Respective responsibllities of trustees
and examiner
The charity's tiustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charit(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 iesponsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the proceduies laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Chaiities Act), and
to state whether particular mattels have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's
My examination was carried out in accordance wlth general Directions given by the
statement Chaiity 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 consideiation 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
(onsequently 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 (other than
that disclosed below.):
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the
fequiiements:
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 my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Managers Report 2022- 2023
Welcome
What an exciting year we have all had since our last AGM! l am personally so proud of all the
Team and how amazing they all are.
Your children have settled really well, either new to us this September or returning from the
summer holidays. We are looking forward to sharing with you all the fun things we do at pip
and Jim's via the new parent app.
Please speak to me or any of the Team about the app and putting your own observations on.
This really helps to enrich the children's vocabulary by talking about what they do at home
and gives the children a sense of pride and belonging within their family.
Most of the children have now learnt the morning/afternoon routine where they come into
pre- school independently. We have started looking at our settings 'Golden Rules, reinforcing
their already lovely manners, a true credit to all of you.
Moving forward with the preschool, we will be looking to increase our attendee numbers
and continue to provide an affordable high quality education to the children.
Our app is a great way to communicate with you (and vice versa) even if it's to show you
with a picture that your child has settled...the staff truly have magic ways to distract your
child when you leave! If you do something exciting at the weekend, post a picture on the At
home observations section and then we can talk about it with the children....
We have a SEND co-ordinator- Natalie Bryan. Any queries you may have regarding your
Child's health, speech or development please do speak with her or myself. We have an
enormous amount of inhouse knowledge and strategies to support children from years of
joint experience..
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and look forward to
another fantastic year!

Pip and Jim's Chair Report 2022-2023
This year has been a difficult year for the pre-school both financially and logistically. The
setting has been given their notice to leave the current premises and we now need to
look at finding an alternate venue to host from. We will be approaching the current
trustees for an extension to the current agreement in the hope that we will have more
time to find somewhere else to run from.
Numbers of attendees has remained low this yearwhich has seen the pre-school make
another loss this year, with the yearly rise in national livingwage having a major effect
on our outgoings and only a minuscule increase in the government funding rate.
We have increased our advertising and flyers have been distributed to all local schools
community groups and shops in the hope of gaining more children forthe next
academic year. I would like to take this opportunityto thank all the staff and committee
for everythingthey have contributed overthis past year and hope for a more financially
stable year next year.

Treasurers Report 2022-2023
This year has been another extremely challenging year for the Pre-school. The year
ended 31 st August 2023, with an overall deficit of £12844.40 somewhat better than the
previous year's deficit but still a worry.
The Pre-school's income remains majority made up of fees, paid by parents and the
government funding. This year the total income was £70181 (£3093.38 higher than
previous year). Pre-school Expenditure was £83025.40, a decrease of £9324.98
compared to the previous years. Wages decreased by £746 as a result of staff's hours
being reduced further again as perthe previous year.
The setting has distributed flyers again this yearto promote the setting, using local
schools, shops and community settings to distribute. We are keen to see nextyear an
increase in child attendance and a higher rate of funding and fees in orderto hopefully
bring down the overall financial deficit.
