Aims and Objectives

Our primary goal is to ensure that we provide the highest quality childcare that is both accessible and affordable. Our setting will differentiate itself by a passionate attention to detail in everything we do underpinned by our quality programme.

Children will be safe, loved and stimulated in an efficient, well maintained and above all homely environment. We will promote a healthy understanding and respect for natural values in all aspects of the setting. Above all, we want children to leave our setting with the confidence and skills to help them meet the challenges that lie ahead in the school system and beyond. We passionately believe this to be a joint effort between the setting and parents and to that end we will promote the right environment for that partnership to succeed.

Ultimately, we wish to be a leading exponent of day setting best practices and to achieve this through consideration of the needs of the child, the family, our staff, the community and the environment. The strategy we have adopted to achieve our mission is:

Continuous improvements

To enhance our quality of provision through continuous improvements in:

Values

The values we have adopted to achieve our mission are that we will always strive to:

Our overall business aims and targets.

In order for the setting to develop, we need a clear vision of where we want to be and to have sight of the key aims and targets that need to be understood by everyone involved in the setting operations:

Reserves Policy

NFC has a reserve policy as follows: -

£5,000 to demolish building and return to a field, as per quotations obtained in April 2012.

£20,000 to maintain the running of NFC for 8 weeks in exceptional circumstances if there was no income. Our Aim is to increase these funds to extend this to 12 weeks running costs plus demolition costs steadily over the next 2 years. Subject to increasing running costs, we anticipate circa £32,000.00 These funds have been put in a bank account with Lloyds Bank.

This policy is in line with guidance from the charities commission and the pre-school learning alliance. The reserves policy will be reviewed annually.

Going Concern

The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity remains a 'Going 'Concern'.

Achievements

Unfortunately, the roof of our setting leaked and was beyond ‘patch-up’ so we required extensive works to be done. Although mammoth in terms of fundraising, we were able to secure funds to get this repaired. This was £5,911.58

General Notes

We continue to monitor, adapt and most importantly, provide a safe and nurturing setting to our families.

Norland Fun Club Registered Charity 1026429 Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Norland Fun Club

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have

  4. not been met; or

  5. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
