## **Domino Pre-School Chair Report**
2022 - 23
This year we received a ‘Good’ rating from Ofsted’s inspection in May, and supported our largest cohort of 38 families across the year.
We continued to offer a wide range of activities, including a full day of Forest School, supporting the training of two staff members in this discipline. The children love being outside and have experienced crafting objects from what they find in nature, observed building and starting a campfire, plus worked on apple coring. We received visits from two external interactive experiences, a mobile zoo and planetarium. A visit to Hunstanton was arranged at the end of the summer term and was a great day out for our families.
The setting bid for an received funding from the local Wrights Trust charity to purchase new play equipment, including an extensive kitchen (washing machine, table, chairs, cooker etc.), archway, work table and benches, plus replacement sheds for the garden equipment.
We continued to offer extended open hours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with activities in music, dance and construction respectively. We’ve also continued to provide 1:1 support for families and found ways to include those children in all the setting has to offer.
We ran stalls at both the winter and summer Fulbourn events to raise the profile of the preschool and raise some funds. We’ve also used Facebook to promote the pre-school across the surrounding villages.
The Committee wished to express its admiration and thanks to all of the staff for creating such a welcoming, fun and inspirational setting for the children.

## **Independent Examiners' Report to the Trustees of Domino Nursery School Accounts for the Year Ended**
## **31 August 2023**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners**
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 our 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 our attention.
## **Basis of independent examiners' statement**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with 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 our examination, no material matters have come to our attention:
- (1) which gives us cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements :
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
- • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
