TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)
Brief History
The Dell was first established in September 1991 by two parents caring for six children after school two days a week and grew from there. In January 2004 the breakfast club was formed and proved successful. Income from fees has previously been supplemented over the years by grants from various local bodies. The club has grown to service the needs for a vast number of families with children at Morgans School for breakfast, after school, and holiday care.
In January 2011 The Dell expanded, providing Breakfast & After School Club, to Abel Smith pupils based at this school.
During school holidays in addition to offering services for both our host schools, The Dell attracts further families from the community who are looking for regular childcare, fun activities or just a break.
The Dell Out of School Club
The Dell Out of School Club currently operates term time breakfast and after school clubs at two school sites in Hertford:- Morgan’s JMI School & Abel Smith School, as well as a holiday play scheme usually based at Morgans School.
Each of the clubs are managed by a qualified Manager. Both sites are registered with OFSTED for the provision of Early Years and Childcare for children between the ages of 3- 12. Morgans last inspected September 2024 and Abel Smith in Jan 2020.
The Dell — Abel Smith School
The Breakfast Club Now merged for all year groups is based in the School Dining Room and this year provides care between 7.30am and 9.00am for up to 48 children.
There is a free choice of indoor activities including art, games and reading. Children chat to their friends at the breakfast table or for those slow to wake up, just sit quietly. Breakfast of cereal and toast is served until 8.30am.
After-School Club. Our after-school provision for children up to the end of Year 1 is held in the Annexe building for 20 children with the older children from Year 2 upwards using the Dining hall and ICT suite, providing capacity to offer up to 24 children in this age group
There is a weekly theme to engage the children in educational play as well as time spent outside in the school fields or school playground. Parents and staff have been very generous in providing new toys and activities to enhance the children’s play. Besides offering a full range of play and recreational activities our afterschool clubs provide a healthy light tea to the children who attend. Occasionally the children may have an outside trip or nature trail into the town or to the churchyard next to the school.

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)
In 2023 the breakfast club was split as a total capacity had been exceeded and so now the Early Years children attend Breakfast club in the annexe building whilst those aged year 2 and above attend in the dining room in Queens building. There is a free choice of indoor activities including art, games and reading. Children chat to their friends at the breakfast table or can play a selection of tabletop games. Breakfast of cereal and toast is served until 8.30am. The children are escorted to line up for class at around 8.45am.
The Mandeville Club - after school until 69m daily was previously based in the annexe. It provides care and activities for Nursery and Infant children up to and including Year 1. The children’s play and learning are enhanced via the Early Years Framework and linkages to school themes and activities. A light healthy tea is prepared and offered daily. Staff who work in this area are qualified in childcare.
The Queens Club (Years 2-6) Based in the school dining room and Queens Hall it provides care and activities until 6pm. A light healthy tea is made with the children’s input, especially with the menu planning. Indoor activities available to the children include free choice of home corner, pool table, table tennis, cooking art and craft, Lego, k-nex and other construction toys, board games, quiet corner for reading and resting. We use the hall for the team games and sports. Outdoor sports include cricket, tennis, trim trail, Tree house, small bikes, skipping etc. also sand and water play as well as gardening for the Early Years children. Holiday scheme Operates during the school half term, Easter and the whole of the summer holidays and occasionally part of Christmas Holiday. We also offer subject to demand childcare on inset/occasional days The holiday club has themed activity weeks and are open to children aged three to eleven. In addition to the activities available during term time, play scheme free choice activities includes different art and crafts, team sports, bouncy castle, bowling, and walks to visit local places of interest i.e. park visits, and sports, dancing and storytelling. Our aim is to review and improve of the quality of services we offer to our families. As well as to provide a good support and development structure for our staff. We continue to build on our partnership with parents and promote a sense of belonging, emphasising the fact that everyone - parents, children, committee and staff, have a part to play in making a success of the club.

Staffing at The Dell
Staffing is based on a ratio of 1:8 children, with some additional support form Assistant Playleaders to help the current staff. The Dell has been fortunate to employ full time qualified managers and deputies at both clubs which has helped with succession planning. In 2023 we took on an Apprentice who is now qualified and a further two apprentices have been appointed in 2025 to provide continuity of qualified staff.
Succession planning has also been enhanced by recruiting / promoting existing staff to become Senior Playleaders. Our core team of Dell staff have all worked extremely hard and have been committed to their jobs by providing excellent services to the various clubs. At the start of this year, we had around 23 regular staff on our payroll plus some students who returned to us during the holidays.

