TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of The Beehive Childcare Group for the year 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2024.
Objectives and Activities
a. Policies and objectives
The objects of the charity are:
-
To provide the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation, and education of children below compulsory school age and
-
To provide the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation, and education of children of school age, out of school hours and
-
To advance the education and training of persons in the provision of such care, education, and recreational facilities.
b. Main activities undertaken to further the charity’s purposes for the public benefit
The academic year of 2023/2024 was another busy year for Beehive
In December we took part in the Early Talk Boost programme which provided us with another option for supporting children with their speech and language. In March we applied for two separate Quality and Inclusion grants. The first was to create a sensory room at our Jubilee setting which has been well received by the children, and the second grant was to enable us to extend our After School Club times to 6pm. This grant also included the purchase of additional resources, including a large amount of den building equipment. Both of our settings were visited by Ofsted this year, with Jubilee having their first ever inspection in March, and Kinchen hall being inspected in April. Both settings received an overall rating of GOOD which we are all very proud of.
Staff continued to upskill and took advantage of free training that remained available through Early Years. This included domestic and honour-based abuse training for all staff, Norfolk Graded Care Profile Training, Safeguarding, Food Hygiene, and Government Prevent Training.
The staff were also able to access additional free training through the Early Years Alliance. Tina continued to attend regular Leaders and Managers meetings, and Emma Ede continued to attend the regular SendCo Networks. Mackenzie started her level 2 in Childcare qualification, and both Malcolm and Clare attended Safeguarding for Committees training.
Throughout the year we continued to welcome our families in for different events, including a Christmas performance, a craft morning, den building, our Christmas Fayre, Sports Day, an end of year family picnic, and for the school leaver’s Performance and Graduation at the end of the year. The children enjoyed many other activities throughout the year such as learning about bees for World Bee Day, visits from alpacas, Minidonks, Mini Monsters, and the local firemen with their fire engine. Students from City College have also continued to visit us on a regular basis to work with the children as part of their own studies. We celebrated lots of different occasions throughout the year, with visits from our local vicar, Patrick, and some of our parents to read stories to the children during Storytelling Week, a sports week, a Christmas party and a visit from Santa. The children continued to enjoy doing yoga every morning at Beehive, and at the end of May we turned the Hive room into a beach for pre-school and then Holiday Club at Kinchen Hall. This included lots of sand, paddling pools and a visit from the ice-cream man. The children in the Hive also became published authors by entering the My First Poem competition, where all submitted entries were collated into a book.
As a setting we continued to enjoy activities in our wider community by collecting donations for Harvest Festival, creating a large fish artwork for a festival at Christ Church, making regular trips with small groups of children to the local library, and taking our school leavers on trips throughout the year, which included trips to the theatre, Notcutts, Pets at Home, and the Plantation Gardens. We continued to be part of the Holiday Activity and Food programme (HAF) providing support to the most vulnerable families over the summer and Easter holidays, by providing funded sessions and a packed lunch. We have also supported other charities this year. We raised money for Save the Children during our Christmas Jumper Week and donated food to the local food banks as part of our Harvest Festival celebrations.
Achievements and performance
Throughout the year 2023/2024 Beehive provided childcare for a total of 225 children across all of its provisions. This is broken down as follows: 126 pre-school families, 75 Breakfast/After School Club children, and 24 Holiday Club only families. Of our pre-school families 27 children were eligible for 2-year funding for disadvantaged children, 5 children were eligible for the new 2-year-old, working family funding which launched in April 2024, and 17 families claimed the extended 30 hours funding. Our services are accessed by a variety of families with a diverse mixture of ethnicity and backgrounds. 18% of our children had English as an additional language which matched the numbers for last year. First languages included Polish, Pakistan, Arabic, Tamil, Lithuanian, Albanian, Malayalam, Bengali, Czech, French, Croatian, Portuguese, Nepali, Saudi, Shona, Sinalese, Serbian, Greek, Trigain, Indian, Teluqu, Yoruban, Gujarati, Hindu, Kannada, Filipino, and Italian.
The Manager and Room Leaders have continued to meet on a weekly basis to discuss any matters that arise and to continue to improve the setting. We have continued to use a local, self-employed gardener/handy man to take care of jobs at Beehive, and Jacqui Webb has continued to be our self-employed bookkeeper.
Throughout the year the Management Team have continued to review all policies and procedures, as well as financial matters. In April 2024 a fee increase was introduced to ensure that we remained financially viable as the minimum wage increased.
Kinchen Hall continued to be a venue available for the local community to hire, and was used for both the local and general elections, as well as being booked 14 times over the course of the year. Sadly this is a 30% drop on last year as less people have hired the hall for birthday celebrations. The Management Team have continued to meet regularly with the Parish Council, to manage the hall and to liaise on repairs and improvements. This year we have cleared the car park to make it a more open and safe space, and we have added a bench and some planters. The Parish Council has carried out repairs to the water heater and replaced the windows in the toilets.
The Fundraising team had a good year raising a grand total of £823, however this was a 38% decrease on the previous year. The funds were raised through a variety of means, including pre-school photos, raffles, the Christmas fayre, Christmas card orders, the selling of second-hand uniform and clothes, and an end of year party.
The trustees would like to thank all our staff for their hard work during the year. Also, many thanks to our volunteers for supporting us. We wish all the best to the children leaving the setting to attend school in September and look forward to seeing some of them again in our Out of School clubs. As this 2023–2024-year ends, we look forward to another happy and successful year in 2024-2025.

THE BEEHIVE CHILDCARE GROUP
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2024
1. Accounting Policies
(a) Basis of Preparation
The charity is a public benefit entity and therefore the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
(b) Going Concern
The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis and there are no material uncertainties that make the going concern assumption doubtful.
(c) Income
Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (sofa) when:
-
The charity becomes entitled to the resources
-
it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
(d) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
(d) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1,000. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:
Office equipment 25% reducing balance Property improvements 10% straight line
(e) Interest Receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity, this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
(f) Operating Leases
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

THE BEEHIVE CHILDCARE GROUP
Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2024
(g) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised as the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid, net of any trade discount due.
(h) Cash at Bank in Hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition, or opening of the deposit, or similar account.
(i) Liabilities and Provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event. It is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts
(j) 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.
(k) Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.
(l) Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees, to further the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designed for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
