## **WOODLANDS PRE SCHOOL CENTRE**
## **Trustees' Report**
Woodlands did not operate a pre school service from September 2024 and the remaining staff – Stacey and Pearl were made redundant in September 2024.
Discussions with the Education Authority and Woodlands’ management continued regarding the transfer of the building and contents to the Education Authority for the purpose of accommodating the new planned statutory
This process was still ongoing at 31 August 2025 and it is expected to be complete by 31 August 2026 for the new nursery to commence in September 2026.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Woodlands Pre School Centre**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025 which are set out on page 3 and 4.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner**
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.
## It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under Section 65 of the Charities Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 65 (9)(b) of the Charities Act;
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement**
I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and an examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act.
My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation from you as charity members concerning any such matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
1. That the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 63 of the Charities Act.
2. That the accounts did not accord with the accounting records.
3. The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act.
4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of matters 1-4 listed above and, in connection with the following Directions of the Charity Commission Northern Ireland; I have found no matters that require drawing your attention.
