## **AIMS & GOVERNING DOCUMENT** 

Oakley Kindergarten operates under the Pre-School Learning Alliance Model CIO Constitution for Childcare Providers 2013. The aims of the kindergarten are: 

- (a) to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age, in a parent participating community-based group. 

- (b) to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment. 

- (c) to work within a framework that ensures equality of opportunity for all children and families. 

We have a team of qualified staff and ensure all training needs are met through regular personal development opportunities. The significant expense of kindergarten is staff wages. These are described more fully in note 3 of these accounts. 

Oakley Kindergarten believes in learning through play.  We promote child-led learning and adults in the setting support children when they first show curiosity, by seizing the moment and supporting their next steps immediately.  Planning in the Moment with young children maintains a strong link to practice providing rich adult-child interactions in everyday practice. 

The children are happy, engaged and truly involved.  They gain independence, resilience and show an excitement for learning safe in the knowledge that the adults will follow their lead. 

Each day throughout the play session we operate ‘free flow play’ between the inside and outside environment.  Children become most deeply engaged when they have autonomy as they are pursuing their own interests in an environment that allows them to be creative, take risks and challenge themselves in their endeavours. 

In setting the charity’s objectives and planning its aims and objectives and future activities the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

## **ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR** 

Oakley Kindergarten CIO started operating from 1 March 2024. 

The kindergarten welcomes all children and operates under an Equal Opportunities policy.  We support children from 6 months to statutory school age to develop to their full potential through a curriculum that covers the seven areas of learning. The three prime areas are: communication & language, physical development & personal and social development. We also support children in four specific areas through which the prime areas are strengthened and applied.  The specific areas are literacy, mathematics, understanding the world and expressive arts and design. 

We aim to build strong parent partnerships and value input from parents, as their child’s first teacher. We operate a key person system to enable these positive relationships to develop. We work closely with the local primary schools, welcoming the teachers to our setting and adopting their routines to fully prepare the children and ensure a successful transition to school. 

The kindergarten maintains high standards of education and the children continue to progress in all areas of development in a caring and supportive environment.   We continue to be spontaneous following the children’s interests whilst still including activities around the festivals and traditions that occur throughout the year, considering each child’s cultural capital. We value all traditions and cultures in a holistic way and we promote the British Values of mutual respect and tolerance of others with different beliefs. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The finances of the kindergarten are reliant on voluntary fundraising and the number of children enrolled in each year. 

It is the policy of the kindergarten to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Kindergarten, at a minimum level equal to three months’ employment costs.  This equates to approximately £54,000. 

The restricted total fund is £320,729.17 which is represented by the new building asset less the liabilities for the new building loan.  This was received to cover the cash flow of the new build project and the kindergarten unrestricted funds. 

As at the end of December 2024 the total unrestricted funds is £146,301.37. 

## **TRANSFER FROM OAKLEY PRE-SCHOOL** 

The activities were previously operated by an unincorporated charity, Oakley Pre-School (charity number 1030651). Upon the formation of a new CIO entity, the activities were transferred and any remaining funds held by Oakley Pre-School were transferred into Oakley Kindergarten on the first day of operation. This fund transfer is reflected in the fund balances as at 31 December 2024.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **to the Trustees of Oakley Kindergarten (Registered Charity No. 1201886)** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the 10 month period ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 8 to 15. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; 

- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- (3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Account and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
