Section D Achievements and performance

This year the Pre-School was due to provide sessions to a maximum of Summary of the main 50 children in the summer term. However due to Covid we had only 3 achievements of the charity children attend during the first half term, these were children with either 2 during the year key worker parents or on our vulnerable child list. This increased to 8 in the second half of the term as more parents were required to return to work. From Easter we provided themed activity packs every 2-3 weeks for all of those children who were at home. The packs were delivered to the child’s home and contained a variety of activities that were age related. These were well received by the parents. We created a parents’ only page on our website where parents could log in and keep up to date with any news and also send in photos of their children either doing the activities, we had sent them, or sharing with us things they had been doing at home with their families. We were very pleased with the response and received over 400 photographs. As always, the number of children increases from September through to July, 30 children left to go to school July 19. Staff continue to attend training throughout the year although this was restricted to Zoom meetings, with key staff attending Managers, Safeguarding and SEND Forums. The Autumn term saw us return to relatively normal levels of attendance, although some parents preferred to keep their children at home and a few of the children that were due to start with us in September deferred until January. Staff worked diligently to ensure that the Pre-School maintained all the necessary hygiene and safety procedures for us to operate safely. Once open again, our book library has continued to grow in popularity with over half of the children borrowing books. BLAST sessions resumed as did our small group reading or activity sessions. We are continuing to notice an increase in confidence in the children taking part in these activities. We continued to use our outside play area including our wildlife area. Our greenhouse has again been in constant use in the early spring with lots of seeds being sown. We now have our Level 1 RHS School Gardening award and are planning activities for level 2. Fundraising events: These have been very limited this year as we have been unable to have any events where we can invite parents into the setting. We have however sold cakes and had other activities where parents have been generous with their contributions.

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in responsibilities of accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income did not exceed £250,000.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

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.
