## Annual Report 2023 

This year we started the year with 31 children on our books and finished with 43. Managers observations have gone well all year with small targets and improvements for the staff to make, evidenced in their self-evaluations and reviewed at their supervisions.  No major things have come up in the staff supervisions. 

As Ofsted have changed their approach based on the new EYFS the requirements to do observations have reduced so the staff can spend quality time with the children and not on paperwork. 

Over the year we have had 9 SEND children they have had between 3-13 hours a week of 1:1 support based on 30hours attendance and their level of need.  One child got an EHCP before they left. 

We have requested 2 other children to be seen by the area SENDCo but they have a back log of cases so won’t be seen until the Autumn term 2023 

As well as this we also do extra targeted work with EYPP and Think 2 children. 

For those children who get this extra funding and they are not behind we have used their money for sessions Diddy dance, Ballet session, Rhythm time and a farm on wheels x 2.

**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year **trustees and examiner** under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

**Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity 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 consideration 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 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** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention **examiner's statement** 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, 

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 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.
