LAYER-DE-LA-HA YE PRE-SCHOOL LEARNING ALLIANCE
Annual Report of the Trustees for the Year End
31st March 2025

The Trustees for the year were as above.
The object of the charity is to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school
age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community
groups. It is a registered charity.
Income is primarily generated through ECC funding for three and four year olds and fees.
Cash reserves at the end of this year were f83,756. The reserves policy is to allow for running costs,
holiday pay owing, and a close down provision should a situation be seen in advance that makes the setting
unviable such as a change of landlord.
Those who use the preschool services greatly value the balance sheet that has built up over its time to
provide a stable platform from which the organisation can run .

LAYER-DE-LA-HAYE PRE-SCHOOL LEARNING ALLIANCE
Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Layer-de-la-Have Pre-school Learning Alliance
I report on the accounts of the Layer-de-la-Haye Pre-school Learning Alliance for the year ended 31st March 2025.
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 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,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section
145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of 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 the 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 matter has come to my attention:
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 Charities Act; and
* to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met.
