Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charlty
durlng the year
In November 2018, Crawley Green & Wenlock Pre-school were
inspected by Ofsted and awarded an overall grade of Oulslanding which
the whole team and management committee are extremely proud of.
Within our selling. all children are supported in developing their potential
al their own pace. Our key person system enables us lo ensure activilies
are planned, tailored to the needs of each individual child. By means of
developing appropriate play activities and a high level of individual adult
input. we offer a planning system which leads lo nationally approved
learning outcomes and PrePaS children to pro9sS with confidence lo
the National Curriculum at the age of five years.
Lan

e and Literac
In both small and large groups, children are encouraged lo
extend their vocabulary and fluency by talking and listening, and by
hearing and responding to stories, songs and rhymes. Child ren are
helped to understand that written symbols carry meaning, to be aware of
the purposes of writing and, when they are ready. to use drawn and
written symbols for themselves. A well-stocked book comer gives gvery
child thè opportunity and encouragement lo become familiar with books.
able lo handle them and be aware of their uses, both for reference and
as a sourcè of stories and pictures.
Personal and Social Develo
menl
Within a nurturing environment, children are indivldually
SUPPOrted in developing confidence. autonomy and self-respecl. They
are encouraged lo work and concentrate independently and also lo take
part in the life of the selling, sharing and Copoperaling with the other
children and adults. Through activities. conversation and practical
example, they learn acceptsble ways to express their own feelings and
have respect lor the feelings of others. All children are given the
opportunity, as appropriate. to lake responsibility for themselves and also
for our setting, ils members and ils property.
Maths
By means of adull-supported practical experience,
children become familiar with the sorting, matching, ordering, sequencing
and counting activities which fomi the basis for Qarty mathematics. As
they use their developing mathematical understanding lo solve practical
problems, children are assisted to leam and use the vocabulary of
mathematics, identifying objects by shape, position, size, volume and
number. Songs. games and picture books hélp children become aware of
number sequencing and, when they are ready. to use simple
mathematical operations such as adding.
Understandin
of the Wodd
A safe and stimulating environment allows children lo
explore and experiment with a range of natural and manufactured
materials. They learn to observe the features of objects and substances,
re¢ognizing differences. paltem5 and similarities, and to share and record
their findings. Children are asslsled In exploring and understanding Ihelr
environment, both within our setting and also in the wider communlty. A
range of safe and well malntained equipmant enables children to extend
th8ir18chnological understanding. using simple tools and techniques as

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **31 / 03 / 2023** .
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives 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 no concerns and 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.
