Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Fundraising events during the year raised: £136
Our preschool is very popular. We are proud of the wide range of play and learning activities provided at our preschool. We plan activities based upon the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile and the individual needs and interests of our children. We operate from a room within a community centre. As we don't have exclusive use of the room, we need to reinvent the space every day, which gives us an excellent opportunity to vary the activities we offer. We are fortunate to have a fantastic outdoor play area, provided from fundraising activity in past years. Our children have a wide range of activities they can undertake outside.
Behaviour at our sessions is generally excellent, which is testament to the structure of the sessions and our excellent staff. Our view, and that of their parents, is that when the children leave 0-5 to start school they are school ready, thanks to their experiences at Mere Green 0-5.
There have been no serious incidents to report during this period.

MERE GREEN 0-5 REGISTERED CHARITY NO 1019905 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment 20% reducing value
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

MERE GREEN 0-5 REGISTERED CHARITY NO 1019905 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024
Taxation
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
