CRANK NURSERY LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02913840)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

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 2021. 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 charity's object and its principle activity is to utilise it's resources to benefit the public in such a way as to advance the education of children below and of compulsory school age by the provision of either or both day-care nursery facilities and Nursery School for such children. The children are mainly but not exclusively resident in Crank and the Rainford area of St. Helens. The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. The remaining staff are employed in the nursery.

In achieving these objectives and aims, the Trustees have identified the following specific purposes and value:

Organisational Purpose - Supporting children to be active citizens

Organisational Values - Seeing the possibilities to make a positive difference

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

The trustees are pleased to report a successful year and staff turnover has remained low.

Financial review

From a financial point of view the results for the year show a deficit of £4,372 compared to a deficit for the previous year of £35,469. The main reasons for this deficit are the temporary closure of the Nursery and temporary room closures due to Covid-19 resulting in loss of fees / income. As indicated in previous reports, the trustees have continued to operate an on-going programme of property maintenance.

Progress of the charity against its objective

We have supported several local charities during the year, including Willowbrook Hospice, Crank Village Community Association, Tear drops, Children in Need and Rainford / Crank in Bloom.

Key performance indicators

  1. Nursery has been awarded the highest possible score of 5 stars from both the Environmental Health and St Helens MBC scores on the doors and achieved the Millies Mark Award.

  2. Positive feedback and comments from parents, local schools and the Local Authority Early Years team.

Significant Positive and Negative factors that have affected the nursery

The Covid-19 pandemic has created challenges but positive cases amongst staff and children have remained low. For a period of time only key worker children were allowed to attend Nursery so attendance was reduced. Nursery utilised the furlough scheme to offset this.

Reserves Policy

The trustees have reviewed the Charity's need for reserves in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have issued a detailed Reserves Policy. The charity has designated funds set aside for anticipated future expenditure as detailed in note 18 to the accounts. The trustees believe that in addition to known commitments, it is good financial practice to hold up to six months running costs in reserve, given that the charity's income could fluctuate.

An analysis of reserves at 31 March 2021 reveals that of total reserves of £288,695, £121,000 was held as designated funds leaving £167,695 as unrestricted general funds. This represents approximately 3 months running costs for the nursery.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The trustees consider the major strategic, business and operational risks that the charity faces each year when considering budgets and business plans. Systems have been developed to monitor and control these risks to mitigate any impact that the risks may have in the future.

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the temporary closure of Nursery shortly before the year end of March 2020. The closure lasted for several weeks and was followed by a phased reopening. The pandemic has resulted in changes to working patterns which has successfully minimised the transition of the virus.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

STRATEGIC REPORT

Key management personnel

The Trustees consider the key management personnel to be the management team. The remuneration of the key management personnel is set by the trustees with reference to available benchmarks of competitor pay.

Future plans

Plans for the future include the continuing maintenance and improvement of the nursery, the main purpose to improve the facilities. The refurbishment of the outside play area is also being considered as this was postponed due to the pandemic. All staff will continue to keep their training up to date, including Paediatric first aid and Safeguarding.

We are continually striving to achieve the best possible outcome for the children by providing qualified and experienced staff and maintaining the purchase of good quality resources and equipment.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Crank Nursery is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Overall direction and supervision of the activities of the Association is exercised by a Management Committee of 5 Directors including the officers (Chair: Mrs BE Brighouse and Company Secretary: Mrs S. Roper). The day to day running of the Nursery is undertaken by Mrs Sarah Morgan, Manager.

METHOD, APPOINTMENT, INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF TRUSTEES

All of the trustees are respected members of the local community and understand the ethos of our charity. The trustees have a background in business and/or working with children and have current enhanced DBS checks.

New trustees must be nominated by an existing member of the Nursery Board.

Potential new trustees will be invited for an informal visit to the Nursery and to meet the Board. If the Board deem the candidate suitable, the next stage in the procedure would be for them to be invited for an interview with the Board and the Nursery Manager. Following the interview a vote will be held and if agreed by a majority of the Board the candidate will be invited to join the Board as a Trustee.

Training of the Trustees is an ongoing process governed by the needs of the Nursery.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

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.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability of Crank Nursery Limited to continue as a going concern.

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 reliably measured.

Income from Nursery fees are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: -the charity becomes entitles to the fees and any conditions for receipt are met, -the trustees are reasonably certain they will receive it; and -the trustees are reasonably certain that the value can be reliably measured

Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Interest on deposit account funds held is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity which is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

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. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributable to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are capitalised at cost, where acquired or management's approximate valuation of cost where donated.

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost, less an estimated residual value, or all fixed assets evenly over their expected economic useful lives on a reducing balance basis as follows:-

Classroom equipment - 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 33% on reducing balance

The need for any impairment of a fixed asset write-down is considered if there is concern over the carrying value of an asset and is assessed by comparing that carrying value against the value in use or realisable value of the asset when appropriate.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Designated funds have been established out of the charity's unrestricted general fund to cover anticipated future expenditure. These funds are being built up in a reserve account with the charity's bankers.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the periods of the leases.

Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The company operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.

Going concern

The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the temporary closure of the Nursery during the year. The closure lasted for several weeks and was followed by a phased reopening resulting in a total loss of income for a period. The charity has received support from various local and national government schemes in order to assist the organisation through these difficult times.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability of Crank Nursery Limited to continue as a going concern.

Grants

Government grants are recognised when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received and that all related conditions will be met, usually on submission of a valid claim for payment. Grants of a revenue nature are credited to income so as to match them with the expenditure to which they relate.
