Bristol Association for Neighbourhood Daycare Ltd Report of the Board of Management and Independently Examined Financial Statement for the Year ended 31st March 2024

Company Reg. No. 2784577 Charity Reg. No. 1017307

Origin of the Organisation

The Bristol Association for Neighbourhood Daycare Ltd (BAND Ltd) is a registered charity that promotes the provision of care facilities for children outside of school hours. It was established in 1978 in response to the Finer Joint Action Committee report, which recognised that one of the most basic needs for working / training parents is to care for school aged children outside of school hours. Such facilities enable parents /carers to work or train full time, thus supporting the family unit to become independent, support the local economy and offer a safe and stimulating place for children to go.

Governing Document

BAND Ltd is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 28[th] January 1993 and registered as a charity on February 11 1993.

The Board of Management’s Responsibilities

All members of the Management Committee are advised of their responsibilities both as Trustees of the charity and as directors of the Limited company. Company law requires the board who are also charity trustees to prepare financial statements of each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the company affairs and of the surplus or deficit of the company for the period. The Board is required to:

The Board is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for the taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

Organisational Structure

The Management Committee meet at intervals of approximately one month to consider reports on the operation of the organisation and to decide on any policy or management issues which may have arisen. In addition, various Members, through appointment to sub committees or personal involvement, assist in the direction and management of the organisation. The elected Chairperson and other members are regularly contacted for the support and assistance in dayto-day operations.

The company currently employs 8 staff and has approximately 150 autonomous member groups that provide service to approximately 10,000 families. Member groups offer direct services to children and young people in the Bristol area. Affiliated members offer indirect services to children, young people and their families, or are based outside the Bristol area and share BAND’s overall aims and have an interest in the field of play, childcare and related services.

Risk Management

The Management committee and senior staff maintain a careful oversight of the Organisation's financial and administrative procedures in order to identify and rectify any weaknesses. Consideration is also given to the risks which might arise from the current financing of the organisation. Systems and procedures exist to minimise the risks the charity faces. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transactions. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the health and safety of staff, volunteers and visitors and users of the service as far as the charity may be liable.

How Our Activities Deliver Public Benefit

Our main activities and who we try to help are listed below and are undertaken to further our charitable purpose for the public benefit.

Services Provided By BAND Ltd

Demand for our services clearly shows that high quality, accessible childcare remains a basic need for many parents / carers, in particular lone parents and those on low incomes. Sustaining these childcare services in the current economic climate with many parents struggling with the cost of living crisis, means that while demand for childcare is high, providers are still dealing with the financial impact of the pandemic, Brexit and the resulting recruitment crisis and as a result scrutinising the viability of their services.

Through our active participation in network and fora locally and regionally BAND promotes high quality childcare, in addition we have supported members by offering the following services:

Development Support

A comprehensive range of advice and support for new childcare providers or those wishing to expand their existing childcare services, including: market research, locating premises, forming a management body, Ofsted registration compliance and other legislative requirements, financial planning and budgetary support, generating income from fundraising, fees and grants from charitable trusts, central and local government.

Maintaining High Standards

BAND supports members in meeting and exceeding minimum legal standards through a range of over 250 model policies and procedures covering topics including: safeguarding and promoting children’s welfare, premises and equipment, organisation and documentation. BAND's staff support members in developing and implementing these model policies to ensure they are appropriate to their setting and that their services are run to the highest standards. Full member groups are monitored annually to ensure standards are being maintained and are supported through financial health checks, post AGM checks and regular liaison with the settings management and staff. Our close liaison with Bristol City Council’s Early Years Consultants (EYC’s) team allow us to track their Quality Improvement Framework grades and offer complementary or additional support as appropriate. Childcare providers are offered PreOfsted inspection checks to ensure they are legally compliant and meet expected standards.

Employment Of Staff

BAND offers support with recruitment and selection of staff, interview procedures, drafting of job descriptions, induction and supervision programmes and meeting legislative requirements. We also accept recruitment adverts for publication on our website and promotion through our social media, mailings to members and display in the foyer of our building.

Funding Support

Members can access support from BAND staff to assist with their fundraising and long term financial sustainability. We can offer advice on fees and salary structures, assist with the preparation of budgets, financial forecasts, the implementation of appropriate financial procedures and the drafting of funding applications. In addition, members can access our funding database of nearly over 150 trusts and charities that support services to children and young people. Details of new funding sources and ideas appear in each issue of BAND News and our ‘Funding Your Way’ guide available on our website offers support and advice on generating income.

Training

We offer a comprehensive range of training courses to support continuous professional development covering a broad range of topics in the field of playwork and childcare, including: Child Protection, First Aid, Makaton and Inclusion. In total 55 courses were offered during the year, offering nearly 750 places of which 90% were booked and 95% of participants attended, many courses being full with lengthy waiting lists within days of being advertised. Since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 c.50% of BAND’s course have been offered online.

Workshops

We delivered 20 workshops for Out of School settings on the topics of Origami and Clay. Attended by more than 400 children the workshops were very well received with each setting being left with a ‘goodie bag’ of equipment to allow staff and children to continue with the activity and develop it further.

Insurance

Full members can access employer's liability, public liability and contents insurance with additional cover available on request.

