All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or other benefits. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** The aims of the pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age. This is achieved by: - Encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by: offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, together with the rights of parents, to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups ensuring that such groups are for opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion means or ability. - Encouraging the study of needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in, and recognition of, such needs in the local area. - Instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objectives of the pre-school learning alliance. Our main activities are to provide learning and education for children aged between 2 ½ years and 5 years in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the income and expenditure of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently - Observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP - Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are listed on page 1. Approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf.
