LITTLE ROBINS PRE-SCHOOL CIO

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD FROM 27 FEBRUARY 2024 TO 30 JUNE 2025

_______________

Objectives of the Charity

The CIO was formed when the previous charity, Little Robins Pre-School (Charity No. 1034704) was converted to the CIO on 27 February 2024 and the CIO Constitution adopted. The CIO started to operate on 25 February 2025 when the Ofsted registration was transferred from the old charity to the new CIO. The CIO was set up to provide playgroup facilities for under 5s.

Little Robins Pre-School CIO is a registered charity (No. 1207226).

Activities and Achievements this Year

During the period the main source of income continued to be from playgroup fees and early years grants. Some fundraising activities were held as detailed in the Receipts and Payments account.

Financial Position and Reserves

The accounts show the financial position and reserves as at 30 June 2025.

Net receipts for the period were £62,824 leaving a bank balance of £62,794 and a cash balance of £30 as at 30 June 2025.

The trustees consider that the reserves are adequate to continue the charity's current level of activity during the next period, but will continue to review the situation.

Risk Management

The trustees have undertaken a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems to mitigate those risks have been considered and are adequate.

Trustees

The trustees for the year were:

Mrs Michelle Napier (Chairperson)	(appointed 27.2.2024)
Mr Steven Chadwick (Secretary)	(appointed 27.2.2024)
Mr Ernest Napier (Treasurer)	(appointed 27.2.2024)
Patricia Rennick (Trustee)	(appointed 27.2.2024)
Julie Appleyard (Trustee)	(appointed 27.2.2024)
Trustees are nominated and seconded by committee members and parents at the AGM.

DBS checks are carried out on all committee members to ensure they are eligible to act on behalf of the charity. They also attend courses which are selected from the training directory provided to all pre-schools. Two of the trustees are also employed by the CIO to work in the pre-school, per the constitution of the CIO they do not have any voting rights in respect of salaries.

Volunteers

Playgroups have to have a certain number of responsible adults per child. Volunteers cannot be counted when calculating this ratio. Therefore although volunteers occasionally help out, they are not relied upon to meet the objectives of the charity.

Future Plans

Our future plans are to continue to provide pre-school facilities for under 5s.

For and on behalf of the Management Committee

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LITTLE ROBINS PRE-SCHOOL CIO

_______________

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Little Robins Pre-School CIO for the period from 27 February 2024 to 30 June 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’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

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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records.

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.
