ANNUAL REPORT FROM THE TRUSTEES OF ST LEONARDS DAY CARE (CHARITY No 292118) FOR YEAR ENDED AUGUST 2023
We are Trustees of St. Leonard's Day Care, Brington, Cambridgeshire, known as St Leonards, Brington. We see our role as ensuring that the aims and standards of St Leonards, Brington are maintained.
The aims of St Leonards, Brington are to enhance the development and education of children 2-11 years of age, by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups, offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture or religion.
Children are accepted from as young as two years old as the setting is registered for Funded 2s. The staff run a breakfast club, an after-school club and a holiday club, all of which are very successful.
We are now in our 7[th] year of offering extended hours, wrap around care and opening for 50 weeks of the year. This is continuing to have a positive effect on the numbers of children on our register as parents, both in our local community and increasingly further afield, enjoy the benefits of our flexible approach to childcare.
The improvement is due to our excellent pre-school leader and dedicated staff, who have worked very hard again this year to continually improve the level of care and education they provide to our children and to ensure they provide a safe and happy environment for all our age groups.
We, as trustees, continue to work closely with the Committee and staff of St Leonards to ensure they maintain the high standards expected. We attend meetings and receive regular copies of the minutes. We have seen and approved the audited accounts for the current year and as usual we have complete confidence in our auditors, bookkeeper and treasurer in their ability to handle our finances in an effective and economic way.

To the Committee and Trustees
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of St Leonard’s Pre-School and Out of School Club
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of St Leonard’s Pre-School and Out of School Club (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2023.
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.
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; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter 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.
