TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] AUGUST 2021
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2021.
Reference and Administrative Details
Manorcroft Nursery is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered number 1190734. The charity runs a pre-school nursery in Egham, Surrey. The website of the nursery is www.manorcroftnursery.co.uk
Structure, Governance and Management
Manorcroft Nursery is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance. We are run in accordance to its constitution dated 19[th] March 2020. The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance of the charity and meets at least three times a year. The minimum number of trustees is three.
The following trustees were in post at the end of the year and all served during the year:
Karen Windle Madeline Streeter Carla Lynch Elizabeth Morrell
Background to the accounts
In March 2020, at an Extraordinary General Meeting for the unincorporated charity, Manorcroft Nursery School (278251), it was agreed that the nursery should change its structure to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and adopt the model CIO Constitution for Childcare Providers 2013.
Ofsted registration was obtained for this CIO in March 2021. It had been the trustees intention to arrange for the unincorporated association to be closed soon after but, due to Covid-19 opening a bank account to enable the new charity to operate has not been straightforward and full access to online banking was only completed in February 2022. All income and expenditure for the academic and financial year 2020-21 has been reported through the unincorporated charity and the PreSchool Learning Alliance are aware of this and the reasons for this.
Financial Review
Manorcroft Nursery satisfies the criteria for exemption from an audit of the financial statements.
The Statement of Financial Activities, set out on page 6 reflects all incoming resources and expenditure in the year.
During this accounting period the charities’ income was £0 and the expenditure was £0. As stated above the Nursery continued to operate for the academic year to August 2021 through the unincorporated charity (reference 278251)

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
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 that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MANORCROFT NURSERY
We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ending 31[st] August 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 8.
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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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 examiner’s statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
-
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
