For the year ended 31 March 2021
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
Plympton St Maurice Childcare Centre is a registered charity, number 1153962. The charity was established in 26 September 2013 to provide quality, affordable childcare for children aged 3 months to 11 years, in a deprived pocket of the local community. The charity’s policy and general management of the Charity is directed by the management committee. The committee meet not less than four times a year. No remuneration is payable to officers of the charity. During the year in question the Charity continued to operate the pre-school with the wrap-around care facilities of a breakfast club, tea-time club, holiday play schemes and a baby unit. There have been no changes to policies since the previous year.
Objectives and activities
To enhance the development and education of children from the ages of 3 months and up to and including 11 years old in Plympton by offering appropriate play, educational and care facilities for children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability, in particular but not exclusively by:
- (i) Providing out of school clubs and holiday clubs for children up to the age of 11 years; and (ii) Providing a pre-school and nursery service
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees of Plympton St Maurice Childcare Centre are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
-
disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
On behalf of the board

Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of Plympton St Maurice Childcare Centre.
We report on the accounts of Plympton St Maurice Childcare Centre for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 2 to 10.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under
-
section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of independent examiner's statement
Our 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 you as 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:
-
(i) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (ii) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
