## **Objectives and Activities**
to “ _**Love, Laugh, Play and Learn Together”.**_
We know that children learn in a number of ways - through play, adult modelling, observing each other, guided learning and direct teaching. At The Wendover Pre-school we give children the best experience in their early years by providing a mix of these approaches across our curriculum.
## **Achievements and Performance**
research and opinion in Early Years Prac�ce which supports reflec�on and keeps us current. It shows true resilience and dedica�on that the team con�nue to make The Wendover Pre-school a great place to start children on their Learning Journeys.
We con�nue to be supported by our wonderful Trustees who all take great interest and responsibility in the day to day running of the se�ng. We are par�cularly grateful to Mrs Bradshaw who has offered curriculum support this year as well as encouraging the staff with reflec�on.
## **Financial Review**
In the year 2022/2023 our income increased slightly (£63,219) and our costs increased (£64,326). This left us with a deficit for the year of £1,107.
The main reason for the increase in costs was staff wages due to the increase in the minimum wage.
At the end of this financial year our Bank Account held £36,259 (which includes our “reserves”).
Our main income comes from our Funding Agreement with the Buckinghamshire Council for funded children.
Other income is non funded children and fundraising.
Our Policy is to hold funds to cover 3 months running costs (£16,500), and in addition funds to cover staff redundancy (£11,250) in case of closure.
The main risk factor facing the pre-school is the increased cost of staff. We staff the pre-school on ratios for our setting model.
Plans for the future of the pre-school include ; maintaining/increasing our child numbers, raising our profile and further fundraising. We plan to do this with continued support of our parent volunteers, amazing staff and dedicated Trustees giving their time, thought and energy.

## **Examiner’s Report**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Wendover Pre-School**
**Charity Number 1157324**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 August 2023.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees 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 my 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 my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's 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 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:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
