TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
Our children’s numbers for 2022/23 have continued to increase on the previous year and due to demand, a waiting list remains in place.
We have also seen an increase in the number of SEND children this year and have appointed additional staff to meet this need.
At the AGM, the committee stepping down outlined that during this year the deficit had been more than halved with 7 months reserve being left in the account. Due to the rising cost of living, it was advised for the upcoming new committee to discuss and consider increasing the cost of fees to parents since parental fees make up 23% of income.
Since Covid, this is the first year we have managed to resume to normal fundraising. The following events have been held:
-
Carol’s on the Green
-
Christmas Fair
-
Raffle and Toy Sale at Cottenham Primary School
-
Easter Egg Hunt
-
The Curry Palace - donating a percentage of their takings, on an advertised evening, towards us as a
-
charity
This year, minus expenses we have raised £1,249. The money raised through fundraising has been spent on equipment for the garden.
Over the course of the year we have received Early Years Pupil Premium funding for some children which has been spent on relevant resources and experiences dependent on the needs of individual children in order to further improve their skills and knowledge.
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.

THE LADYBIRD PRE-SCHOOL
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
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 2023 the reserves were equal to around 6 months running costs (2022: 7 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: sums 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: £ nil Maintenance and Redecoration funds: £ nil Garden equipment funds: £ 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.
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.

THE LADYBIRD PRE-SCHOOL
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Structure, governance and management (continued)
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).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Ladybird Pre-school ('the charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

1. General information

2. 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 provide a '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.
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.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a thirdparty is bearing the cost. 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.
