Trustees R
ort for the Year
Ended 31 Jul 2024
Th¢ trustees present iheir annual report ivith the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 July
2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objective of the company under review is to advance the education of children below ihe compulsory
School age by the provision of a play centre for such children.
The Board of Trustees confllTh that the), have ¢oinplied with their duty in Scclion 4 of the Chariiies Act 2006
lo have due regard io public benefii guidance by the Charity Commission for England & Wales.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFOiiMANCE
Broadlands began the academic year in a oood posil&on in temis of occupancs. Tuesdays, Thursda)Is. and
Fridays were alniost full, with a good balance of Preschool and Rising J's. The Monday and Wednesda),
sessions were slightly quieter. but numbers were siill healihy. The 2023124 year ended with the setting ￿1]
on all days besides a Monday and Wednesday (where only a couple of spaces were available). Bi'oad12nds
is popular with the local community and continues to receive a lot of interest frorn local families for places.
The setting hosted Successful Christmas fair and parents, social which has helped to bring the community
together. We have continued the successful PE sessions / multi-skills ￿tIvIty session which is very popular
among children and is held three times a fortnight.
Statring hL8 been the main area of challenge due to the pre-school tnanaoer neLty]ing to slep back for family
commitments. Recruitmenr of slaff and a replacem¢nt manager wa5 the main area of focus for rhe comtnitlee
during 2023124 with successfibl rerruilment of Th'o part lime play workers. From July. the pre-school InanageT
was able to return whicb was great news for the setting and we move into 2024125 in a much stronger position.
RESERVES AND FtNANCIAL REVIEW
Financial performanc¢ of Broadlapds in 2023n4 was strong with a net profit of £22:484. Staff costs were
the largest outlay at £90,224 for the year but were redtsced due to the absence of a manager for a number of
months.
During the veay we've made improvements to the settinu by iRstallin¥ a play bus in the garden P&nd upgrading
the surface of the outdooT play area around it. We haye also re-laid the garden path and installed a sun sail
to allow the children to plav outsid¢ with more shade available. This has been slightly less success￿] than
hoped for, so will be upgraded in 2024n5.
Sthff salaries were raised by 50/0 from ISI April 2024 to reflect the continued commiiment to rewarding our
valued siaff.
