Organisational Structure
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation CIO, registered with the Charity Commission on 5th October 2017. The organisation is governed by the Trustees, who determine strategic direction and policy. The day to day operation is also carried out by paid staff. Due to an administration error dating back to 2017 the pre-school had to register with OFSTED as a new setting in September 2025. All policies and procedures remain the same as does the overall aims of the Charity.
Aims of the Charity
To enhance the development and education of children under the statutory school age by encouraging parents to under and provide for the needs of their children through community groups.
Main activities and statement of public benefit
Main activities and statement of public benefit In planning the activities during the year the Trustees have considered the Charity Commissions Guidance on public benefit. The Trustees have ensured that the organisation has worked to forward it's aims and objectives by providing care and education of pre-school children, while offering flexible childcare to parents who wish to work/train, or just for their children to mix with others. The pre-school continues to serve the local community by providing good quality early years education and care. The numbers of places allocated to children although remaining high is less than in recent years. The majority of children are funded through the Local Authority as either part of the universal funding for three year olds, through working families’ entitlement or because their household is in receipt of certain benefits. We also support some local children who have been identified as having Special Educational Needs. The plans for the future include retaining the current staff team, building on their skills and knowledge through training and potentially redesigning the outdoor space
Financial review
The Trustees feel the Charity has performed well during the period of accounts. The Charity has been able to generate a surplus which will be used to fund/subsidise childcare places.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have a reserves policy of 3 months running costs and redundancies. The Charity has been able to uphold this level during the period of the accounts.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the year end and of its incoming resources and resources expended during that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; where applicable
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees declare that they have approved the above report.

Examiners report to the Trustees of Chapel Street Pre-school for the period ended 31st October 2025
I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the period ended 31st October 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 5.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. 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 needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 or 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 statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 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.
