Severn Beach Preschool
Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 August 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
The committee changes regularly and those detrains are reported to Ofsted as legally required.
The committee work cohesively with the staff at the preschool to provide childcare for the children in Severn Beach and surrounding villages. In particular we provide free places for these children in receipt of the 15 hours Nursery Education Grant and, once again, this year have taken on many children eligible for the 2 year old funding. This year we accepted a greater number of children with 30 hours funding.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity provides preschool provision for funded and non-funded 2 - 5 year olds.
Significant activities
Activities are broad and varied but in essence we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage 2021 as required by law and the children enjoy a whole host of opportunities and experiences to enable their learning and development.
This year we again enrolled, cared for and taught children with SEN and EAL and feel we enabled every child to make progress. We follow the SEN code of practice and again managed to secure funding to improve communication and language skills for children from disadvantaged backgrounds and from those with speech delay and English as an additional language.
We were inspected by Ofsted in July 2017 and were awarded the grade of Outstanding, we still retain this same grade.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The preschool has returned to a more normal process following the COVID 19 pandemic. The preschool generated a deficit of £2,594 this year.
Income increased back to the pre-COVID levels, but costs have increased at a faster rate due to the current levels of inflation.The number of staff remained constant during the year to enable us to provide sufficient staffing during the pandemic to maintain a high standard of care and education.
We have spent just over £4,975 on extending the play area and renewing and updating resources inside allowing us to provide more focussed learning at times to ensure that all children continue to make progress. .
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is a small village preschool managed by a volunteer committee made up of parents. We have adopted the Pre School learning Alliance constitution and abide by the rules set out in these regulations.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Severn Beach Preschool
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Severn Beach Preschool
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Severn Beach Preschool (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
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:
-
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
-
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.
