Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
Covid-19 has continued to have a huge impact on life in 2020/21 and Ladybirds is again no exception to this. While we have not had a large scale lockdown similar to that of spring 2020, restrictions in place have still impacted Ladybirds operation and isolation rules have led to a number of small scale closures.
Children numbers have remained static for 2020/21 from the previous year although the uptake of hours has increased by 144 hours per week from the figures in 2019/2020. Despite this, hours for 2020/21 remain significantly lower than the pre-Covid figures with 22 children and 328 hours per week fewer for 2020/21 when compared with 2018/19. During the course of 2020/21 we noticed more parents were choosing to wait until their child was pre-school age before starting them at Ladybirds rather than joining earlier. It remains to be seen whether this trend will continue for 2021/22.
The 30 hours funding continues to be popular with parents who are eligible although numbers remain down on previous pre-Covid years.
During the course of 2020/21 the neighbouring nursery's building work was completed and a provider was appointed by Cottenham Parish Council. A staggered opening is scheduled for October 2021 and we await to see if its opening has an impact on Ladybirds once it is fully operational.
Ladybirds continue to be challenged with increasing costs following increases to the national living wage and operating costs that have been impacted as a result of Covid. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we were not able to operate our normal fundraising events and we are looking forward to being able to resume some of our fundraising activities in 2021/22. We were very grateful to some volunteers who undertook some fundraising on our behalf during this financial year with the goal of purchasing a new pirate ship and balance beam for the garden. These were installed in early 2021.
Over the course of the year, we have received Early Years Pupil Premium funding for some children which has allowed us to purchase new resources to help promote the children’s learning.
Our Moving On session which is aimed at preparing pre-school children for their move up to Primary School continues to be well received by parents and teachers at the Primary School. These sessions remain some of our most popular and well attended within the setting.
Our usual autumn term provision of a Reception Class pick-up service, collecting children from their Reception classes at Cottenham Primary School during the first few weeks of term when the new starters finish early, was suspended for 2020/21. Although this provides a vital service to parents and carers, it was decided that it would be too great a risk in light of Covid-19 to have children regularly traveling between the setting and the primary school. A consequence of this was that the income stream from this service was lost.
We continue to work closely with other early years professionals to improve the outcomes of all children in our care and we work within the guidelines of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Staff have attended various online training courses in order to extend their knowledge of the EYFS and a number of them have worked to gain further professional qualifications.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
Ladybird Pre-School aims to build and maintain a general fund of reserves to cover 9 months running costs. As at 31 August 2021 the reserves were equal to around 9 months running costs (2020: 12 months). This level of reserves should cover any short term cash flow fluctuations and provide a buffer against unforeseen future emergencies.
These reserves are kept liquid and low risk, by holding them in a bank or building society. Rates of interest are regularly monitored.
In addition to the reserve, designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by Trustees for particular purposes. They are:
-
1- Deprivation funds: sums set aside to support children, in our community, with exceptional circumstances. 2- Training and professional development funds: sums set aside to support staff in their continuous professional development.
-
3- Maintenance and Redecoration funds: sums set aside to maintain a clean and safe environment. 4- IT funds: suns set aside to ensure IT system meets the operational requirements.
-
5- Garden equipment funds: sums set aside for new outdoor play equipment.
| Statement of designated funds: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Deprivation funds: | £ | 735 |
| IT funds: | £ | 1,011 |
| Training funds: | £ | 470 |
| Maintenance and Redecoration funds: £ | nil | |
| Gardenequipmentfunds: | £ | nil |
This level of reserves should cover any short-term cash flow fluctuations and provide a buffer against unforeseen future emergencies. This reserve does not allow for any major capital project. Any such project would require independent funding.
The reserves will be built gradually from both fee income and fundraising.
The Trustees review this policy at least annually to ensure that it reflects current business needs.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The principal object of the charity is to enhance the development and education of children primarily under the statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
Structure, governance and management (continued)
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.
The Trustees who served during the year and dates of appointment and resignations are shown on page 1.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
A committee of parents is elected in the new year at the Annual General Meeting of the Pre-school. The committee are responsible for the running of the group and employ a manager to manage it for them. The manager is responsible to the committee, reports to committee meetings and is supported by one deputy and two senior practitioners. Decisions about the running of the group are made at committee meetings.
d. Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
We continue in our aim to seek out ways to improve and widen our provision for families with young children in Cottenham.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

-
° select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
° observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

-
° state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

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 provide a ‘true and fair' view.

The Ladybird Pre-school 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.
- 2.2 Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donatedby volunteers.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
- 2.3 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.
