Matilda Community Day Nursery

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and Aims

The object for which the Company is established, as stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, is to promote, develop and provide facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children under the age of five, resident in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets with particular regard to children resident in Matilda House, St Katherine's Way, London.

The main objective for the year was the operation and management of a community day nursery.

Significant Activities

Matilda nursery continues to provide dedicated care for pre-school children; enriching their development within the early years education system framework and preparing them for their eventual progression to primary school.

The nursery continues to participate in both the funded schemes for 2 year olds and the 30 hour free places for 3 and 4 year olds.

During this year, the Matilda participated in an OFSTED inspection. The nursery retained a "Good" rating and has already taken steps to work towards an "Outstanding" rating.

The nursery extended their offering by curating a series of trips to extend their day to day learning. The children delighted in a variety of trips from a boat trip to Greenwich, to seeing planes take off at City Airport to seeing the city up high during a trip to Sky Gardens.

In addition, the nursery held events to engage the local community. The summer fair and fireworks evening were events that allowed the community to share in the celebration of culture and diversity along with Matilda family and staff.

The nursery welcomed 15 new families into the Matilda family during this financial year and celebrated the graduation of 16 children from nursery.

Public Benefit

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PD2)'. The achievements and activities above demonstrate the public benefit arising through the Charity's activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Position

During the year the Charity's income amounted to £230,494 (2023: £194,939) with a surplus of £42,060 (2023: £8,780 deficit). The financial position at the year-end revealed by the Balance Sheet on page 8 show net assets of £84,444 (2023: £42,384). The net book value of fixed assets held at the year-end, all of which are used directly for charitable purposes, amounted to £420 (2023: £nil).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal Funding Sources

The principal funding source is parental fee income, supplemented by donations and fundraising activities.

Investment Policy and Objectives

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The entity has a substantial accumulation of cash presently invested by being placed on deposit with an approximate rate of return of 0.04% per annum. This is below the current rate of inflation in the UK.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees consider it prudent to maintain an adequate balance of unrestricted funds to cover the Charity's contractual commitments and ideally would like these to be at a minimum level of between 3 months and 6 months of annual expenditure.

As of 31st March 2024, accounts showed reserves of £84,444 (2023: £42,384), of which £10,833 (2023: £10,833) was restricted and £73,611 (2023: £31,551) was unrestricted. The unrestricted funds not designated or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity were £73,611 (2023: £31,551).

The Trustees consider that the Charity's reserves will enhance the services provided and provide financial security for the future.

FUTURE PLANS

The nursery will continue to provide dedicated care for pre-school children and plans to increase the occupancy rate of the nursery.

The nursery would like to refurbish the garden shed and the external storage shed. This will help attract more families when they come to view the nursery. In turn we hope that we will achieve full occupancy in 2025/2026.

The number of members of the Management Committee shall not be less than three nor more than nine.

All members of the Management Committee shall retire annually at each Annual General Meeting, but shall be eligible for re-appointment.

No paid employee is eligible to serve as a member of the Management Committee.

Organisation

The day-to-day running of the organisation is overseen by the Nursery Manager who reports to the Directors/Trustees, who are responsible for determining all of the company's policies and ensuring that committee meetings are held every six to eight weeks.

Induction and Training of New Trustees

New Directors/Trustees are initially provided with copies of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, together with the most recent Annual Trustees' Report.

Risk Management

The Directors/Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the Company has appropriate systems of financial controls for the organisation. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements follow best practice. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

  2. All parental fees are recorded on a week-by-week basis and regular monitoring of fee balances is maintained in order to avoid the accrual of arrears. Any parental arrears that may have become manifest and not satisfactorily resolved initially by the Nursery Manager will be reported to the Directors/Trustees, in order for appropriate action to be taken as may be deemed necessary.

  3. Annual reviews are undertaken and any additional procedures that may have become necessary are implemented.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

a) Income received by way of grants and donations are included in full in the settlement of Financial Activities when received, unless they relate to a specific future period, in which case they are deferred.

b) Income from charitable activities received by way of revenue grants and donations are credited to restricted income resources on the earlier date of when they are received or when they are receivable, unless they relate to a specified future period, in which case they are deferred.

c) Grants and donations of general nature that are not conditional on delivering certain levels of service are included within Grants and Donation. Performance related grants and donations which have conditions for a specific outcome are included within Income from Charitable Activities.

d) Capital grants for the purchase of fixed assets are credited to restricted incoming resources on the earlier date of when they are received or receivable. Depreciation on the related fixed assets is charged against restricted funds.

e) Nursery income is recognised as earned (that is, as the fees for the nursery places) on an attendance basis.

f) Investment income is included when receivable.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Page 10

continued...

Matilda Community Day Nursery

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Expenditure

a) Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of seeking grants and donations and other trading activities that raise funds and their associated support costs.

b) Expenditure on charitable activities include expenditure associated with the main objectives of the charity and include both direct costs and their associated support costs.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance and administration personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Improvements to property - 12.5% on cost Nursery equipment - 20% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

The organisation is a registered charity and therefore, is not liable to income tax or corporation tax on income derived from its charitable activities, as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised.

Page 11

continued...

Matilda Community Day Nursery

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Donated services and facilities

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity, which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. No such donations were received during the year.

Judgement and estimations

In the application of the company's accounting policy, the charity is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Financial Instruments

The charity 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.
