The Statement of Financial Activities shows net profit for the year of £39,213 and the reserves stand at £58,729. These reserves are sufficient to support the Charity's activities in the medium term, but the adequacy of fees charged to parents will be kept under review by the directors and trustees.

Dawn Olivia Brown Kayley Williams Carol Norman Freya Kookaburra Wood
Recruitment and appointment of new directors and trustees
The existing directors and trustees discuss possible new appointments throughout the year, and generally seek to make those appointments from parents who have expressed a willingness to be involved in running the playschool
Risk Management
The Playschool actively reviews the major risks that it faces and believes that maintaining reserves at the current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficien resources in the advent of adverse conditions. Other operational and business risks have been examined and the trustees confirm they have established systems in place to mitigate the significant risks.

THE MOORE HALL PLAYSCHOOL LTD INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE MOORE HALL PLAYSCHOOL LTD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on pages 4 to 8.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustee and Examiner
The charity's trustees (who are aslo the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's 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 ourselves that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Comission under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act
-
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 Commissioners. 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 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 nad 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
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not ben 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.
