## **Review of activities and achievements**
The Management Committee have managed to maintain the number of parents and continue to support the management in their roles. New parents are joining yearly, and the committee has a very clear community spirit. Regular meetings are held, and we work together to keep the pre-school sustainable. This has worked extremely well and has met the needs of the community and we are able to continue to cover all costs of running the Pre-school.
The end of this accounting year has been extremely challenging due to Covid -19 situation continuing. However, throughout the ongoing Pandemic we continued to work together and provided childcare for all the children and kept the Pre-school sustainable. All staff were kept in employment and our Pre-school’s future was protected.
Our links with church continue but due to covid restrictions we have been unable to meet face to face but we have kept in touch regular with zoom and phone calls. Once restrictions are lifted they will continue with the family services and messy church.
As a community, in October we collected donations of food to support our local food bank and at Easter chocolate eggs to support roundabout, a charity which gives support to young people in Sheffield.
We are continuing with the work that Ofsted recommended for us to become an outstanding Preschool and in May 2021 we installed an outdoor canopy to improve our outdoor play facilities. This allows us to utilise outdoor space in bad weather giving the children more learning opportunities. The local Co-op choose us as their fundraising cause and donated money towards our project.
This year we have celebrated Chinese New Year, Pancake Day, World Book Day, Harvest Festival and Christmas, which has offered the children excellent learning opportunities. We learnt about culture, countries, traditions, food and music.

MOUNT VIEW PRE-SCHOOL
Our Christmas Nativity sadly had to be cancelled but with following all guidance we held a Christmas party for the children, which consisted of party games, food, a socially distanced magic show and a visit from Father Christmas. Although it was different the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we kept everyone safe.
Once restrictions were lifted in the summer and our Government guidance allowed us, in June 2021 we held an Art exhibition to showcase the children’s art work and raised sone money to buy new resources for the outdoor play space under the canopy.
Our annual Sports day was slightly different this year due to restrictions but we were able to hold a short event which the children and enjoyed. Our fayre was sadly cancelled to ensure the safety of everyone.
Pre-school continues to be popular and very busy and although we feel the covid situation will continue we are looking forward to the year ahead and Pre-school will continue to be a big support to the families in the community.
## **COVID-19 impact statement**
It has been a great relief that Pre-school hasn’t financially struggled as the Covid-19 situation has continued into yet another financial year. We have had no detrimental financial impact. Pre-school has been able to secure funding from Local Education Authority to ensure the sustainability of the Pre-school continued in this difficult time. Although at periods of the spring term 2021, when the Government announced another lockdown. Pre-school was unaffected as we were to continue accepting children regardless of key worker status. However, some families did keep their children off for a short period of time due to personal circumstances and felt it was safer to stay at home. Preschool was still able to claim their funding money as long as we recorded these absences with a supporting email from parents explaining their absence. This money allowed all staff to work, rent to be paid, cleaning equipment, PPE to be bought, and most importantly keep Pre-school open for the future. Staff continued to work full time and within a couple of weeks we were back to full numbers and ended the Pre-school year with no covid cases. We operated at full capacity throughout the Summer term.
## **Financial review**
The charity has made a surplus of £15,254 in the year. Unrestricted funds are showing a surplus of £13,285 and restricted funds are showing a surplus of £1,969 for the year. At the year end, the total fund balances were £92,891 of which £90,922 was unrestricted and £1,969 restricted.
## **Reserves and Financial Health**
The Trustees regularly review the finances, budgets and spend against budget together with a monthly cash flow analysis as part of the effective management of the pre-school.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021, which are set out on pages 8 to 14.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011, the 2011, Act and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- i. Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- ii. To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- iii. 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 included 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 explanation from you as 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:
- a) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- i. To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- ii. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charites;
Have not been met; or
- b) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
