## Development, Activities and Achievements
Newnham Nursery is an independent pre-school nursery and a registered charity. There has been no change to the committee members, board of directors, or the legal structure of the nursery during the year.
The nursery has continued to maintain stable numbers by successfully registering younger children, helping to rebalance our intakes against those leaving for primary school.
During the previous academic year, we introduced a Morning Club to provide additional wraparound care for families at Newnham Croft Primary School. The club was trialled for one academic year following a survey which indicated initial interest from families. However, despite this early interest, the level of regular attendance remained low throughout the year. After careful consideration, the decision was taken to discontinue the Morning Club at the end of the academic year.
Our small team of three staff members have once again worked incredibly hard to maintain the high standards of care and education that the nursery provides. We are very grateful for their continued dedication and commitment.
My thanks also go to all members of the Committee who have supported the nursery in various ways throughout the year, and to the parents and children who continue to support the nursery community.
## Future Plans
We remain hopeful for a positive academic year ahead. Current intake numbers for the forthcoming year are a bit low, we have been advised it is very low birth year, but we will continue to focus on maintaining sustainable enrolment levels and delivering high-quality early years provision.

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER**
We report to the Trustees of Newnham Nursery Limited on the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025 set out in pages three to seven.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention .
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 the 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**
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 section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements
- have not been 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 .
