SUNNINGWELL PRE-SCHOOL

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2022

Summary of the Main Achievements of the Charity During the Year

Over the past financial year the preschool has continued to make improvements to both the physical learning environment and our daily practice to increase occupancy. This financial year we have continued to deal with the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic, this has seen some lower than usual numbers as parents and children started to return to childcare. We are also aware that we were awarded an MOD grant in the financial year 20/21 and the majority of the spending of this took place in the financial year 21/22 showing as a greater deficit in the years account.

Our forest school sessions remain popular and in high demand, we have continued to welcome all children attending on these sessions. We have been able to make significant improvements to this area using our grant from the MOD. We hope to extend the opportunities available during our sessions and build a community with our military families, utilising this space for open days and family activities etc.

Our apprentice working to achieve her NVQ3 and one member of staff working on their degree with the Open university, although this has been out on hold due to acting as manager to cover maternity leave.

Preschool pension contributions increased throughout this year and we are hoping to increase staff wages in line with the increasing national minimum wage increase. This will also mean an increase in fees for parents to accommodate these rises and the cost-of-living increases.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions preschool has had limited opportunities for fundraising events throughout the year including, we have managed some successful online events and raffles which will continue until the ease on COVID restrictions when more normal events can resume.

Summary of Main Activities and Public Benefit

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities.

The Pre-school aims to:

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Sunningwell Pre-School

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Sunningwell Pre-School for the year ended 31[st] March 2022 which are set out on pages 6 to 8.

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 examiner's 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 or 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.
