Registered Charity No. 1177578
Oatlands Preschool and Comrnunity Centre Charitsble Incorporated Or8anlsatlon- Financial Year
Endlng 31 March 2021:
Independent Examinerfs Report to the Trustees of Oatland5 Preschool:
I report on the Financial Statements of Oatlands Preschool for the financial year ended 31 March
2021, which are set out within page5 of these accounts.
This report is made solely to the charitvs Trustees, as a body. in accordance with section 145 of the
Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been
undertaken so that I might state to the Charivs Trustees those matters which l am required to state
to them in an Independent Examinerfs Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the
charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
The f1nancial statements have been prepared in accordance wth Accounting and Reporting by
Charities preparirig their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in
the United Kingdom IFRS 1021 in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities-
Statement of Recommended Practice issued on l April 2CrfJ5. This has been done in order for the
accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after l January 2015.
Respectlve respon5ibilitie5 of Trustees and Independent Examlner:
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Chariws Trustees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144{21 of the Charities Att 2011
(the 2011 Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed.
It is the Independent Examinerfs responsibility to-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Art:
To follow procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 14515) Ibl of the 2011 Art:
And to state whether any particular matters have come to my attention.
Based of the Examinerfs Ststement:
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 these records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeks explanations from the 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 Examinerfs Qualified Statement:
In connertion with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me
cause to believe that in any material respect-
Accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act. or
The accounts do not accord with the accounting records.

I have no concerns and have not come across any matters in connection with this examination to
which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be
reached. I have discussed the impact of the closure of the main operational activities of the Pre-
school from September 2021. and to the best of my knowledge, this does not affect the financial
position of the CIO reported in their financial statements to the year end 31 March 2021.

Chairpersons report to the Charity Commission January 2022. 

The biggest event to impact the Charity this financial year was the global pandemic and lockdown meant that we had to move swiftly to close both the community centre and partially close the preschool, with the setting remaining open for key worker children. New risk assessments and policies had to be put in place to ensure the safety of both the staff and the key worker children. Phill Rudd, a health and safety consultant offered his assistance during this time and we have now taken him on board as our charity advisor. We were able to take advantage of the Government's furlough scheme and a local authority grant to provide extra financial assistance. 

Our finances continue to be monitored by Jenette Tallon as part of the NYCC Traded Service who also provide HR support. 

The Charity went through many transitions during the ‘covid period’, as well as having to adapt to new procedures, a new management structure was put in place following the resignation of Caroline Reeve Steele and the employment of Lucy Anderson as joint Manager (along with Nikki Smith) in January 2021. The Managers along with support from Kerry Robinson worked on a new business model with plans for opening a holiday club in the Summer of 2021. 

The total income for the Charity was £112,389.97, down from the period ending 2020 by just under £8000. This included the money from the HMRC Job Retention Grant and a grant from NYCC, without which we would have had to make staff redundant. Expenditure was also down to £94,894.89 nearly £13,000 down on the previous year resulting in a surplus of £17,495.08. This is a very positive outcome for what could have been a very difficult year.  Fundraising was understandably low as we were not able to hold fundraising events or open the community centre for the majority of the financial year. Whilst a formal audit is not required, the accounts have been reviewed by Robert Davidsworth, our Independent Examiner. 

Moving forward in 2022 the Charity is intending to take a slightly different direction whilst still operating within the governing document  of the CIO. A safeguarding incident was followed by a temporary suspension from Ofsted in September 2021 highlighted a serious risk to the Charity continuing to provide regulated services for Childcare.  Moving forward the focus will be on working with different groups ranging from Early Years through to supporting the elderly in our community through the provision of non-regulated activities and services.  This will enable us to deliver our charitable purposes in a safe way. The space and resources we have allows us to concentrate on the provision of non Ofsted regulated activities through our community centre, we will be working with other Charities that support a wide range of Members of the Community as well as those supporting children and adults with special needs. 

To accommodate this change, which has been determined by the trustees in line with the best interests of the charity and its governing document it was agreed at the AGM that the charity’s 



name be changed from Oatlands Pre School and Community Centre CIO to **Oatlands Community Centre CIO.** This will enable us to be clear with our members and beneficiaries the new name for the charity and its focus in 2022.
