The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
4 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trust continues to provide facilities and services to children outside of school hours. A wide range of activities is offered to help the development of the children socially, physically, creatively and intellectually. The Pre-School sessions have been able to run the whole school year September 2021 to July 2022. We have been able to offer Out of School sessions throughout the whole school year. As a Committee, the trustees and management of this setting regularly review the financial position to ensure we are viable. We intend to keep our profile high in the public domain via social media to continue to keep our numbers high. We are fully booked for Pre-School for 2022 to 2023 with only a few sessions available for Out of School Club over the whole year 2022-2023, with only 1/8[th] spaces available. We are also fully booked for Pre-School for 2023-2024, and again only a few spaces left for Out of School Club over the whole year 2023 to 2024, with only 1/8[th] spaces available.

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Woodfield Nest Pre-School and Out of School Club
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 August 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 11.
Respective responsibilities of the charity trustees and examiner
The charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act);
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners’ report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 directors 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. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
(2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
(3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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 for the year ended 31 August 2022
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) effective 1 January 2019 and the Charities Act 2011.
The presentational currency of the accounts is UK £, being the functional currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates. Monetary amounts in these accounts are rounded to the nearest £.
Woodfield Nest Pre-School and Out of School Club meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Incoming Resources
Donations, gifts and legacies represent amounts received during the year, together with any associated tax refund. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are recognised as incoming resources when receivable at a reasonable estimate of their value. Assets given for distribution are only recognised when distributed.
Grants receivable for specific purposes are credited to the statement of financial activities in the year to which they relate as soon as conditions for receipt have been met. Unspent balances are carried forward to subsequent years within restricted funds.
Grants for immediate financial support or received against costs previously incurred are recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities. Voluntary income is shown gross before deduction of fund-raising expenditure.
Resources Expended
All expenditure is accounted for under the accruals concept. The irrecoverable element of Value Added Tax is included within the item of expense to which it relates.
Funds
General unrestricted funds comprise accumulated surpluses and deficits on general activities. They are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the company’s objectives. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There is a single restricted fund, which is restricted for use in the Criminal Justice sector.
