Report of the Trustees

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Charity is governed by the constitution adopted 21 October 1991.
The committee and board of Trustees' consists of between 2 to 9 members.
The Trustees' are appointed or re-appointed annually at the Annual General Meeting held in the Autumn Term.
There is a Child Protection Policy in place. Criminal Records Bureau checks are completed for all necessary staff and Committee members.
The pre-school is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance which provides helpful advice and guidance.
The Pre-School rents the hall from the Community Centre which is owned and run by Selby Community Trust. The preSchool join in community events such as Bonfire Night and Family Fun Day.
Objectives and Activities
The aim of the Pre-School is to enhance the development and education of children primarily under the statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children. We offer appropriate play facilities and study the needs and development of the children.
The Pre-School follows the regulations set down by the Pre-School Learning Alliance.
Children attending the Pre-School under the age of 3 pay a fee but some 2 year olds are funded depending upon circumstances. Children over the age of 3 are currently funded by NYCC. This funding helps considerably with the running of the Pre-School. We also hold several fundraising events throughout the year and are grateful to all staff and volunteers who contribute time and effort to achieving good results.
The trustee's confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Achievements and Performance
In 2024 we were inspected by OFSTED due to a complaint made, we have adjusted our practises going forward so that we can achieve a 'good' rating.
Fundraising
Fundraising has continued through Christmas.
Financial Review
Funding has helped immensely with the day to day costs, rents and salaries. The flexible session times have made a huge difference to children's attendance and an increase in funds.
We must always bear in mind that funds can (and do) fluctuate constantly due to increase/decrease of children at any time. We continue to monitor attendance and future registration numbers.
We try to hold a maximum of £10,000 in reserve. This should enable us to have a carry through of money when numbers are low.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Selby Community Pre-School
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2023 set out on pages four to eight.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner'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 any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 statements below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(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 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
