Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The trust was established to provide funds for the advancement of lifelong education of the pupils of Minsthorpe Academy Trust and the community that it serves and to provide or assist in the provision of such facilities or items (not provided from statutory funds) as the trustees shall in consultation with the Governors and Trustees of the Academy Trust from time to time determine.
The Trust's main objective for the year was the continuing development of its childcare nursery services.
This objective was met by:
Reviewing the fees charged for providing nursery care to ensure they remain competative.
Ensuring all local authority grants were claimed promptly to assist with covering the day to day running costs of its operations.
Ensuring donations were received from the Trust's wholly - owned subsidiary company, T & C C Limited in a tax efficient manner.
Public benefit
The principal public benefit delivered by the Charity is the provision of high - quality nursery care and education to the local children of the community it serves.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales in determining the activities undertaken by the charity. Throughout this Annual Report the Trustees seek to demonstrate that the Charity's aims and objectives are for the public benefit.
Grant making policies
Grants are made at the discretion of the Trustees.
Achievements and performance
The take up of nursery places continued to recover following the Covid 19 pandemic. The average take up of nursery places increased by 20% from 48% capacity in 2021 to 68% capacity in 2022. The trustees are confident that take up will continue to improve and return to pre - pandemic levels in 2023.

Financial review
The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 8.
TOTAL INCOME
The total income of the charity in the year was £489,507 (2021 - £394,162).
FEE INCOME
Most of the charity's income in 2022 was obtained from fees charged for the provision of nursery care and amounted to £345,575 (70% of total income) compared to £257,464 in 2021 (65% of total income). The charity continued its strong recovery from the Covid 19 pandemic during the year with fee income increasing by 34% compared to last year as a result of the number of places taken up increasing by 20% following the full easing of government lockdown measures in August 2021. Fees charged for full and part time places were also increased in May 2021 and June 2022.
GRANT INCOME
The charity received £143,932 (30% of total income) from grant funding (2021 - £135,881 - 35% of total income). Wakefield Metropolitan District Council NEG grants amounted to £143,932 (2021 - £128,262) and their use is restricted to supporting the provision of nursery care and are therefore shown as restricted funds in the Statement of Financial Activities. Last year, the charity also received £4,300 from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council in the form of a general business support grant and £3,319 under the UK government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which were shown as unrestricted funds.
TOTAL EXPENDITURE
The total expenditure of the charity in the year was £521,459 (2021 - £451,288) and comprised of: Staff costs - £454,063 (2021 - £386,545)
Support and governance costs - £67,396 (2021 - £64,743)
Staff costs increased by £67,518 (17%) and represented 87% of total expenditure (2021 - 85%). The average number of employees of the charity increased from 18 in 2021 to 21 in 2022. Additional cover was required to cover employees on maternity and sick leave and deputies were paid overtime to cover staff shortages. Pay arrears covering the period April 2021 to December 2021 were also paid in March 2022
Support and governance costs increased by £2,653 (4%) as a result of modest increases in food and general resources costs associated with the increase in the take up of nursery places. Establishment costs benefited from a £1,200 electricity refund received in May 2022 following a change in supplier.
Expenditure continues to be highly managed and remains focussed on delivering the charity's charitable objectives.
TRANSFERS BETWEEN FUNDS
The restricted fund balance has been reduced by £164,380 (2021 - £148,710) represented by the depreciation charged on the assets financed by restricted grants and grants received from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council in support of the nursery care activities provided by the charity.
NET POSITION
During the year total expenditure exceeded total income by £31,952 (2021 - £57,126). The shortfall was covered by combined restricted and unrestricted funds funds brought forward of £256,756, leaving the charity with combined restricted and unrestricted funds of £224,804 at 30 September 2022 as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

I report in respect of my examination of the Minsthorpe Charitable 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.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
Since Minsthorpe Charitable Trust's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing group accounts
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption available under the Charities Act 2011 not to prepare consolidated (group) accounts on the grounds that the gross income of the group is below the threshold set by the Act.
Judgements
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reognised in those financial statements. The following judgement and estimate is considered by the Trustees to have the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the Financial Statements. Useful Economic Life: The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and machinery is sensitive to change in estimated useful economic lives and residual value of assets. These are reassessed annually and amended where necessary to reflect current circumstances.

