## **GOVERNING DOCUMENT:** PRE-SCHOOL LEARNING ALLIANCE CONSTITUTION 

## **OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY:** 

To enhance the development and education of local pre-school children, regardless of race, culture, religion or means. 



## **ACTIVITIES & ACHIEVEMENTS:** 

A good year for Pre-school. Numbers are low and not many coming through on the waiting list. In the summer we held a stay and play session for parents and children and this was enjoyed by all.1 staff member has completed the Early Years Development programme which they found a useful refresher of knowledge and have brought some good ideas back to the setting. More advertising needed to try and bring in some more children. 

Struggling to recruit new staff member. No suitable candidates applying. 

**DECLARATION:** The trustees have approved the trustees’ report above.

## Accrue Financial Limited 

The Trustees Hardwick and Arden Pre School Hardwick Community Centre Ferriston Banbury Oxon OX16 1XE 

4[th] December 2024 

To The Trustees, 

## **Accounts for the Year Ended 31[st] March 2024 Charity Number: 293654** 

As requested, I have conducted an Independent Examination of the Accounting Records of the Charity known as Hardwick and Arden Pre School for the above dated period. 

Based on the information and documents provided to me I believe the records represent a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial position at that date and as such I have prepared Receipts and Payments Accounts using that information for presentation to The Trustees. 

Yours sincerely 


Jennie Clarke M.A.A.T. Director
