-
Had School photos taken.
-
Regular clothing collections have taken place.
We also did an external fundraiser to celebrate the NHS turning 75, and raised £100 for the WiSH Charity. The children's photo featured on the front page of the NHS Staff magazine. We then had Dr. Brown Bear come to visit to receive the cheque which the children enjoyed.
I want to thank the Committee for all their voluntary work they continue to do, including being here for this meeting. I understand everyone has their own personal life and commitments, but we wouldn't be able to do what we do without you.
Unfortunately, it is time to say a farewell and big thank you to Claire and Kieron for all they have done for Fledgelings over time, especially Claire and her many years on the Committee seeing us through a lot of hurdles to get to where we are now. I would also like to thank Hayley and Ashleigh although they're not stepping fully away. They will be staying to help with fundraising where possible.
I look forward to watching Fledgelings Pre-School continue to grow in the coming year, and to see what we get up to.

Fledgelings Pre-School Playgroup Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees For the year ended 31 July 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity'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 examiners statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
