The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Principal Activities and Charitable Objects

The charity's principal activities and charitable objects are "to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age in Thame, Oxfordshire, in any manner which is deemed by law to be charitable."

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The charity provided nursery care for children below school age during the year.

There are no plans for either contraction or expansion and the trustees consider that the objects of the charity have been achieved during the year.

A valuable contribution has been made by volunteers consisting of members serving on the management committee and the fundraising sub-committee.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Statement of Policies

The charity has no policy of investing funds. Sufficient reserves are held to cover the charity's operating requirements.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are recruited from the management committee and/or members as required and are appointed by members at the AGM.

Any individual interested in promoting the objects of the charity, who is acceptable to the trustees, is entitled to become a member.

One parent of each child attending the nursery is automatically entitled to be a member.

Organisational structure

Strategy is decided by the trustees and then implemented by a management committee and sub-committees, which consist of members and parents.

The trustees may sit on any committee and should receive reports on any actions taken by each committee.

The day-to-day running of the nursery is the responsibility of the nursery manager and her deputy, who make recommendations to, and take their instructions from, the management committee.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LORD WILLIAMS'S SCHOOL DAY NURSERY

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lord Williams's School Day Nursery ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (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 charity'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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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.

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Government grants

The charitable company has received government grants in respect of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS).

These grants are recognised using the accruals model at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is a reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with conditions attached to them.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.
