Report of the Committee on the activities of the Nursery & Playgroup (the Group)
All Saints Preschool Leatherhead
The Committee continues to provide playgroup & nursery facilities for under statutory school age. Sessions are provided all day Monday and Tuesday to Friday mornings. In addition a Thursday afternoon session is provided to the rising fives group to prepare them for school entry.
Daily administration & running of the group
Mrs Carlie Tullett, who is ably supported by a team of assistants, leads sessions.
Role of the Committee
All committee members are parents of children attending the Playgoup or whose children have been at the Playgroup in the last five academic years. All committee members are unpaid and volunteer. The role of the committee is to provide management support and direction to the group leader. They are also responsible raising funds to fulfil the budgetary needs of the group including ensuring fees and grants are received in good time and fundraising opportunities are realised.
The Committee meets regularly throughout the year, and the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer are available to the group leader at all times. An Annual General Meeting takes place each year in September or October.
Fundraising
The Committee engages in fundraising throughout the year, to augment the funds of the Group. Activities are organised and run by parents and committee members and all profits fed back to the Group. Regular fundraising activities each year include photographs of the children, a Christmas raffle. Other activities are introduced as opportunities arise.
Reserves and Investment Policies
The Committee's current reserves policy is simply to maintain sufficient cash flow for known commitments. The current reserves in the general fund amount to the equivalent 2 months expenditure for the Group as a whole. There is a reserve fund with sufficient reserves to cover any redundancy payments required. Most of the Group's income is made up of fees from parents' payable at the start of each term, together with funding from Surrey County Council for children within the funding bracket. These funds are received in advance each term. With a mind to early access to funds the Committee has chosen a suitable account from which transfers can be made as necessary throughout the year.
Risk Assessment
The Committee does not believe that the Group is subject to any substantial risk beyond the liabilities disclosed in the financial statements. The group operates a waiting list for children wishing to attend the Group in the future. The Committee is aware that by employing staff there is a risk should the Group fail that redundancy payments would be required, but believe current redundancy reserves would cover this eventuality should a major problem occur. Public liability insurance is in place through the Pre School Alliance, of which the Group is a member.
Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities
The committee is responsible for preparing financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the Group's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Committee is required to:
All Saints Preschool Leatherhead
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
-
Prepare financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the Group will continue on that basis.
The Committee is responsible for:
-
Keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the association and enable the Committee to ensure the annual financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993 and
-
Safeguarding the Group's assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. This report was approved by the Committee on 29[th] November 2021 and signed on their behalf by:
