WALNEY CENTRAL NURSERY
Trustees Report
31 December 2023
During the year we continued to provide nursery care for children in the Walney area.
Moving in 2023, we still support a high number of SEN children, even though we get funding towards staffing cost this is only paid at the minimum wage for 15- 30 hours, so Nursery have to bear the cost of paying SSP and also holiday pay. As we had six SEN support staff this is a substantial cost to come out of Nursery. Because of the all the hard work that our SENCO and SEN staff put into supporting children with additional needs, we have become very popular with parents with children who need the extra support. This is a lengthy process engaging all the professionals to get the best early outcomes for these children. Making sure that all EHCP are in place sooner rather than later so that each of these children will get the support they need when moving into mainstream schools.
We continue to provide emergency care for children under a child protection plan. We have supported a child and Mum after the sudden death of Dad, we supported mum with childcare for two full terms.
The rise in living cost has had a great effect on Nursery, the cost of overheads is rising rapidly. So we do our upmost to keep the costs down, we have implemented some procedures to help support the efficient running of the heating and lighting etc.
The Trustees would like to record their appreciation and thanks to the parents, and members of the management committee for their help and support throughout the year.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The Trustees are required to prepare accounts for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of its surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing those accounts the trustees are required to:
-
a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
b) Make suitable judgements that are reasonable and prudent;
-
c) Prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity, 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.
