Treasurer's report 202212023 The accounts for the 2022123 year whith have now been signed off by the Independent Examiner show that we made a £22,021 operating profft. However. as always wtth accounts it is important to consider the detail that sits behind the numbers. 1. A reduction o ees from parents of £12,000. down by 25% in 2022. but this is more than offset by a very impressive increase in Govemment funding of £55.000 up by 133Yo in 2022. This is due to more genefDUS funding aangements supporting three-year-olds. It also explains the reduction in fees frum parents a8 they relate mainty to two-year-olds so not funded by Governmerrt. 2. Fundraising has increased by £4000, lawely due to the Covid constraints diminishing. allowing a range of pn)active funding events by staff conNrllttee and parents. 3. The revised optional charge for Childn'S consumables brought in an additional £13.500. 4. Staffing costs have increased by appruximately 16% explaned by an addttional part-time member of staff. additional hours required for long care pantS for children and pay increments for two full-time members of staff. 5. Other costs are more or less consistent Wtth last year. 6. All trust monies and donatiorE tovrdS the purdiase of the premises have been transferred to LF CIO although Little Fingers Pre-school is owed £4,150 tor professional fees on acquisition and is in the process of being repaid. We have cash at the bank of £60,019 and £18.134 in our savirKJ account plus £25.000 in reserves. Fundraising efforts continued during the course of 2022123 and thanks should go to all the Committee. Staff, Olivia and Carotyn as well as members of Vemham Dean village who have contributed, whether by assistirKJ wrth the plant sales, the ttle Fingers Ea8ter Egg Hunt, the Christmas Raffle - it all helps and is much appreciated. In total £8,073 has been raised for the Pre-school thUgh fundrassing efforts. In addttion the pre-school received a grant of £383 for utilising on toys and equipment which allows the Staff to purchase new equipment for the pr school. Finally as we look fornard to 2023124, Little Fingers continues to be in a fantastic and thriving place and l atn sure tt will continue to go from Stngth to strength.

Little Fingers Pre•school Financial statements for the year ended 31 st August 2023 Registered Charity Number: 1058252 Independent Examiner's Report Geofftey Davis Bsc A prev FABRP MIPA ctrrte Collis Cottage. Hookwood Lane. Upper Clxrte. wiltshi SP119EF Little Fingers Pre School {LFPS) ort of Inde nt rn enden Examin mmi ee ees. I have now commenced the independent eyamination with the helpful assistance of Olivia Duckney, the Finance and Administration OFffcer, covering the accounting year to 31 August 2023. My signing off takes place after your formal meettng and ITUStees Report-. The relevant Charity Cornmission authorities state, -An independent exominotion tis a fomi of eKternol scrutiny providing o limited check on specific matters-. The IE is only required to confirm whether ony moterial matters of concern have come to their attention-. It is not on audiL I have reviewed the standard form Receipts and Payments for year end 31 August 2023 and Balance Sheet as at that date which appearto be in order. and 31s0 made comparisons with the results for 2022. Key points are: l. A reduction of fees from parents of £12,000 {down 25% v 20221 but more than offset by a very impressive increase in Government funding of £55,000 lup 133% v 20221- This is largely due to more generous funding arrdngements supporting 3*e3r-olds. It also explains the reduction in fees from parents as they relate mainly to 2wear-olds not so funded by Government. Fund raising has increased by a most credltable £4,000. largely due to the CDvid threat diminishing allowing 3 range of proactive funding events by The Committee and Parents. 3. The revisèd optional charge for children's consumables brought in an additional £13,500. 4. StaffÈng costs have increased by approximately 16% explained by an additional part time member of staff, addttional hours required for longer care periods for thildren and pay increments for 2 full time members of staff. 5. Other costs are more or less consistent wrth last year. 6. AJI trust monies and donations towards the purchase of the premiss have been transferred to LF CIO although LFPS is owed £4,150 (professional fees on acqui5itionl in the process of being repaid. mm As an advisory, LFPS is now holding significant tash assets and steps should be taken to maximise interest receivables and an appropriate resolution passed at the AGM to open an Interest-bearing account to this effect ASAPI This will have to be in LFPS'S name in the first Instance at least until Ofsted have approved LF ao child-care operations and appropriate surplus cash balances transferred at the appropriate time. Given the frustrating impediment caused by Of5ted's delay in grantlng the authorisation for the CIO to operate normally I have discussed wtth Olivia Duckney possible temporary arrangements for the core 11 c118
business to remain operational wtthin LFPR and treat the LF CIO as a Tandlord, and lease the property to LFPR on a non-proftt basis allowing it to be reimbursed for all property related overheads which LF ao will bear. There is scope in both constitutions for a leasing arrangement, but it might be prudent to take some legal advice on thi5. LFPS is comfortably sofvent, the quality and competence of the book-keeping and accounts presentstion remains strong, and I propose to corKluct a final revFew and sign off my IE reports after the AGM. GNJD 17 Ortober 2023 -It is proposed that Olivia Duckney as Finance ond Administration Officer, is o¢rthorised to open a Business/ Charity Sovings account designoted -LittJe Fingers Pre Schoof at any reputable High Street Bank including Notionwide. Olivia Duckney should be an authonsed signatory on (Jccount mandate along with l or two other Trustee>." As cash assets exceed £IOO,000 it is proposed that £75.000 is placed on a 301354ay notice account earning between 2 and 3.1% interest annually but payable monthly into LF Current Account held at Santander. As an example. Nationwide, who are considered to be one of the greenest financial institutions and currently offer up to 3.1% on 3 35-day notice saver payable monthly. Coop offer a similar deal but only * 2.1°Al To max out on the interest receivable the account Is oper*ed internet and telephone/e mall only so no cheques or branch WSFts. Transfers in and out will be few and far between bLrt on a timèly basis. The application, whith ever bank is selected. will require a full list of all trustees. names and addresses required. After the initial approval the second part of the application will probably require ID and possibly more precise resolutions. The application process will re1 exactly the account will be operated and by whom. 12olf8
