The charity is a CIO (charitable incorporated organisation). It was registered with the Charity Commission on 25 March 2014.
The charity adopted the Pre-school Learning Alliance Model CIO Constitution for Childcare Providers 2013.
Objects: The charity works for the public benefit having as its objects the development and education of children and young people in particular by:
- (1) promoting their care and safety;

- (3) promoting their health and wellbeing;

## **MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE ARRANGEMENTS**
The constitution provides for a maximum of 12 trustees. The charity trustees are appointed at the AGM of the charity to serve for two successive years and shall retire from office with effect from the conclusion of the second AGM following their appointment. The chair of trustees is responsible for the induction of any new trustee which involves awareness of a trustee's responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures, the history and philosophical approach of the charity. A new trustee would receive copies of the previous year's annual report and accounts and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet "The Essential Trustee: What You Need To Know". All trustees have held office throughout the year.
The trustees annually review the risks that the charity faces.
The risks have been addressed to date by proper procedures and insurance.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
During the year the charity has continued to provide sessions five days per week.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW, INVESTMENT POLICY AND RESERVES**
The charity relies on Essex County Council funding and fees from the parents/carers of children attending the sessions. The charity volunteers and trustees also organise various fundraising events throughout the year.
During the year income from basic charity activities was sufficient to cover costs.
The charity currently holds a single current account at Lloyds bank.
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
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 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, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**Alresford Pre-School CIO Independent Examiners Report**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustee of Alresford Pre-School CIO**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Alresford Pre-School CIO for the year ended 31 July 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustee you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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 can 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:
- the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.
