Achievements and Performance SORP ieferenca The aims of the pre-school, which are to enhance the development and education of children through the provision of play, education and care facilities, were all achieved once more this year through supporting the children's individual needs, working with families and transitioning children to school. Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. Para 1.20 Ashurst Pre-school continues to be popular with local parents and carers and places are generally filled well in advance of attendance. The pre-school has continued to have high occupancy rates and maintains a waiting list for additional sessions and for new starters in the future. In September 2024 Ashurst opened a second site (Lyndhurst Teddies) which is located on the site of Lyndhurst Infant School. The aims are the same as Ashurst site. Opening a new site was carried out with conversations with the local authority and to support the local community.

Financial Review Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the period Para 1.21 During the previous year and again this financial year the pre-school exceeded the income threshold that required it to maintain accruals accounts under FRS102. This year we continued to see eligible parents taking up the 30 funded childcare hours. Therefore. the majority of our fees are paid from the Government's funding. We have continued to have parents paying top up fees for extra sessions or for those who do not qualify for the 30 free hours however this is a lower level than previous years. This year we were impacted the significant increase in the staff wages due to the rise in minimum wage and living wage. We have also had to regularly review our fees and increase accordingly. We continue to notice the impact on the National Cost of Living crisis on all of our expenditure and have been reviewing our expenses. This financial year we opened a second smaller site in Lyndhurst. The accounts are not a full year so we have been monitoring to ensure that Lyndhurst remains financially viable. The pre-school seeks to maintain reserves, adequate to cover an appropriate contingency plan as set out below. A reserve for capital projects was largely exhausted through development of the site in the 2016-2017 year but is continuing to be rebuilt to allow future ca ital investment. Staff redundancy and 1 months wages - £30,000 Working capital reserves, . £30,000 Capital reserves - £20,000 Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held Para 1.22 Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 The financial aims of the pre-school are to remain above the working capital and staff redundancy reserve (required in the event of closure) of £60,000, except in exceptional times (such as during specific short-term investment). The pre-school accepts no financial risk and performs no investment activity. All reserves are held in low risk, fixed return, cash accounts. 'Council funding is predominantly received at three specific points of the year but expenses are incurred throughout. At year end, cash balances can be Ljp to £30,000 higher than at their lowest point in the eriod.
Reasons for holding zero reserves Details of fund materially in deficit Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern Para 1.22 NIA Para 1.24 NIA Para 1.23 As a committee we have been monitoring and observing the national increased cost of living. As a result of monitoring the impact of the increased costs we made the decision to change our bookkeeper. This was so we can keep more details on outgoings to closely monitor the budget. We are also continuing to plan to increase our fundraising opportunities over the next year. We are also aware the minimum wage and living wage is set to rise again in Aprll and will be reviewing wages and fees in accordance with these increases. We continue to have high waiting lists and the support of the local authorities and Foxhills schools who share the campus. This financial period covers the first few months of opening Lyndhurst in September 2024 so our next full accounts will allow us to review if it is financially viable. Operation of the pre-school is subject to a strong regulatory environment in which it has performed well (being rated 'good' by OFSTED). The pre-school is located on land owned by the local authorities, The risk that the pre-school may not be a going concern is therefore considered very low and the Trustees are satisfied that the pre- school remains a oin concern.