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)
Staffing is kept flexible through a mixture of fixed, term time, bank and seasonal contracts. Teamworking and staff participation is encouraged through regular supervision, team meetings, and things like team building events. Some of our students were ex pupils who attended The Dell during their primary school years.
Staff are equipped with the skills required through due diligence training courses such as First Aid, Food Safety, Child Protection and activity courses.
Achievements and Performance
Despite a challenging economic climate The Dell continues to maintain good numbers although Abel Smith reflected a downturn at Breakfast club due to parents working from home. A small reduction in contract bookings has been offset by a higher-than-expected number of ad hoc bookings.
Our holiday club returned a good revenue particularly from children under 5 years. Other local out of school clubs focused on their term time offer so we became one of the only out of school club in the local area providing OFSTED holiday provision for under 5’s. Whilst there was availability for Early Years children within some local private nurseries, our costs remained competitive and the fact we were able to offer sibling places helped.
We adapted staffing and activities to meet the demand of a younger age group and ensuring staff were able to meet the additional needs of these younger children.
The continued use of our online booking system coupled with the use of social media allows easy access for parents to book and pay online via stripe and the ability to receive direct debit payments via Go Cardless helped streamline some of the payment processes.
Both host schools are supportive of the services we provide and have continued to help us in negotiating a fair rent for the sessions we run. A significant increase in rent at Morgans has helped keep the competition on this site at bay and we have had facilities allowing us to offer care for both older and younger children.
Staff continue to receive training in Paediatric/ First Aid and online courses for Safeguarding Prevent, FGM and food hygiene.
The Dell came under pressure to increase staff salaries in line with the living wage which gave staff around a 6% pay increase.
Staffing
Our management team has continued to evolve with Karen developing in her role as Manager at Morgans. The appointment of Sarah Matthews to deputy (following Maisie’s decision not to return to work at the end of her maternity leave) was short lived and since the summer 2025 this position has remained vacant. Vicki Philpott continues to Manage Abel Smith alongside Gemma as her Deputy. They continue to build a stronger relationship with the school.
With the assistance of our Finance Officer, Sara and Business Manager, Carolyn and support from Helen DeBois from Rapier group we ensured that the business remained as streamlined

as we could. We continue to use Xero accounting to track and manage our accounting processes and having completed several full years it is becoming easier to be able to track our costs on a year-to-date basis.
The Dell Committee have been kept up to speed with the financial position and have been integral to the decision making during the year. As well as supporting with regular meetings. Rapier Group continues to support The Dell with part time office facilities and finance services for which we are grateful.
The financial results are shown in the accompanying statement of financial activities, balance sheet and related notes to those statements.
Financial Review
The attached financial statements show the current state of the finances, and the Trustees are aware of the results.
Reserves Policy
We continue to hold reserves to cover any short fall in revenue in the event of another incident closure or suspension of services. This would be primarily used to cover staff wages/redundancy in the event of a closure/ suspension of services.
The unrestricted funds amounted to £64,955 (2024: £64,838) at the reporting date. The Trustees aim to maintain a reserve of three months’ running costs. This allows The Dell to continue operating and provides the capacity to explore new sources of funding should any of its funding streams be withdrawn or come to an end with no immediate replacement.
Investment Policy
The Charity’s investment policy is not to allow interest to accumulate but to use it in fulfilling the Trust’s objectives. Income is credited to the appropriate fund. There are no restrictions on the Trustees’ absolute powers of investment.
Risk Management
The Dell regularly reviews its procedures to minimise risk to its assets and income. This involves identifying the major risks to which the Trust is exposed, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and the likelihood of occurrence and establishing systems to manage those risks.
The economic climate and recessionary trends will continue to affect the Dell during 25/26. We are seeing the number of contract bookings fall slightly, although this is supported by increased ad hoc bookings and so some families are choosing a more casual approach to booking their childcare. It is anticipated that a few parents will reduce their childcare and it is envisaged some parents may no longer afford us - which may mean that parents choose to look after their children at home to reduce outgoings.

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)
The cost of meeting the increases in the living wage is affecting not just the lower salary levels but also the staff who previously had been paid above living wage also need increases to reflect the points of[differentiation.] The governments increase[of] minimum wages from £11.44 to £12.21 from April 25 has and will continue to significantly affect our costs particularly as wages are one of the biggest costs to the Dell.
The increase in employer NI contributions was offset during 24/25 with an increase in Small Business relief to offset the increase. This offset the increase from April to Sept 25, but we anticipate the effect of the employer NI contribution increase to affect our bottom line during 2025-2026. Although with a reduction in staffing numbers in line with ratios, the impact may be lessened. Pressure on wages remains a risk with The Dell having to benchmark against other local jobs which are offering higher salaries to staff. Staff undergoing pressure to meet the cost of utilities and other rising costs may look to earn more from other employment, where they can work longer hours and earn more money — this is particularly the case for our qualified staff.
Additional costs are also likely to be incurred through succession planning and the recruitment of qualified staff to meet OFSTED Early Years regulations, and we are having to offer more than market wages and full-time hours to attract staff to fulfil these roles.
The rising costs of food and increases in rent from our host schools to cover their utilities is of consideration. It should be noted as a potential risk that The Labour parties manifesto policy of providing free “breakfast clubs” for children is unknown. This may have a significant impact on the Dells finances if our host schools offer “free” breakfast sessions. Which may affect our bottom line. As schools are under pressure to ensure space is maximised by outsourcing The Dell is having to adapt and be flexible to work in new areas of the school which makes the workload more challenging.
Despite increasing fees again this year by 3% current projections based on numbers of bookings and staffing show The Dell to be forecasting a small loss of around £3K which is predominantlyand employer NIcausedincreases.by the likely wage increases needed to cover future living wage costs
Future Plans
Our current business focus is on trying to retain current contracted numbers and increasing ad hoc capacity - whilst capping expenditure and reducing outgoings where we can.
The Trustees are keen to promote and continue to improve the quality of services provided to our children in the form of a fun and safe place to be with some great activities.
We need to actively promote The Dell to engage parent trustees who can sit on the Committee and provide a steer to the Dell Managers and feedback on service provision.

Benchmarking fees to remain competitive in the area together with careful monitoring of the impact of any future recessionary downturn or inflation on the wider local economy.
Succession planning remains integral for the Dell to be able to meet its Ofsted Registration. Developing the capability of our management team to enable the business to be secure if someone were to leave via recruitment and apprenticeships.
The additional income from ad hoc and holiday clubs is essential to support the overall provision of childcare throughout the year. Therefore, these services need to be actively promoted and marketed.
