Paula Saunders, James Dow and Lesley Short were appointed by re-election by parents at the virtual Annual General Meeting, held on 10[th] March 2022. ## **The objects of the Charity** The object of the Charity is to provide pre-school education to children from two years old to five years of age. The management committee aims to provide first class pre-school facilities for the benefit of pre-school children drawn from Paddock Wood and surrounding areas. The pre-school is very proud to be all inclusive, inviting all to join us, space permitting. ## **Summary of financial results for the year ending 31/08/2021.** Income for the year totalled £175,642.07. Expenditure for the year totalled £170,367.57 The surplus of income over expenditure for the year was £5,274.50 Fees will be reviewed regularly by the Trustees and were increased to £5.95 an hour from January 2022.

November 2020 saw 3 staff joining our team (Kate, Jenny, and Julie). In the summer term of 2020, Nicki decided to stay at home come the end of her maternity leave. Two members of staff, Janice and Sally decided not to return to the work considering the pandemic. Page 2 Scalliwags Pre-School CIO Covid-19 still had a significant impact on the setting during the academic year 2020-2021. Positive cases for children and staff at the setting as well as amongst staff children meant that logistics were sometimes a challenge. We are very proud not to have had to close during this time and this is thanks to our fabulous staff team and the support of our parents. Due to the Government imposed Lockdowns, Scalliwags saw a drop in demand. Staff moral hit a low in the Winter lockdown of 2020/21, schools were only open to keyworker children, yet early years was open to all. We continued to operate a bubble system with the hall divided into 2 bubbles with a 2m wide gap dividing the bubbles. Staff were allocated a bubble, and some were placed on flexible furlough due to the reduction in demand for some sessions. The summer of 2021 saw virtual transition meetings with the Primary school staff and Specialist teaching Services as well as communication with the Primary school’s Family Liaison Officer, SENCo and Early Years team. Sports day became sports week with one parent per family invited to watch, socially distanced and wearing masks, it was fabulous to be able to offer this opportunity to our school leavers after the year that we had all had. We also even managed a socially distanced Leavers Assembly (over two days) for our children leaving us to go to primary school, our parents and children were thrilled to be part of this. We felt confident that we had done our very best to facilitate a smooth transition to Primary school for the 34 children who left Scalliwags in July 2021.

Page 8 Scalliwags Pre-School CIO ## Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees I report on the Accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2020, which are set out on pages 1 to 7. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** As the Charity’s trustees, the committee is responsible for the preparation of the accounts; the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply. The examiner is asked to state, any particular matters that should give rise to further investigation, on the basis of the procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s report** The 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, seeking 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 the examiners not requested to express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent Examiner’s statement** To the Chairperson, Scalliwags Pre-school CIO I have examined the financial records of Scalliwags Pre-School and I find that they are in accordance with the vouchers and other documents presented to me. There are no matters that I need to draw to your attention. Page 9
