## **Achievements and Performance**

|---|---|---|
|Summary of the<br>main<br>achievements of<br>the charity,<br>identifying the<br>difference the<br>charity’s work has<br>made to the<br>circumstances of<br>its beneficiaries<br>and any wider<br>benefits to society<br>as a whole.|Para 1.20|The main focus as we started the 2019-20 year was to<br>continue to raise the profile of Merry Go Round within the<br>local community and to increase numbers of children<br>attending the setting.  In addition, we set out to even out the<br>balance of different ages of children registered at any one<br>time, to minimise the impact a large proportion of children<br>leaving the setting at the same time to move on to Primary<br>education has had in previous years.  As the year<br>progressed, as was the case for many Early Years settings,<br>our attention turned to ensuring that the preschool could<br>survive the enormous financial challenge that came with the<br>COVID-19 pandemic, and in supporting our children and<br>families, both within the setting and when they were at<br>home during the initial lockdown.<br>The main achievements throughout the year were:<br>●<br>To generate interest in Merry Go Round as an Early<br>Years offering to children and families within the<br>local community. We were able to secure a number<br>of requests for increased hours for our existing<br>children, plus several new enquiries for new starters.<br>●<br>By the end of the financial year we had managed to<br>secure an additional 9 children to start in September<br>and others booked to start later in the year once<br>they had turned 2. In addition to this, many of the<br>existing children increased their hours, bringing the<br>booked hours up from 170 at the end of the year to<br>260 for the start of the next, an increase of 53%.<br>This takes into account several children leaving the<br>setting to move on to Primary school.|





|||●<br>COVID-19 resulted in closure for a number of weeks<br>and uncertainty for some families about returning<br>once the setting was able to reopen under the<br>Government’s guidance. Despite that we were able<br>to welcome back a significant proportion of children<br>with very successful results, still working within the<br>aims and ethos of the charity as much as possible.<br>●<br>With social distancing restrictions in place for a<br>significant proportion of the year many of our<br>planned fundraising events were cancelled, at a time<br>that we most needed them!  The committee,<br>preschool parents and members of the local<br>community and beyond joined together in our<br>‘Challenge 4000’ fundraiser: children, parents and<br>even grandparents set about to challenge<br>themselves to complete 4000 of anything and raised<br>over £4000.<br>●<br>Regular check-ins and support were provided to<br>parents whilst away from the setting.  Initially this<br>was done by the preschool Manager and continued<br>by the Chair once the Manager was on furlough.<br>●<br>When the setting reopened we were successfully<br>able to focus our attention on offering more sessions<br>in the outdoors through our weekly Forest School<br>and by utilising our incredible preschool garden that<br>was created last year.  This fit perfectly within our<br>aim to provide regular opportunities for learning in<br>the outdoors, at the same time as making it easier<br>for us to implement the appropriate guidelines for<br>bubbles and social distancing.|

## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|Income for the year was £41,120, which<br>included £5216 generated from fundraising<br>activities, £2500 in donations, £2500|
|---|---|---|





||awarded through the local council’s<br>Coronavirus grant scheme, and £2394<br>through HMRC’s job retention scheme.<br>Income was significantly reduced towards<br>the end of the year due to a reduction in<br>children returning after lockdown, or hours<br>being reduced due to less of a public need<br>with parents mostly at home and / or<br>limitations on the number of children we<br>could accommodate in the setting at any<br>given time.  Additionally, a lack of parental<br>access to the school site where the<br>preschool is based, and anxiety about<br>children starting in a new setting<br>post-lockdown, contributed to a reduction in<br>the number of new starters which had a<br>negative impact on our income for that<br>period.<br>Costs associated with our charitable<br>activities totalled £44,397 resulting in an<br>overall loss for the year of £3,277.  With<br>lower than normal numbers of children<br>attending sessions and all the challenges<br>that the year had brought it was considered<br>a relatively small loss, and the trustees were<br>confident that it could be quite quickly<br>recovered once restrictions lifted and the<br>new financial year began.  The use of the<br>reserves fund was approved by the trustees<br>to help with short-term cash flow but in the<br>end this was not required.<br>Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held<br>Para 1.22<br>Reserves are held in order to meet<br>unplanned, short-term financial needs<br>and as an emergency redundancy fund.

The trustees agreed that<br>the continuation of the provision was for the<br>benefit of our local community’s families and<br>children, and a plan was put in place to<br>further increase the profile of the setting<br>within the local community in order to secure<br>its future.  As a result there was a significant<br>increase in new starter enquiries / bookings,<br>and future financial forecasts look extremely<br>positive: the largest forecasted profit in the<br>last 10 years or more.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to **examiner's statement** my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the **Volunteer help** trustees’ annual report. **Investment income** This is included in the accounts when receivable. **Investment gains and losses** This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. **EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. **Governance costs** Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. **Grants with performance** Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service **conditions** or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. **Grants payable without** These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are **performance conditions** no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. **Support Costs** Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. **ASSETS Tangible fixed assets for use** These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500.  They **by charity** are valued at cost or a reasonable value on receipt. **Investments** Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end.  Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value. **Stocks and work in progress** These are valued at the lower of cost or market value.
