## **Report of the Trustees for the period ending 31[st] August 2025** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the period ending 31[st] August 2025 

## **Objects** 

The principal objects is to provide care for children aged 2 and over up to school age in a secure, safe and stimulating environment; to enhance the development and education of the children in a parent-involving community based group; and to work within a framework which ensures equality of opportunity and support for all children and their families. Provision is on a non-compulsory weekday basis and is open during the school term time. 

## **Key points to note during the year** 

The Pre-School started the year with a fair number of children and also new children waiting to join. 

Due to the inadequate OFSTED judgement, we are unable to claim funding for new children. 

OFSTED returned in December and although we thought we had everything in place we received a require improvement judgement. This was very disappointing, but it did mean that we could claim government funding for new starters. The issue that was highlighted was our leadership and management from the committee point of view. Cazz, Michelle and Zarah joined the committee. 

We advertised and appointed a new member of staff, Georgie. She is unqualified but will complete her three month probation then we will look for a suitable level 3 course for her. 

We ended the school year with three children leaving to go to primary school and one new starter. 



## **Risk statement** 

The trustees review risks on an ongoing basis and are confident that they have done all that they can to minimise risks to the charity.  We are aware of the risks of running at a financial loss and have plans in place to ensure the sustainability of the charity. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees regularly review reserves to ensure adequate funds in case of emergency or shut-down. 



## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees** 

## **of Elham Pre-School 2025** 

I have examined the accounts of the above mentioned for the year ended 31[st] August 2025. 

During the course of my examination no matter has come to my attention, which would give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- a) Accounts have not been kept in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Charities Act; or 

- b) The accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- c) The statement of accounts does not comply with the 1993 Charities Act. 

No further matters have come to my attention, which should be included to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
