Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We have achieved an OFSTED rating of “Good” in the inspection that took place in September 2023. “Children confidently talk to their friends and visitors. Staff read the children stories and sing familiar nursery rhymes to support their communication skills. At circle time, children talk in large groups and can retell the key moments of a story.”, Ofsted Report 2023.
Our SENCo acknowledges the hard work and dedication of staff, volunteers and external professionals to ensure the needs of all children are met. We pride ourselves on our inclusiveness and ability to offer our services to all children, whatever their needs.
We continue to fundraise to update our terrapin buildings through local fundraising activities and with help from the local community we were able to update the heating system, make improvements to the rooms and refresh the resources available to children.
All staff demonstrate a willingness to keep updated by attending and completing regular meetings and courses.

OLDLAND PRE-SCHOOL – CHARITY NUMBER 1192887
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
I have examined the attached financial statements.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner:
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of accounts. It is my responsibility to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report:
My examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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 trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
This report is made to you in accordance with the terms of my engagement and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the trustees, for my work of for this report.
Independent examiner’s statement:
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements a) to keep accounting records, and b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
