In accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 8 and comply with the charity's constitution and applicable law.
Constitutions and objects
The charity was incorporated in 1988 and is constituted as a company limited by guarantee. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company, and is governed under its articles. The charity's object and its principal activity continues to be that of providing nursery places to young children and continues to operate from the registered office, 1 Colne Road, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD1 3AY. Charity Number : 702041 Company Number : 2327767
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The directors of the charity are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and, under the company's Articles, are known as members of the Board of Trustees. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Board of Trustees elected to serve for a period of one year, after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Trustees of the company seeks to ensure that its members possess the range of skills and expertise required to benefit the work the company undertakes.
In the event of particular skills or expertise being lost due to retirement, appropriate individuals are identified and approached to offer themselves for election to the Board of Trustees.
Trustee induction and training
Most trustees are familiar with the work the charity undertakes, however new members are invited and encourage to visit and familiarize themselves with the charity and its operations.
An induction is also provided to new members in the form of a short briefing/training session which is led by the Chair of the Board of Trustees or another trustee of the Board.
Organisation
The charity is organised with full time administrators who manage the day to day administration of the charity with part time assistance as and when necessary. The functions of the administrators are overseen by the company secretary.
Review of the year

Grant funding was obtained to assist with the cost of providing the places.
Future developments

Investment policy
Grants have been provided to assist in the continued running of the charity for its everyday needs.

Anita Hovath Andrew Ross Danielle Lyon Alexander Edward Pearson
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements.
Charity law requires the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its surplus or deficit for the financial year, and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate Statement of Recommended Practice on
Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at
any time, the financial position of the charity, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under Section 132 of the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
In accordance with company law, as the company's directors, we certify that:
-
So far as we are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware;
-
As the directors of the company we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware
-
of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Charity's auditors are aware of that information.
By order of the Trustees

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACCA, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination, I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

-
2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirements that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination;
-
or
-
4 the accouunts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods of and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.
