**SECTION B**
**STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
The Pre School's governing document is a Constitution and it is an Unincorporated Trust.
The appointment of new Trustees involves the person being proposed by an existing Trustee, their proposed appointment being voted on by all the existing Trustees and if agreed they will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service clearance and finally fully ratified at the next Trustee Board meeting.
All existing Trustees are voted on to decide upon their reappointment at the AGM.
## **SECTION C OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The principal activity and object of the charity is to advance the education of children below compulsory school age. Staff carry out A Two Year Progress check for each child attending the Pre School, as per a statutory requirement.
The Pre-school runs from Caddington Village School Site, where qualified and friendly staff provide stimulating and creative play, that enables learning to take place in a fun and secure environment. We look upon pre-school as the first stepping-stone to school and school life.
## **SECTION D ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
As an Ofsted registered setting, Caddington Pre School must meet the regulations stated in the 'Statutory Framework for The Early Years Foundation Stage' to ensure a well-balanced and nurturing learning environment for Young Children.
Since Caddington Pre School has been sited in the grounds of Caddington Village School, we support the families of Children attending Caddington Village School Nursery with their need for extended Nursery Education by offering lunch and afternoon sessions for these Children requiring all day provision. Management and Trustees have decided that this arrangement will not continue from September 2026.
Our latest Ofsted Inspection was in May 2024 and it resulted in a Good Rating.
## **SECTION E FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Caddington Pre School's principal source of income is from Central Bedfordshire Council paying for Nursery Education for two, three and four year old children. We also have income for Private Funded Hours for Parents who either have no funding or require hours over their CBC Funded Hours entitlement.
In the previous financial year, we recognised the outstanding Maternity Pay Refund from HMRC of £14,937 which was therefore a significant factor in our profit last year of £13,586.
In the previous financial year, we received £4,474, and this year have received a further amount from HMRC, such that the Year End Debtor has reduced to £5,262, which we will continue to pursue during the coming year.
In the current financial year, we have increased our CBC and Private Funding by £13,151, but only increased Salaries and Pensions by £5,089. This was counteracted by increased costs relating to Insurance (two years fees included this year), setting up a new Caddington Pre School website and advertising for a new Manager.
Caddington Pre School Funds are not sufficient to invest in any long term investments, such as stocks and shares. All funds are held in cash using only mainstream Banks.
Caddington Pre School regularly monitors the levels of bank balances and the interest rates received to ensure it obtains maximum value and income from its banking arrangements.
We will once again hold our reserves at our desired level of at least £5,000.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/03/2026.
**Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the 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** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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.
* _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._
