The statement of accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the provisions of the Charity SORP (FRS102) ‘Accounting and Reporting for Charities’. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## GOVERNING DOCUMENT Darley Dale Preschool and Nursery CIO was registered as a charity on 18 August 2016 and its principal address is Joseph Whitworth Centre, Station Road, Darley Dale, Derbyshire, DE4 2EQ. ## TRUSTEES SELECTION METHODS The recruitment of Trustees is reviewed periodically and at least on an annual basis. ## RISK MANAGEMENT The Trustees undertake a review of the major risks to the financial sustainability of the organisation annually and monitors the risks throughout the year. ## **Objectives and Activities** The aims of the Preschool are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by - (a) Offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability - (b) 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 - (c) instigating and adhering to furthering the aims and objectives of the Preschool Learning Alliance. ## **Activities and Achievements** At the start of the financial year our Pre-School numbers were at maximum capacity. The staff remained the same as before. In May we purchased some caterpillars and the children enjoyed watching them change into butterflies, where we released them into the park. Spring was very nice and we spent a lot of time out in the local park, feeding the ducks and enjoying the lovely weather. In June we started the transitions to school. They were still quite different due to Covid. We communicated with all teachers of the local schools, who visited the children at our setting. The children only got one visit into their new schools, but was all confident and had met their new teachers. In July we had to close due to Covid, the majority of staff and a third of the children got the virus. We came in after 10 days closed and deep cleaned the setting. We decided due to Covid to postpone Graduation until the end of the summer holidays. Bethany and Libby left in July. Bethany due to family commitments and Libby’s contract ended and she was due to have her baby. We had our long-awaited Graduation and party, in which the children had a great time and the parents loved seeing them perform and dress in their cap and gown. In September we set on an apprentice level 2, called Georgia. Katie left for a career change in November, due to our numbers not full we didn’t set on until February. We had our Christmas party where Santa came to visit and the children sang their Christmas songs to Santa and their parents. We also went to our local residential home and sang our songs to the elderly residents, which they thoroughly enjoyed and joined in with the singing. In February Libby joined us back again, working two days a week. - 4 - This financial year has seen some hard times, but generally it has been a positive year for the children of our setting, which all seem to love our little Pre-School. We are now looking forward to Spring and doing lots of wonderful things in the park which we are located. ## **Trustees responsibility for the accounts** Charity law requires the trustees of the Preschool playgroup to prepare statements of account for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: - i) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently - ii) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent - iii) to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the methods and principals set out in the Statements of Recommended Practice Accounting and Reporting by Charities and to state whether or not the accounts have been prepared in accordance with that statement and applicable accounting standards - iv) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Preschool playgroup, and to enable them to ensure that any statements of account comply with the requirements of the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the preventions and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is required. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 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 of disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as 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 statements below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to our attention: 1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements i. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and ii. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and the principles of the statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached Eleanor Rice ACMA FMAAT CGMA Acer Business Services Ltd 12 Broadwalk Darley Dale Derbyshire DE4 2TT 24 January 2023 - 6 - ## **DARLEY DALE PRESCHOOL AND NURSERY ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** |RECEIPTS
