ACHEVEMENt AND PERFORMANCE
Charter5 Ancastrr Nursery and Forest School cotLtinue5 to be an environment where children can develop and learn
through play. and wh¢r¢ ¢hildr¢n. parents and staff are involved in a uniqu¢ family a1mosphere. This happy and
produclive tnvironment has been ¢r¢3ted by the engagement and 5UPPOrt of committed staff and the manag¢m¢nt te8m
we have in place and I would like to thank them for all their support and hard work.
Th¢ ¢hildrert contittue to benefit from access to a wide range of activiti¢5 in rtsp¢rt of outdwr activities ittcluding forest
school, active play, acce5S to an all-weather pl&y area and extensive grounds and garderts. The focus has been on
bringing additional nursery pupils in order to grow the business from within. Creativity such as musica] activities,
dance, and roleplay continue to be enjoyed. The nursery ha5 grown nurnbe￿ aTMI now has c 200 children otl the role.
Financi￿ performance has improved with a turnover of £1,393,842 for the YE Au¥ust 2025 lup from £987,762) thou¥h
costs also rose for the year from £l.011,927 to £1,188,486. Nevertheless, this represents an improvement in fjnancial
performance. All financial surplus w&s r¢turn¢d to the nursery via expenditure ID the fabric of the building and
resources.
In 2021 th¢ nursery achi¢ved an outstsnding rnting across all areas from OFSTED.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Charters Allcaster Nursery eontinues to assist th¢ ¢ommut)ity where possible by tskin8 Studet)ts from local s¢h(K>ls and

EDUCAIIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
The on-line L¢aming Journey and Assessment tool "Fatnily" which w&s introduced lasi year continu¢s to be a great
suocess, being prefeTTed by staff members and welcomed by parents as they can also contribuie and access thetr child's
learning Journey on-line if they wish while stsff and maaagement can monitor progress and improvements in

the nursery. This y¢ar w¢ have seen 8reaier ¢ngagemenL Re8ular n¢wsletters for parents and staff keep them informed
of a¢tivities.
A simplification and chang¢ in the fee 5trncture irt litie with other Nurseries has incre&8ed the competitiveness and
attractiveness of the nursery package to par¢nis alon¥ with the Forest School and superior Nursery enviroajment.
Non-payets have been reduced to a minimum and pursued or excluded.

During the last year there haye been several challenges with staff off work due to rnatemity leave, injury, ill-health. or

In auditing ihe finan¢ial state]nents. we have wncluded That the trusttts, use of the going concern basis of accountin8 in
the preparation of the fmanci21 $tal¢ments i5 appropriat¢.
Based on the work we hav¢ performed. we ha￿ not identified Any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions
thaL individually or coll¢¢tively* may cast 5ignifi¢ant doubt on the charitable ¢ompany's ability to continu¢ as a going
concern for a period of at least twelv¢ months from when th¢ fJnanGiai statements are authori5ed for issue.

apparent material misstatemEllts, we ar¢ required to detcrniin¢ whether this gives rise io a material misstatement in the
financial SLltemertts therll5elves. If. based on the work we have p¢rfornied, we conclude that there is a material

Responsibilities of tnpstees
As explained mor¢ fvlly in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities. the lrnstees {who are also the d1￿ctOrS of the

to ¢nable th¢ prepardtion of finan¢iai statements that ar¢ free frotn material misstatement, whether due to fraud or etTOr.
In preparing the financial statements, tbe trllstees sre responsible for assessing th¢ charitable ¢ompany's ability to
continue as a going concern. disclosing. as applicable. matter5 related t(} going concern and u8ing the going concern
b&si5 of accounting unle55 tbe trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have
no realÉstic alternative but to do so.
Our respon$ibilities for the Audit of the finanei41 statememts
We have been appointed &s auditors under Sedion 144 of th¢ Chartties Aet 2011 and report in aecordance with the Act
and relevani regulations made or bavitig effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable a5suran¢e a￿￿t wh¢ther the financial statements as a whole are free frorn
material mi5Staternent. whether due to frdud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditor5 that includ¢5
our opinion. Reasonablt assurance is a high l¢v¢l of assurance, but is not a 8uarantee that an audit Conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will Alw&ys det¢¢t a material misstatement when it exi51s. Misstaiements ¢an arise from
fraud or error aThd are considered material if, individually or in the a88regate, they could reagonably be exp¢cted to
influence the etonomi¢ decisions of users tak¢n on the basis of these finan¢iaJ statements.
Th¢ extent to whieh our procedures are ¢apabl¢ of detectin8 irregularities. including fraud is detailed below:
We were engaged to auditthe financial statements for current year figures.
W¢ have a55e$5ed the susceptibility of the entity's financial 51*tem¢nts to material misstatem¢nt, includin8 how fraud
might w¢ur, as low by way of enquiry, prior knowl¢d8¢ and currentyear analytical review and testing.
We have enquir¢d,with rnanagcmeni and those Charged with governaD¢e to obtain an understsnding of the legal and
regulatory framework applicable to the ¢ntity and. through our audit t¢stin& our fjndings hawe eonfinned that the entity
is Complying with the relevant frameworks.
We hav¢ ¢nquired with management and those charytd with gov¢manc¢ to obtain an understanding of the entity,
policies and'procedures relating to ¢ompliance with laws and regulations. Through our testing. we have reviewed all
relevant documenlaiion aftd cottfjmi that there have be¢n no instances of non- wmpliance.
Through enquiry. anal￿1¢11 Jrview and substantive testing.we have obtained an understsnding of the entity'8 policies
and pr￿edureS on fraud risks, including knowledge of any aciual, suspected or alleged fraud.
We have ¢onfimed that the engagemem *8m collectively had the appropriate comp¢ten¢e and capabilities to identify
or rewgnis¢ non-compliaD¢e with laws and regulation5 and froud
List¢d above is the ¢xtent of procedurts we have tsken to detect material misstat¢ments in resp¢¢t of irr¢gu]arities,
in¢luding fraud. to which we have found no insthn¢¢s.
Because of the inber¢Dt limitation5 of an audit, there is a risk that we will not deteot all irregularities, including thost
leading to a rnaterial misstatement in the fJrtancia] statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk incr￿e5 th¢
]nore that coMpli￿¢e with a law or regulation is removcd from th¢ events and transactions refle¢t¢d in the financial
statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-¢ompliance. The risk i5 also greater re8arditLg
irregularities oc¢urring due to fraud rather than erTr)r, a5 fraud involves it)tentional concealment, forgery, collusion.
omission ormisrepr¢sentation.
A further description of our re5w)nsibilities for the audtt of the financial statements is locat¢d on the Finan¢ial
Reporting Council's websit¢ at www.fr¢.otE.uWaudTtor5responsibiliti¢s. This description fom)$ part of our Report of th¢
