Independent examiner's statement

Cobham Community Pre-School Annual report

It has been another good year at Cobham Community Pre-School. We finished the year with 33 children on roll and said goodbye to 23 children who left to join primary school. The Preschool has had another good strong year. We maintained our Good rating from Ofsted following their visit in July. We have made some significant improvements to the | garden with the replacement of grass area by astroturf, meaning that it will be more accessible all year round. Regarding staff, we say goodbye to Alena, who has left the * preschool and welcomed Emma who has joined as bank staff. | We have have had a good year financially. We finished the year with a in-year deficit of £4 881 but that was generated by a decision to use some of our reserves on the garden improvements. Had we not spent this money we would have had a healthy surplus. Points to note are that; - The investment strategy proved to be successful with £1,147 of interest paid during the year. - Fees were £10k higher than the year before although this was almost matched by an increase in staff costs of 8k. There have been some government changes to the way we can charge additional fees which has led to a session and fee restructure. We no longer charge for lunches and the sessions are now 3 hours long rather than previous 2.5hours. We are also seeing an increase in two-year-olds claiming government funded hours. We continue to monitor closely the impact this will have } on the financial position. Overall, we are confident about our future. The strong reserves position gives us a buffer to deal with expected future financial pressures.
