During the period 1 [st] April 2020
and 31 [st] March 2021 Esklets cared
for approximately 17 children.
Summary of the main This was severely compromised

difference the charity’s requirement to keep children and
work has made to the staff in ‘bubbles’. This resulted

as a whole. Esklets could only offer childcare
to a limited number of children
due to the need to operate with
children and staff in ‘bubbles’.
Esklets operated as normal from
the start of the Autumn term but
some fee paying parents were
reluctant to send their children.
The service provides an
invaluable service to the local
community, providing care and
education to the local village
children and allowing parents to
work
The Pre-school has good links
with the local village primary
schools, allowing children to
make a smooth transition to
school.
Esklets is a community minded
group which promotes friendship
and networking amongst the
families attending. We help

who may have no local links, a
chance to meet other parents and

## **Financial Review**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 During the accounting period the
financial position at the total income amounted to
end of the period £44,431 from donations, North
Yorkshire County Council fees,
private childcare fees and
fundraising. The total
expenditure was £46,280 and is
detailed in the attached
accounts. There were also
support costs of £1,344, leaving a
net income of minus £3193.
Taken with a loss the previous
year of £6,574 this leaves a total
loss of £9,767.
This ongoing financial situation is
due to many factors such as the
effect of the pandemic upon
attendance, the inability to
fundraise during the pandemic
and the dip in the number of
available children in a very rural
setting. These figures have been
addressed by working together
with North Yorkshire County
Council to create a better
understanding of costs, much
fundraising activity, reduced staff
numbers, putting up parental
fees and a rigorous cost cutting
exercise. A greater focus on the
target market has also led to the
decision to open in the holidays
and to extend the daily hours in
order to meet the needs of
working parents. The trustees
meet regularly to monitor the
budget.
The funds are held in 3 accounts
with the approximate balance as
a 31 [st] March 2021 of
Current account - £1,602.22
Savings account (held as
reserves) - £6,515.73
Fundraising account (savings) -

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Esklets Preschool
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Esklets Preschool**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Esklets Preschool (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.

## **Financial Review**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Review of the charity’s Para 1.21 During the accounting period the
financial position at the total income amounted to
end of the period £44,431 from donations, North
Yorkshire County Council fees,
private childcare fees and
fundraising. The total
expenditure was £46,280 and is
detailed in the attached
accounts. There were also
support costs of £1,344, leaving a
net income of minus £3193.
Taken with a loss the previous
year of £6,574 this leaves a total
loss of £9,767.
This ongoing financial situation is
due to many factors such as the
effect of the pandemic upon
attendance, the inability to
fundraise during the pandemic
and the dip in the number of
available children in a very rural
setting. These figures have been
addressed by working together
with North Yorkshire County
Council to create a better
understanding of costs, much
fundraising activity, reduced staff
numbers, putting up parental
fees and a rigorous cost cutting
exercise. A greater focus on the
target market has also led to the
decision to open in the holidays
and to extend the daily hours in
order to meet the needs of
working parents. The trustees
meet regularly to monitor the
budget.
The funds are held in 3 accounts
with the approximate balance as
a 31 [st] March 2021 of
Current account - £1,602.22
Savings account (held as
reserves) - £6,515.73
Fundraising account (savings) -
£2,569.16
Statement explaining Para 1.22 Income is dependent upon the
the policy for holding number of children attending the
reserves stating why setting, therefore money is held