Criminal Records Checks

BAND is a contracted umbrella organisation to the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) and can offer DBS checks to members wishing to check paid or voluntary staff who are not covered by statutory checking requirements. We are currently processing around 30 checks per month for approx. 50 organisations. We kept up to date with changing requirements of the DBS system and planned changes and cascaded this information to providers via direct mailing, BAND News and social media.

Loan Equipment

A library of around 400 titles on subjects relevant to play and childcare is available on loan to member groups. There is also a small stock of play equipment which includes: giant Jenga, Connect 4, Ker-Plunk and Snakes and Ladders, Mehendhi, Milagros and Encaustic Art Kits, Sport Bags and Musical Instruments, Sewing and Pond Dipping kits. Successful fundraising efforts during the year have allowed us to replace and add to this bank of equipment.

Mediation and Crisis Support

Advice and signposting for members when things go wrong, available by phone and email during office hours with personal visits often out of hours by request.

Networking

Local, regional, national and international news via a bi-monthly publication BAND News, an e- bulletin with hard copies available on request. In addition, we've published regular information mailings, email alerts and updates on the BAND website. We continue to develop a social media profile and have a growing number of followers/views on Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and YouTube.

Investment Policy

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are no funds available for long term investments. At present funds are retained in an interest bearing bank account from which operating expenses are withdrawn daily.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the Management Committee to achieve and maintain a level of ‘free reserves’ sufficient to allow the organisation to continue in operation for a short time in the event of any loss of current contracts, while seeking alternative finance. A realistic level of reserves for this purpose is considered to be between two to six months gross expenditure (£75,241 to £225,726 for 2023/24). Free reserves at 31 March 2023 amounted to £238,340.

Financial Review

Expenditure during 2023/24 amounted to £451,446 [2023: £425,555] against total income of £478,201 [2023: £442,165] resulting in a net surplus of £26,755 [2023: surplus of £19,610].

The General Revenue Reserve was £138,340 in surplus at 31[st] March 2024 [2023: £101,969] while the level of other designated reserves was £100,000 [2023 £100,000]. The net total of free reserves at 31[st] March 2024 was therefore £238,340 [2023: £201,969] which exceeds the Reserves Policy of BAND Ltd referred to previously in this Report.

A set of accounts is included in the Annual Report and the statutory accounts are available on request.

Achievements and Performance

Overall demand for all our services has continued to be high, with many providers struggling to maintain services following the ending of lockdown restrictions but growing pressure from the cost of living crisis. Many also face the challenge of a recruitment crisis meaning they are struggling to recruit and retain staff while costs steadily increase due to rising inflation.

The Development and Support Team continued to work with settings and individuals across the Private, Voluntary, Independent and Maintained Sectors. Our Annual Member's Survey showed that 93% of those accessing support from BAND’s D&S team rated them as Very Good or Excellent.

5

Docusign Envelope ID: 6E9CBD5F-7B9A-4780-9279-3C1E8B71821A

Although there was no allocation of funding by Bristol City Council in this year for the general development of childcare places due to financial restraints, BAND supported providers to develop 84 new early years places and 280 out of school places across the city in Nurseries, Pre-schools, Afterschool Clubs and Holiday Playschemes. A total of 364 new childcare places were created, the vast majority resulting from providers expanding their services, Our Annual Member's Survey showed that 100% of those accessing start up support from BAND’s rated it as Very Good or Excellent.

We have supported setting’s staff and management groups with a whole range of issues including recruitment and selection of staff, policy reviewing, budgeting and safeguarding.

In addition to this BAND has continued to be involved in a number of other major pieces of work. We've worked closely with the City Council over the development and rollout of their Safeguarding Audit and the rollout of their Childcare Sufficiency Assessment for the Out of School sector. We continued to take an active role in the City Council Project Group to oversee and implement the fourth year rollout of c.1.8 million pounds of government funding as part of the Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) initiative, supporting children in receipt of free school meals during the 2023-24 school holidays. We also delivered safeguarding training to support staff working in HAF funded settings and undertook monitoring of service delivery in HAF settings.

We've liaised closely with Bristol City Council's Early Years Consultants team which has allowed us to identify providers who may need additional support and target joint or complementary action with the EYC team. We've also been active partners in the Councils’ Recruitment and Retention Forum, working with key regional players aiming to develop and implement strategies to tackle the recruitment crisis.

We have supported groups to ensure that they continue to offer provision of the highest quality whilst being affordable for parents and enjoyable for children. To support this we’ve continued to play an active role in the Bristol Standard for Play, acting as mentors, directly supporting the sign up of providers to this Quality Assurance system, offering guidance and advice through the submission process and working on the development of the Outdoor Space audit.

We saw a steady number of applications for membership and as a result agreed and welcomed 10 new members.

Our enthusiastic and dedicated voluntary Management Committee, worked hard throughout the year to manage the overall running of the organisation.

Plans for Future Periods

We will continue to maintain services and develop new ones in responses to the changing demands of the play and childcare sectors. Service delivery will be based on take up of and feedback from existing services offered and undertaken with close liaison with the local authority and other key partners.

New services will reflect emerging trends, local, regional and national initiatives and legislative changes.

Docusign Envelope ID: 6E9CBD5F-7B9A-4780-9279-3C1E8B71821A

All service delivery and development will recognise the current and projected economic climate and work to ensure that services are sustainable. To this end we will continue to try and diversify our funding base.