Minsthorpe Charitable Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2022 (continued)
Taxation
The Trustees consider that the exemption from taxation set out in the Income Tax Act 2007 and the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 are met and, therefore, no provision is made for taxation.
Tangible fixed assets
Assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Where tangible fixed assets have been acquired with the aid of specific grants, either from the government or from the private sector, they are included in the Balance Sheet at cost and depreciated over their expected useful economic life. The related grants are credited to a restricted fund in the Statement of Financial Activities and carried forward in the Balance Sheet. Depreciation on such assets is charged to the restricted fund in the statement of Financial Activities so as to reduce the fund over the useful economic life of the related asset on a basis consistent with the charity's depreciation policy.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Buildings 5% straight line basis Plant and equipment 20% straight line basis
Fixed asset investments
Investment in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Grant funds received from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council are initially shown as restricted funds in the Statement of financial Activities before being transferred to unrestricted funds to support the expenditure incurred on child care services provided by the charity .
Hire purchase and finance leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Financial instruments
Classification
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows:
Financial assets - trade debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at cost.
Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities - accruals are financial instruments and are measured at cost. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.

Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The trust was established to provide funds for the advancement of lifelong education of the pupils of Minsthorpe Academy Trust and the community that it serves and to provide or assist in the provision of such facilities or items (not provided from statutory funds) as the trustees shall in consultation with the Governors and Trustees of the Academy Trust from time to time determine.
The Trust's main objective for the year was the continuing development of its childcare nursery services.
This objective was met by:
Reviewing the fees charged for providing nursery care to ensure they remain competative.
Ensuring all local authority grants were claimed promptly to assist with covering the day to day running costs of its operations.
Ensuring donations were received from the Trust's wholly - owned subsidiary company, T & C C Limited in a tax efficient manner.
Public benefit
The principal public benefit delivered by the Charity is the provision of high - quality nursery care and education to the local children of the community it serves.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales in determining the activities undertaken by the charity. Throughout this Annual Report the Trustees seek to demonstrate that the Charity's aims and objectives are for the public benefit.
Grant making policies
Grants are made at the discretion of the Trustees.
Achievements and performance
The take up of nursery places continued to recover following the Covid 19 pandemic. The average take up of nursery places increased by 20% from 48% capacity in 2021 to 68% capacity in 2022. The trustees are confident that take up will continue to improve and return to pre - pandemic levels in 2023.

