Charity Trustees Annual Report

Trustees: Laura Kemp (Chair), Carl Mortimer-Smith, Amy Potter, Rose Johnson

The financial year of April 2023 to April 2024 brought stability and success to the Pre-School following a difficult period the year before.

The number of children attending the setting continued to rise to the point where all Pre-School places were full and we had a waiting list. This was a result of holding open mornings for perspective parents, leaflet dropping in the local area and promotion of the setting on social media.

In April 2023 the Pre-School took on the After School Club to provide wrap around care for the Primary School from 3.15pm – 5.30pm on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Initially the After School Club was managed by Hannah – the Pre-School Manager and Jessie – the Deputy Manager. In the summer of 2023 we recruited two more members of staff to run the club.

Carl Mortimer-Smith was recruited on to the committee and in January 2024 we held our AGM which saw Sara Rose step down from the committee and Carl take on the role of Treasurer.

In December 2023 the Pre-School joined in with the Otley and Witnesham Christmas Fayre to raise funds for both Primary Schools and Pre-Schools.

Also in December 2023 Jo Regent was recruited to cover the Pre-School Manager one day per week, which allowed Hannah time out of ratio to complete the necessary administration work. Jo had many years of experience as a Pre-School Manager and was also willing to cover Hannah’s upcoming Maternity leave in April 2024.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all of the staff and committee members for your hard work and commitment over this year.

This rcport on thc accounts of thc Witncsham prc-school for thc ycar cndcd 31-3-2024 is in respect of an examination carried out under s.43 of the Charities Act 1993 Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner As the members of the pre-school you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 3(3) of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 do not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with Regulation 7 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 1995. Basis of independent examinevs report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the Act and to be found in the guidance from the CBF. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the pre-school and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or d isclosures in the accounts and s¢¢king explanations from you as trustccs concerning any such matters. Th¢ procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent Examiner's Statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requ1￿MentS to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act, have not been" or to which, in my opinion, attention should bc drawn in order to ¢nablc a propcr understanding of the accounts to be reached.
