Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This academic year we have continued to review and change our practices to provide the best start for our children. We have kept some practices from during covid which we believe benefitted the children ie having snack and lunch in smaller groups to encourage conversation. We have also been able to reintroduce some more of our home links learning for example activity bags and book bags.
We had a larger number of children with SEN needs and so our specialist staff and all the staff have worked hard to be inclusive and to help all our children to progress during their time with us.
It was another successful year with the transition of the older children to the local Primary School.
This year we didn’t have a dedicated Fundraiser and so it was very much a team effort with the committee helping out. We were unable to do as many events but we still managed to continue with our Yard Sale as well as our sponsored Welly Walk which were both successful.

)
Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
-
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below *)
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
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.
