Report of the trustees for the year ended 31st August 2023

The trustees present their annual report together with financial accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2023 and confirm that they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Trustees during the year:

Governance

The pre-school is governed, for the public benefit, in accordance with a formal constitution.

The appointment of trustees is generally confirmed by members at the Annual General Meeting. It is sometimes necessary for new trustees to be appointed directly by the existing trustees at other times.

All trustees are volunteer parents of children who either attend the pre-school now or attended in the recent past. Trustees give their time for free and receive no financial benefit.

The trustees have formal roles and responsibilities and meet regularly (at least every 6 weeks) in a managing committee, which is also attended by the Pre-school Manager, Angela Kirchner.

The pre-school is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance.

The pre-school is inspected and approved by the LEA and Ofsted and works closely with Social Services where child welfare considerations warrant this.

The pre-school has in place a number of policies and formal procedures, which are reviewed at least annually and are agreed by majority decision at committee meetings. Capital expenditure must be approved by the trustees.

Core Objectives

The pre-school’s overall objective is to enhance the development and education of children aged 2 to 4 in a parent-involved, community-based group, and in particular to make sure they are well prepared for starting at

primary school. (The majority of children attending the pre-school go on to Dr Radcliffe's Primary School, located almost directly opposite.)

The overall wellbeing of the children is extremely important to the pre-school therefore they strive to provide a happy, safe, secure, and stimulating environment in order to develop the children's individual learning potential through structured play and social activities.

The pre-school actively promotes the importance of ‘learning through play’ principles both within the pre-school and for parents/carers to continue within the children's home environments.

The trustees consider that these purposes have been carried out for the public benefit in accordance with the guidance of the Charity Commission.

Operations, Staff Training, & Ofsted

Mrs Angela Kirchner leads the teaching staff and manages the pre-school. The pre-school operates on weekdays during term time, with the day split into three sessions, Early Birds, AM and PM sessions.

The pre-school ensures that all employees are fully supported and well trained so as to successfully meet the needs of all children in their care. The pre-school has supported studying for various NVQ qualifications, and all safeguarding courses are complete and up to date.

The pre-school’s premises, playground, and other outdoor areas are checked each day for health and safety risks and the building’s main structure is maintained to a high standard, both internally and externally.

The last Ofsted inspection was held on 9[th] November 2022 and the setting was rated as ‘Good’. The report is available on our Website for all staff, parents and carers to consider.

Fundraising Activities

The fundraising team is led by Helena Juckes. All those assisting in the Pre-School's fundraising activities volunteer their time to create and deliver fundraising events outside the school day. The varied events are targeted at children, parents & carers at Pre-School as well as those in the wider community.

The Pre-School’s staff also play a fundamental part in raising much-needed funds for the Pre-School via fundraising initiatives within the school day such as sponsored events with the children.

Fundraising efforts for the 2022-23 academic year raised £5,541. This figure was made up of various events that took place over the academic year:

The Pre-School also communicates regularly with parents and carers requesting donations of craft resources and the like to be used in activities with the children.

We are grateful to all those who volunteer their time to assist with our fundraising efforts. We have an exciting plan of events for the coming academic year and welcome those who would like to assist.

Finances

The accounts for the year ended 31 August 2023 have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) by John Dovey FCCA, who also performed the required independent examination.

The accounts show net income for the year of £6,480, 27% less than for the previous year to 31 August 2022.

There was a 4% increase from the previous year in income from the pre-school’s core education activities. This was due partly to a rise in the session fees charged by the pre-school, and also due to increased income from “holiday club” provision outside normal term time.

There was a 9% increase in operating expenditure from the previous year. This was largely due to increased staff costs, which were in turn due to a combination of pay rises and an increase in activity levels in the setting.

The financial surplus generated for the year was driven in part by an almost threefold increase in fundraising income. The trustees are committed to using any available surplus (beyond what is needed as a “rainy day” reserve) to continue investing in the preschool’s much-valued staff, especially in the context of ever-rising costs of living, as well as the preschool’s facilities and resources, with the overarching aim of providing the highest possible quality of education and care for the children in the setting.

The closing cash balance of £38,392 has been deemed sufficient to meet the pre-school’s anticipated needs. The trustees consider that the pre-school is in a financial position to be able to continue its normal operations into the foreseeable future.

Bryony Rowcliffe Chair, Steeple Aston Pre-School 10[th] November 2023

 it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;
 the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the

In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Legacies
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been
grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the
estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity
or have been met.
Income from interest,
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in

when receivable.
Support costs
2.2 INCOME

Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.

discounts
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
Investment gains and

Settlement of insurance
claims
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be

realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.

Review the accounting records maintained in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011, or, in the case of a charity that is a company, the accounting records maintained in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 , in order to provide a reasonable basis for the identification of any material failure to maintain such records.

  9. Records are clean, descriptions of transactions are sufficiently detailed.

  10. Carry out analytical procedures to identify unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. Where concerns arise from these procedures, the examiner must seek explanation from the charity trustees. If, after following such procedures, the examiner has reason to believe that in any respect the accounts may be materially mis-stated then additional procedures, including verification of the asset, liability, incoming resources or application, must be carried out.

  11. No unusual transactions identified

  12. No material concerns

  13. The examiner shall carry out such procedures as the examiner considers necessary to provide a reasonable basis on which to decide whether or not the accounts prepared under section 132 of the Charities Act 2011 comply with the form and content requirements of the 2008 Regulations including their preparation in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (the SORP).

The examiner must also consider and review any significant estimate or judgment that has been made in preparing the accounts.

  16. Adopted accounting policies are consistent with SORP and appropriate to the charities activities. There are no significant extremities in the accounts.

  17. When accounts are prepared under section 132 of the Charities Act 2011, or in the case of a charity which is a company, prepared under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 , the examiner shall compare the accounts to any financial references in the charity Trustees' Annual Report (if any); identifying any major inconsistencies and consider the significance such matters will have on a proper and accurate understanding of the charity's accounts.

  18. No material inconsistences identified

  19. The examiner shall review and assess all conclusions drawn from the evidence obtained from the examination and consider the implications on the report to be made under Regulation 31 of the 2008 Regulations.
