Finches Pre School
Trustees Annual Report April 2025 to Mar 2026
Finches Pre School has had a fabulous year due to our dedicated staff & the commitment of our trustees. Our children have flourished during the year.
We enjoyed a super hobby horse ride fundraiser, a great Sports Day. We sadly said farewell to children going to big school in July and welcomed new children in September. We enjoyed a super Christmas showcase. Super year.
Many thanks to all our staff who have made all these things possible along with our committee of trustees.

FINCHES PRE-SCHOOL
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES & MEMBERS OF THE FINCHES PRE SCHOOL COMMITTEE ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
This report is made solely to the members of Finches Pre School Committee, as a body, in
accordance with the regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. My examination work has been undertaken so that I might state to the members of Finches Pre School Committee those matters that I am
required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s Report and for no other purposes. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Finches Pre School Committee, as a body, for my examination work and my statement.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act") and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
Charities Act
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
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 statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which give 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 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.
