Structure, governance and management

Governing Document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are recruited from members of the Pre-School as well as members of the local community. Trustees are invited to continue their commitment to the charity even after their children have moved on from the setting, to ensure continuation of the objectives and achievements of the Pre-School.

Risk Management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Objectives and activities

Our objectives are to promote the well-being and development of children across all areas of learning through the provision of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum at the Pre-School to children particularly, but not exclusively, within the Shepperton area.

Significant Activities

We are a sessional Pre-School providing care for children aged 2 years 7 months old to 5 years old.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education and on fee-charging.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

Charitable Activities

By introducing a pedagogy of In The Moment Planning Shepperton Preschool have moved towards following the children's interests with appropriate adult intervention. This focuses on supporting all children as individuals which in turn helps them to develop all areas of learning and really supports them in getting ready for school. Working in partnership with parents, carers and local schools our aim is for each child to achieve their own individual potential and gain and develop skills that they will need and use at school. Shepperton Preschool has renewed focus on the social, emotional and mental health of all children in their care in order to support the children to build resilience. This has been vital this year during the Covid-19 pandemic which has had a huge impact on the team and families of Shepperton Preschool.

Financial review

During the year the Pre-school had a deficit of £20,899 (2021- surplus £10,441). The deficit is due to replacement of the boiler costing £4,573 as well as upgrading of the outdoor facilities at a cost of £26,546. The trustees are confident that the pre-school remains on a firm financial footing and at no point in the year did reserves fall below the minimum level as set in the Reserves Policy below.

Reserves policy

There is a policy to maintain reserves at a minimum of £30,000 at any point during the year. Budgets are prepared to ensure Shepperton Pre-School achieves adequate financial performance whilst continuing to provide outstanding quality.

Principal funding sources

The income of the organisation during the year consisted of fees, government funding for the provision of pre-school places and grants from Surrey Early Years.

Future Developments

Through training and development of staff, and recognising outstanding performance, the charity will continue to build on its longstanding success,The involvement of parents to further develop fundraising activities is central to the company's success. Maintaining a prudent investment policy and careful management of costs will support further enhancement of provision, thus meeting the expectations of the local community.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Shepperton Pre-School Limited

Year ended 31 August 2022

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Shepperton Pre-School Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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

  4. the financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 August 2022

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Pre-School Hut, Glebeland Gardens, Shepperton, Middlesex, TW17 9DH.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fortunately the charity has spent several years building up reserves to give it a strong financial basis and in the opinion of the trustees the global pandemic will not have a significant financial impact on the charity's position going forwards.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Defined contribution pension plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution pension plans (continued)

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

The company is limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. Each member gives a guarantee to contribute a sum not exceeding £10 to the company should it be wound up.
