Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Windmill Nursery Dartford

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year to 31[st] August 2020 as set out on pages 3 to 4.

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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 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 Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met

Notes

The deficit in the year has arisen primarily due to a timing difference relating to payments received from Kent County Council each year. The payment of £17,220 on 27 August 2019 was included in the previous year and the payment of £21,248 on 2 September 2020 will be included in the following year.

The Trustees have responsibility for setting a budget and monitoring expenditure during the year, in order the Nursery gets best value from the funds allocated from the government and nursery fees collated. This is to ensure that the children obtain maximum benefit from the limited resources available.

The Trustees are very grateful to the parents, staff and friends who continue to give financial support and help maintain the nursery to its high standard.

The trustees confirm, in accordance with the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (General) Regulations 2012, that at year end the CIO did not have any outstanding guarantees to third parties nor any debts secured on assets of the CIO.
