Trustees, Responsiblity In relation to the financial Statements
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees, annual report and financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounling Standards

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare

Gharity and of the incoming resources and applicable resources of the charity for.the period.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

Make judgements and estimates that ar8 reasonable and prudent.,
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any

Charites (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the

other irregularities,

financial information and that this information has been communicated to the Examiner.

Independent Examiner's Report to th• Trusts¢s of:
HOME￿TART DAVENTRY AND SOUTH NORTHANTS
Registered Charity Incorporated Organlsallon (CIO) Number: 1105831
Pago S
I report on the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31Bt March 2025, which are set
out on the attached Stalement of Financial Activits'es and Balance Sheet on pages 6 to 13.
Re8pective re8ponslbilltie8 of trustees and examiner
The truslees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, The trustees consider that
an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of Ihe Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and
that an independent examination 16 needed.
Having Satisf￿ myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under charity law and 15
eligible for independent examination, it 15 my responsibilty to..
examine the accounts under section 145(1) of the Act:
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directlons given by the Charty
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, as amended. and
state whéther particular matters have come lo my attention.
Basls of Ind•pendont examinaV8 statement
My examination was carried out in acccrdance with general Directbons given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity
and a comparison of the accounts presènted with those records, It also includes consideration
of any unusual items or disclosures of the accounts and seeking explanalions from you as
trustees concernlng any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the
evidence that would be required in an audit, and Gonsequently no opinion is given as lo
whether the accounts present a "true and fair view. and the report 18 limited to those matters
set out in the statem8nt below.
Ind•pendent Examlnar's ststement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me Teasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the
requiremenls:
to keep accounting records In accordance with the Charities Act 2011,, and
to prepare accounts which accord with the a￿oUntIng records, comply wtth
the accoLAnting requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and with the methods
and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and
Reporting by Charities.
have not been met, or
lo which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
