Ormesby Village Preschool
Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 August 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Accounting and Reporting by Charities Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard in the UK and Republic of Ireland (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Ormesby Preschool has provided childcare and preschool education for approximately 100 families between the hours of 0900-1500, and has offered childcare facilities, provided through breakfast club, after school club and school holiday club, to an additional 50 families, during the extended hours of 0745-1700 Monday to Friday, for 50 weeks of the year. The families that have used our service come not only from Ormesby and the surrounding villages, but have even travelled as far as Norwich to access the childcare and provision we provide. Early Years’ provision in Norfolk has encountered some shared challenges with financial viability, and some settings locally have been unable to meet the increased demand on their resources. Fortunately, we remain in a strong position, financially, able to meet these demands, and have noted that families travel to us from a larger catchment area, we have waiting lists for children to start and we offer an increasingly valuable service and provision in a landscape that others have, sadly, been unable to navigate successfully. We have supported the educational advancement and readiness for school of all the children attending, and those who transitioned to begin school after attending. We also increasingly support the families and parents/carers of our families in whichever ways we can, supporting them with funding options, and signposting to other agencies, or organisations. Parents, carers, grandparents, and family members have joined us for celebrations and play or crafting sessions where possible, and we have reached out and taken part in events within the extended community, such as the community Christmas tree festival, and we have fundraised for the wider community in which we live and operate.
Public benefit
- To advance the education of children below compulsory school age in Ormesby St Margaret.
a) Provide safe and satisfying group play, in which parents have the right to take part
b) Encourage other charitable activities through which parents may help the children.
- To provide the necessary facilities for the day care, recreation, and education of children from 12 months up to eleven years of age during out of school hours and school holidays, in Ormesby and surrounding villages.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Charitable donations have been raised and given to a variety of other Charities. Peninsula continued to help manage health & safety within preschool, HR, employment and other responsibilities, and their support proved highly beneficial. We welcome the advice and support they are able to offer.
FUTURE PLANS
The future aims & objectives for Ormesby Preschool during the period from 01.09.2025-31.08.2026 remain largely the same as in previous years, and the committee will continue to support preschool in achieving this in whichever ways it can. Extended funding for families to access has required significant further additional admin, as well as using the funding availability to compile the financial forecast, time has been spent looking at covering the additional attendance and staff costings involved. Preschool will continue to seek ways to evolve and grow to best serve the community in which we operate, and support the families who use our service, as well as achieving the best possible outcomes for the children who attend. The likelihood of an Ofsted inspection during the period covered by the next AGM is low, as we had an inspection on 14th Jan 2025 and received a strong GOOD rating across all four areas of assessment. This means the usual inspection cycle will apply and we will be reinspected within 6 years unless Ofsted have reason to inspect earlier.
Always proud to celebrate our successes, its worth remembering that the Ofsted report noted, amongst other things, that leaders and staff are extremely proud to be a part of our setting, that staff feel valued as part of a strong team and that the leadership team has a clear and accurate view of the quality of our provision. Partnerships with parents were also noted as particular
strength with staff going 'the extra mile' to make their children feel safe and secure. We are ready to face whatever the following year brings, including any further, unexpected challenges presented. The committee will continue to fulfil its obligations to the Charity Commission and public benefit, and will rise to any challenge which may present, with the usual resilience, passion, enthusiasm, and professionalism.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Ormesby Village Preschool
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Ormesby Village Preschool for the year ended 31st August 2025 which are set out on pages 4 to 11.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of Ormesby Village Preschool (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.
