The Playgroup promotes a safe, caring, supportive and inclusive environment where each child's self-esteem is fostered by positive relationships with each other, staff and volunteers. We strive to have parents, carers and community members actively involved in our children's learning.
b. Public Benefit
The charity acknowledges its requirements to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purpose or ‘aims’ that are the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Annual Report of the Trustees. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
c. Organisation Structure
Minster Playgroup (formerly Minster Nursery Group) was founded on 1st September 1963. The current constitution of Minster Playgroup was created by the 'Pre School Learning Alliance'(PLA). Membership of the alliance is by annual subscription.
The Playgroup is managed by an elected committee who. Subject to the rules, control the affairs, funds, property and proceedings of the Charity. They are assisted in the administration of the Charity by a management team.
d. Decision Making Process
The Playgroup is managed by a committee who are Trustees of the Charity. They have individual and collective responsibility for the management of the Charity and its funds.

Strategic report
a. Achievements and Performance
-
‘ This year was challenging due to Covid, we had to change our procedures and running of the playgroup by operating support bubbles for the staff and key worker children, even though the year was difficult we still maintained a safe learning environment for the children.
-
. During this time to we were able to continue to support our families remotely, staff sharing videos of storytelling, activities, etc.
-
° April 2020 the playgroup had 114 children on roil at both sites. ° July 2020 we helped over 54 children on their transition to school.
-
’ Boogie Tots and Yoga continued to visit.
-
. We still carried out sports day, teddy bear picnics, school leavers party. We were able to raise £800 from our sponsored event, we have now establish wish lists on Amazon, relationships with the Co-Op and other local businesses so we can receive donations.
-
. Minster Playgroup is continuing to thrive with a healthy waiting list for September 2021. We continue to support children from all walks of the local community whatever their needs.
b. Training for Staff
Due to the pandemic the staff completed lots of CPD by using online training programmes.
c. Financial Review
The main course of income is derived from Kent County Council (KCC) Early Years Funding for 3 year old children, KCC Free for 2 year old funding supporting families with 2 year old children and fee paying families. From January 2019 we upped our funding hours from 18 to 21 to incorporate breakfast and fruity club to provide a better service to our families. During this accounting period we had a higher expenditure then normal due to opening our Abbey site.
The Charity holds reserves in order to maintain the level of service to the children on roll. Should there be a reduction in incoming resources.
Reserves in this context mean funds that are freely available for the Charities general purposes after all commitments have been met.
In addition to such restricted reserves the Charity may also hold additional ‘restricted reserves' representing funds donated for a specific purpose which cannot be used for anything other than the purpose for which they have been donated.
It is the intention of the trustees to hold sufficient funds to enable the charity to the equivalent of 3 months running costs.
It is the opinion of the Trustees that existing reserves still need to be built to meet the above requirement.

The trustees have examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
b. Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
Under the Charities Act 2011 the Trustees are required to prepare a statement of accounts for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and its incoming resources and the application of such resources during the year.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
- General information
The charity is a charity registered by the Charity Commission in England and Wales and governed by the constitution adopted 24 May 1978 as amended in 1 March 2017. The registered address is given on page 1 of these financial statements.
- Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to providea ‘true and fair’ view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Minster Playgroup meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The charity's functional and presentational currency is pounds sterling.
The charity's financial statements are presented to the nearest pound.
2.2 Going concern
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertanities related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustee's make the assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of approval for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Whilst the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been assessed by the Trustees, so far as is reasonably possible, due to it's unprecedented impact on the worldwide economy it is difficult to evaluate with any certainity the potential outcomes on the Charity’s future activities. However, taking into consideration the Charity’s level of reserves and actions they have taken, the Trustees believe the Charity will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

- Accounting policies (continued)
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021
- 2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Minster Playgroup has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Minster Playgroup to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Minster Playgroup's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Government grants
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
2.6 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Minster Playgroup; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

----- End of picture text -----
2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
----- Start of picture text -----
Fixtures and fittings . 25%
Office equipment - 25%
Play equipment ~ 25%
----- End of picture text -----
- 2.8 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
- 2.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.10 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Minster Playgroup anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.11 Financial instruments
The Minster Playgroup only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.12 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.13 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Minster Playgroup and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Minster Playgroup for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
