Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2023
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 May 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
Objectives and aims
The main objective is to provide a happy, secure and safe environment where learning is carried out through play for 2-5 year olds. To achieve this objective, learning is carried out through play in a nurturing environment provided by knowledgeable practitioners. The practitioners carry out activities in areas of continuous provision both inside and outside. In setting the objectives, we, the trustees have given regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, advancing education and fee charging.
As Broughton Pre-school (Preston) is a fee charging charity and to ensure its aims and objective comply with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, people from lower income brackets can apply to Lancashire County Council for placements under the voucher scheme.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Broughton Pre-School continues to offer a very high standard of care and education for 2-5 year olds with high quality leadership and professional and dedicated staff. This, along with the most recent Outstanding judgement from Ofsted has contributed to the setting being at or near capacity throughout the year.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The setting has been working near to capacity for most of the year, though because there was a greater proportion of 2 year olds fee income has remained fairly level. Next year however, we should see fee income improve as the proportion changes to older children.
Wages and training costs remain key to the the charity and have been reviewed and adjusted to ensure that key staff have been retained.
Other expenditure has been managed as efficiently as the leadership team can do whilst maintaining the experience for the children attending.
Details of the charity's incoming resources and resources expended for the year can be seen on page 5 of the accounts. In summary, the charity generated incoming resources of £143,504 to help fund resources expended of £130,044.
Income in the year included a generous £10,000 donation for which the trustees were truly grateful. This helped contribute towards the surplus for the year.
The Trustees have reviewed closing reserves and are satisfied that there are sufficient to cover any unforeseen liabilities that could arise.
We always consider that there could be short falls of income or increases in expenditure of unexpected events resulting in impacts on our funds.
Also, were the charity to cease operations then the costs of redundancy and winding up would have to be provided.
FUTURE PLANS
The new Lead Practitioner has settled in well and has now been in the post since September 2022, she has a positive outlook and plans for the future. The staff continue to upgrade their skills and expertise but with essential training only. This will mainly be provided by Lancashire County Council. Staff will also spend time researching topics that are relevant to the sector.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of - Broughton Pre school (Preston)
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Broughton Pre-school (Preston) ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 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
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:
-
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
-
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.
