Annual trustees report for Peter Pan Preschool Fleckney. Charity no. 1122507 EY358316 submitted May 2022 for the previous year Fleckney village hall, The Parade, Fleckney, Leics LE88AY Head of trustees ; Father Phillip O’Reilly Manager of Peter Pan Preschool; Rachel Skinner
Peter Pan’s has been catering for preschool children aged 2-4 years , with it’s main aim to teach the children , socialise them and prepare them to start school and to be wholly ready for this. It was again decided that in order to remain financially viable we must continue to only open 3 days a week in order to minimise property rental and staff wages but still being able to provide the 15 hours that the majority of the attending children get in terms of government funding. Along with the funded children, the preschool has been able to offer ‘stay & play’ sessions of 2 or 3 hours in length for non-funded 2 year olds in order to prepare them for when they get 15 hours government funding and to generate extra income.
To adhere to child:staff ratios we have maintained 3 members of staff, 2 of whom are paid at minimum wage & 1, the manager who is paid 20p extra an hour for her added responsibilities. We have had an average of about 12 children attending in the morning and 7, doing all day. However this is now picking up and we have ended up with 18 children on the books.
Following an Ofsted inspection in 2020 we have been graded as good , with some very positive comments. We continue to recruit new children by local social media pages and by a good reputation locally. With 4 new estates having been built in Fleckney in the last year or 2 the future is looking very bright and with the increase in children we are just about to recruit another part-time member of staff. All the staff are highly qualified with a minimum of NVQ level 2 in a childcare qualification, with 2 members of staff being Level 3 qualified. Staff continue to update and renew their training and the manager has just completed an NVQ level 2 in ‘Understanding Autism’. Peter Pan continues in it’s close links with the local primary school and acts as one of it’s feeders. We also take part in events around the community such as the local Christmas tree festival and going to the local church for our own small service once a term.
Our aim for the future is to continue to provide a high level of care and education for our children and try to maintain the numbers we currently have , and indeed to grow ! We would like to thank the village hall committee for their continued support in giving us a reduced rental.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Peter Pan Pre School Fleckney
I report on the accounts of the Peter Pan Pre School Fleckney for the year ended 31[st] August 2021.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s trustees 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.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the account under section 145 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 Commission. An examination includes 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 terms or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from 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 Examiner’s Statement
I have completed my examination in accordance with the Charities Act, and confirm that there is nothing contained in the Financial Records of the above charity that gives cause to believe that the information presented to me to be incomplete or incorrect.
