Sunnyside Pre-school Playgroup is a thriving group that caters for young children in the Kingsthorpe district of Northampton. We offer children the opportunity to learn through play in a stimulating and nurturing environment, which in turn gives parents the opportunity to work or train. Sunnyside Pre-school Playgroup is run by a parent management committee which is an important part of our local community. The preschool strives to be responsive to the needs of that community.

complete this work, it was necessary to have two large trees trimmed right back. In addition, we had the hedge row surrounding the preschool cut to fence level and thinned out. A swing and tyre climbing frame have been built to enhance the children’s physical development and enjoyment in the garden.
In addition, there was a second area of the grounds that was not in use, The side to the mobile classroom), this has now also had decking laid with a roof to cover, this has been turned into a construction area, which was observed to be another very popular resource, it can be accessed in all weathers. | | A stud wall has been built in the playroom, creating a sensory dark room, | this is a much needed space due to the increasing number of children | with Autism and ADHD, in addition over the last couple of years we have | observed increasing numbers of children with sensory processing, and self-regulation difficulties, so this area is essential in supporting those children to have a calm space away form all the noise and busyness of the playroom where they can soothe, calm and regulate before re-joining the rest of the children. To complete this work it was necessary to have a heater and light removed, and additional electric sockets added. | The preschool is full to capacity for September 2024, with a long waiting | list of children who still require a place, and a growing waiting list for September 2025. The pre-school continues to be proud of its good reputation. |

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 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.
-to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiners statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented within 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, nd 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 examiners statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
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: to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met, or
-
Towhichin my opinion attention should be drawn in orderto enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
