Administration

Chairperson Paula Saunders Treasurer James Dow Secretary Lesley Short

The AGM was held on 17[th] January 2023. Paula Saunders, James Dow and Lesley Short were appointed by re-election. James Dow and Lesley Short both gave notice of stepping down as Trustees once suitable replacements had been found.

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 the local community 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 31/08/2022.

Income for the year totalled £203,217. Expenditure for the year totalled £186,532 The surplus of income over expenditure for the year was £16,685

Fees will be reviewed regularly by the Trustees and were increased to £5.95 an hour from January 2022. The next scheduled increase is planned for February 2023 to £6.50 an hour.

Review of the Year for the period ending August 2022

Scalliwags employed 13 part time members of staff, comprising of 8 qualified practitioners (including 2 with QTS) and 1 Administrative Assistant and 1 Business and Finance Manager. In May 2022 Scalliwags was proud to be able to open a second setting in the neighbouring village of East Peckham. The second setting started off with a small number of children and used staff exclusively form the Paddock Wood site (having recruited two new staff to work in Paddock Wood). The site in East Peckham is a pack-away and serves children form East Peckham and surrounding villages. Both sites enjoyed a fabulous Summer term and working together with various school Early Years teams a smooth transition was achieved for all of our school leavers. The year ended with Leavers Celebrations on both sites and in Paddock Wood we hosted a wonderful picnic for all of our families. This event was supported though a KCC Reconnect grant.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees

I report on the Accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2022, which are set out on pages 1 to 5.

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.
