In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity
Commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.
The pre-school continues to be run by a parent management
committee.
We have continued to provide high quality care and education for
children under statutory school age in a safe, secure and
stimulating environment. We are at full capacity in both morning
and afternoon sessions and have a waiting list.
High quality has been maintained by ensuring staff are well-trained
and by providing an aduluchild ratio of 1.5 which is well above the
legal requirement of 1..8. Staff take on additional roles namely
special educational needs co-ordinator (working with parents and
outside agencies to ensure we get sufficient support to meet the
children's needs}, child protection officer, behavioural management
co-ordinator, photograph and evidence in line with early learning
goals leader, multicultural co-ordinalor and music and movement

## **SHENLEY LODGE PRE-SCHOOL INCORPORATED** 

## **- Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Shenley Lodge Pre School Incorporated** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Shenley Lodge Pre-School Incorporated for the year ended 31[st] August 2020, which are set out on page 3 and 4. 

## **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 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 Examiners 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. 

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.