Financial review
The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 8.
TOTAL INCOME
The total income of the charity in the year was £489,507 (2021 - £394,162).
FEE INCOME
Most of the charity's income in 2022 was obtained from fees charged for the provision of nursery care and amounted to £345,575 (70% of total income) compared to £257,464 in 2021 (65% of total income). The charity continued its strong recovery from the Covid 19 pandemic during the year with fee income increasing by 34% compared to last year as a result of the number of places taken up increasing by 20% following the full easing of government lockdown measures in August 2021. Fees charged for full and part time places were also increased in May 2021 and June 2022.
GRANT INCOME
The charity received £143,932 (30% of total income) from grant funding (2021 - £135,881 - 35% of total income). Wakefield Metropolitan District Council NEG grants amounted to £143,932 (2021 - £128,262) and their use is restricted to supporting the provision of nursery care and are therefore shown as restricted funds in the Statement of Financial Activities. Last year, the charity also received £4,300 from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council in the form of a general business support grant and £3,319 under the UK government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which were shown as unrestricted funds.
TOTAL EXPENDITURE
The total expenditure of the charity in the year was £521,459 (2021 - £451,288) and comprised of: Staff costs - £454,063 (2021 - £386,545)
Support and governance costs - £67,396 (2021 - £64,743)
Staff costs increased by £67,518 (17%) and represented 87% of total expenditure (2021 - 85%). The average number of employees of the charity increased from 18 in 2021 to 21 in 2022. Additional cover was required to cover employees on maternity and sick leave and deputies were paid overtime to cover staff shortages. Pay arrears covering the period April 2021 to December 2021 were also paid in March 2022
Support and governance costs increased by £2,653 (4%) as a result of modest increases in food and general resources costs associated with the increase in the take up of nursery places. Establishment costs benefited from a £1,200 electricity refund received in May 2022 following a change in supplier.
Expenditure continues to be highly managed and remains focussed on delivering the charity's charitable objectives.
TRANSFERS BETWEEN FUNDS
The restricted fund balance has been reduced by £164,380 (2021 - £148,710) represented by the depreciation charged on the assets financed by restricted grants and grants received from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council in support of the nursery care activities provided by the charity.
NET POSITION
During the year total expenditure exceeded total income by £31,952 (2021 - £57,126). The shortfall was covered by combined restricted and unrestricted funds funds brought forward of £256,756, leaving the charity with combined restricted and unrestricted funds of £224,804 at 30 September 2022 as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Minsthorpe Charitable Trust
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022 which are set out on pages 8 to 22.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of Minsthorpe Charitable Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Minsthorpe Charitable 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.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
Since Minsthorpe Charitable Trust's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of Minsthorpe Charitable Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2022
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing group accounts
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption available under the Charities Act 2011 not to prepare consolidated (group) accounts on the grounds that the gross income of the group is below the threshold set by the Act.
Judgements
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reognised in those financial statements. The following judgement and estimate is considered by the Trustees to have the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the Financial Statements. Useful Economic Life: The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and machinery is sensitive to change in estimated useful economic lives and residual value of assets. These are reassessed annually and amended where necessary to reflect current circumstances.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2022 (continued)
Income and endowments
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Grants received from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council for the year are shown as restricted funds in the Statement of Financial Activities. Grants received from the Wakefield Metropolitan District Council and UK government in respect of general business support and the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme are shown as unrestricted funds in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Deferred income
Fees received in advance of the child care services to be provided are deferred and included in creditors.
Other trading activities
Income from fund raising activities is recognised in the period it is receivable and shown as unrestricted funds in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Charitable activities
Fees received from the provision of child care services is recognised in the period it is receivable and shown as unrestricted funds in the Statement of Financial Activities.
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. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is classified by type in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Charitable activities
These are costs incurred on the charity's child care operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity.
Grant expenditure
Discretionary grants are paid on an ad-hoc basis to Minsthorpe Academy Trust.
Grants payable are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.
Liabilities relating to grants payable are recognised once the Charity is irrecoverably committed to the provision of the grant.
Governance costs
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the preparation and independent examination of the Charity's statutory accounts and its compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
Page 11
Minsthorpe Charitable Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2022 (continued)
Taxation
The Trustees consider that the exemption from taxation set out in the Income Tax Act 2007 and the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 are met and, therefore, no provision is made for taxation.
Tangible fixed assets
Assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Where tangible fixed assets have been acquired with the aid of specific grants, either from the government or from the private sector, they are included in the Balance Sheet at cost and depreciated over their expected useful economic life. The related grants are credited to a restricted fund in the Statement of Financial Activities and carried forward in the Balance Sheet. Depreciation on such assets is charged to the restricted fund in the statement of Financial Activities so as to reduce the fund over the useful economic life of the related asset on a basis consistent with the charity's depreciation policy.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Buildings 5% straight line basis Plant and equipment 20% straight line basis
Fixed asset investments
Investment in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Grant funds received from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council are initially shown as restricted funds in the Statement of financial Activities before being transferred to unrestricted funds to support the expenditure incurred on child care services provided by the charity .
Hire purchase and finance leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Financial instruments
Classification
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows:
Financial assets - trade debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at cost.
Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities - accruals are financial instruments and are measured at cost. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.

Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The trust was established to provide funds for the advancement of lifelong education of the pupils of Minsthorpe Academy Trust and the community that it serves and to provide or assist in the provision of such facilities or items (not provided from statutory funds) as the trustees shall in consultation with the Governors and Trustees of the Academy Trust from time to time determine.
The Trust's main objective for the year was the continuing development of its childcare nursery services.
This objective was met by:
Reviewing the fees charged for providing nursery care to ensure they remain competative.
Ensuring all local authority grants were claimed promptly to assist with covering the day to day running costs of its operations.
Ensuring donations were received from the Trust's wholly - owned subsidiary company, T & C C Limited in a tax efficient manner.
Public benefit
The principal public benefit delivered by the Charity is the provision of high - quality nursery care and education to the local children of the community it serves.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales in determining the activities undertaken by the charity. Throughout this Annual Report the Trustees seek to demonstrate that the Charity's aims and objectives are for the public benefit.
Grant making policies
Grants are made at the discretion of the Trustees.
Achievements and performance
The take up of nursery places continued to recover following the Covid 19 pandemic. The average take up of nursery places increased by 20% from 48% capacity in 2021 to 68% capacity in 2022. The trustees are confident that take up will continue to improve and return to pre - pandemic levels in 2023.

Financial review
The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 8.
TOTAL INCOME
The total income of the charity in the year was £489,507 (2021 - £394,162).
FEE INCOME
Most of the charity's income in 2022 was obtained from fees charged for the provision of nursery care and amounted to £345,575 (70% of total income) compared to £257,464 in 2021 (65% of total income). The charity continued its strong recovery from the Covid 19 pandemic during the year with fee income increasing by 34% compared to last year as a result of the number of places taken up increasing by 20% following the full easing of government lockdown measures in August 2021. Fees charged for full and part time places were also increased in May 2021 and June 2022.
GRANT INCOME
The charity received £143,932 (30% of total income) from grant funding (2021 - £135,881 - 35% of total income). Wakefield Metropolitan District Council NEG grants amounted to £143,932 (2021 - £128,262) and their use is restricted to supporting the provision of nursery care and are therefore shown as restricted funds in the Statement of Financial Activities. Last year, the charity also received £4,300 from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council in the form of a general business support grant and £3,319 under the UK government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme which were shown as unrestricted funds.
TOTAL EXPENDITURE
The total expenditure of the charity in the year was £521,459 (2021 - £451,288) and comprised of: Staff costs - £454,063 (2021 - £386,545)
Support and governance costs - £67,396 (2021 - £64,743)
Staff costs increased by £67,518 (17%) and represented 87% of total expenditure (2021 - 85%). The average number of employees of the charity increased from 18 in 2021 to 21 in 2022. Additional cover was required to cover employees on maternity and sick leave and deputies were paid overtime to cover staff shortages. Pay arrears covering the period April 2021 to December 2021 were also paid in March 2022
Support and governance costs increased by £2,653 (4%) as a result of modest increases in food and general resources costs associated with the increase in the take up of nursery places. Establishment costs benefited from a £1,200 electricity refund received in May 2022 following a change in supplier.
Expenditure continues to be highly managed and remains focussed on delivering the charity's charitable objectives.
TRANSFERS BETWEEN FUNDS
The restricted fund balance has been reduced by £164,380 (2021 - £148,710) represented by the depreciation charged on the assets financed by restricted grants and grants received from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council in support of the nursery care activities provided by the charity.
NET POSITION
During the year total expenditure exceeded total income by £31,952 (2021 - £57,126). The shortfall was covered by combined restricted and unrestricted funds funds brought forward of £256,756, leaving the charity with combined restricted and unrestricted funds of £224,804 at 30 September 2022 as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.

-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

Statement of compliance
The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing group accounts
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption available under the Charities Act 2011 not to prepare consolidated (group) accounts on the grounds that the gross income of the group is below the threshold set by the Act.
Judgements
In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reognised in those financial statements. The following judgement and estimate is considered by the Trustees to have the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the Financial Statements. Useful Economic Life: The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and machinery is sensitive to change in estimated useful economic lives and residual value of assets. These are reassessed annually and amended where necessary to reflect current circumstances.

Grants payable are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.
Liabilities relating to grants payable are recognised once the Charity is irrecoverably committed to the provision of the grant.
Governance costs
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the preparation and independent examination of the Charity's statutory accounts and its compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Taxation
The Trustees consider that the exemption from taxation set out in the Income Tax Act 2007 and the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 are met and, therefore, no provision is made for taxation.
Tangible fixed assets
Assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised as tangible fixed assets and are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Where tangible fixed assets have been acquired with the aid of specific grants, either from the government or from the private sector, they are included in the Balance Sheet at cost and depreciated over their expected useful economic life. The related grants are credited to a restricted fund in the Statement of Financial Activities and carried forward in the Balance Sheet. Depreciation on such assets is charged to the restricted fund in the statement of Financial Activities so as to reduce the fund over the useful economic life of the related asset on a basis consistent with the charity's depreciation policy.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Buildings 5% straight line basis Plant and equipment 20% straight line basis
Fixed asset investments
Investment in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Grant funds received from Wakefield Metropolitan District Council are initially shown as restricted funds in the Statement of financial Activities before being transferred to unrestricted funds to support the expenditure incurred on child care services provided by the charity .
Hire purchase and finance leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Financial instruments
Classification
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows:
Financial assets - trade debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at cost.
Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities - accruals are financial instruments and are measured at cost. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
