TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT (including Director’s report)

For the year ended 31[st] August 2022

The trustees are pleased to present their annual trustees’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a trustees’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 October 2019)

1. Objectives and Activities

1.1 Objectives

The objectives for which the charity is established are:

To enhance the development and education of children under the age of five years.
To prepare children for the transition to Reception year at school, nominally but not exclusively, at Whalton Primary School.
To provide the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children during out of school hours and holidays.

1.2 Activities

The activities of the charity are:

The education and development of children under five years of age; Before and after school care of local children between the ages of three and thirteen years; and
The provision of holiday clubs for local children between the ages of three and thirteen years.

1.3 Public Benefit Statement

Pre-School and After School at Whalton School (PAWS) delivers a benefit to its users and to the wider public, in the following ways:

Purpose: 1 . to enhance the development and education of children under the age of five in Whalton and the surrounding areas through high quality preschool provision.

The children who attend PAWS are educated to the Early Years curriculum within a safe, inviting setting by staff who are committed to regular training in all aspects of Early Years best practice. The following activities all enhance the preschool experience and help our children develop into broad minded, inquisitive, and confident children.

Our vision, mission and values provide a focus for our activities and reflect our ambitions for our children (pride, courage, thoughtfulness, determination).
Our PAWS manager is now a qualified Forest School professional. This thorough, and enviable, accreditation ensures the highest quality of service and safety in this field.
Our facilities, and efforts to secure an even more appropriate local outdoor space, ensure that the forest school training can be used to its greatest effect.
We are working on a forest school scheme of our own that will provide a clear set of goals and reward structure for children to learn and practice a range of life skills within our natural world.

The children spend every Friday morning in local woodland, which provides a stimulating and healthy environment for learning. We are working towards our bronze Eco-school award.
PAWS celebrates various awareness raising, cultural events, and wellbeing initiatives throughout the year, with themes including literacy, dental care, healthy eating, nature, wildlife, sustainability, etc.
We work hard to keep our facilities interesting and stimulating, with provision for children of all needs. We have spaces for performance, quiet time, reading, crafting, cooking, formal learning, water and sand play, sports, films, gardening and exploring.

We request regular feedback from parents, and we are regularly assessed by a range of education professionals. Our quality of provision is evident in the responses from our parent feedback forms, parent reviews, as well as in the feedback from local early years professionals and from visiting professionals.

Purpose: 2 . to prepare children for transition to Reception, nominally but not exclusively, at Whalton C of E Aided First School.

The children who attend PAWS are introduced to the Reception school setting on a regular basis.

Parents can choose a school dinner for their child to help prepare them for the school lunchtime routine.
PAWS children are regularly invited to spend time with pupils and teachers in school, including story times and social events.
There is a detailed transition timetable for children as they approach Reception. Parents also have the opportunity for meetings with class teachers about any issues they would like to discuss.
PAWS provide any kind of extra support for any children with additional needs, including overseeing multidisciplinary team meetings, liaising with teachers, and completing necessary paperwork.
Children aged 3 and over regularly mix with older children during wraparound care, before and after school and during holiday clubs.

Purpose: 3. to provide high quality opportunities for the care, recreation, and education of the children of Whalton and surrounding areas during out of school hours and holidays.

We run holiday clubs, for which demand continues to grow. We welcome children from other settings and siblings of all ages over three.
Our wraparound care is attended by families from 07.30 to 17:30. We feed children a healthy breakfast, as well as snacks and drinks appropriate to each session.
We have a weekly timetable, and we schedule our activities in advance. But we are very responsive to the interests and abilities of each child, and help our children to structure their own activities to ensure they feel comfortable and occupied throughout the session.

Purpose: 4. to support the wellbeing of families and our wider local community through joint social, environmental and health related opportunities.

PAWS has a strong presence at Whalton Village Show, providing disabled toilet access and a warm and safe space for use throughout the day.
We provide support to any local event, for example, providing the refreshments and related staff for events like the Open Garden Scheme, for which funds are raised both for the scheme and for PAWS.

We spend a great deal of time improving our local environment, for example, with litter picking, sowing seeds, clearing overgrown areas.
We organise events for the whole village, for example, pumpkin trails and quiz nights. We communicate via a village WhatsApp group and a range of parent groups for children of all school years.
Parents are now organising their own social events, between groups of people who would not be familiar with each other without attendance at PAWS.
PAWS stays in close contact with the local church and the Parish Council and our PAWS manager is frequently invited to church, school and village meetings.
We are planning forest school activity days for parents.
Evidence of the public benefit of PAWS and our close relationships with local families and businesses.

1.4 Policy on Grant Making

PAWS do not undertake any grant making activities at this time and as such do not operate a grant making policy.

1.5 Policy on Social Investment

PAWS do not undertake any social investment activities at this time and as such do not operate a social investment policy.

1.6 Contribution by Volunteers

We have not had any contributions from volunteers in the period other than, the committee member’s voluntary contributions, which support the ongoing, general running of PAWS.

2. Achievements and Performance

The hangover from Coronavirus has hampered our financial performance this year, with many of the factors outside of our direct control.

Setting utilisation has changed. Partly as home working, post-pandemic has rooted and parents' work-life balance shifts with it, they're not using the wrap-around care like they did pre-pandemic.

This, coupled with a significant drop in child numbers for preschool at the start of the September term, put the setting on the back foot financially from the beginning of the year.

Several fundraising events/activities that PAWS would have financially benefited from were cancelled, postponed or scaled back, all of which negatively impacted our financial performance.

Increases to private and wrap-around fees were introduced to offset the rising costs passed to PAWS from increases to the national minimum wage, NI and utilities to name a few.

Despite the negatives, the learning team and committee members rose to the challenge, effectively managing the cost base whilst implementing several new initiatives and revenue-driving activities.

We doubled down on 'Forest School' after-school clubs with increased marketing activity. The introduction of 'block bookings' has allowed us to forecast and manage staffing levels appropriately.

Our general marketing activity (active social presence) has undoubtedly been a strong 'buying signal' to parents and helped steadily increase the number of children in the setting over the year, with children now travelling out of Morpeth to attend PAWS.

3. Financial review

PAWS’ principal funding source is private fees received for childcare services provided. Other significant income comes from early years entitlement funding received for our pre-school children.

3.1 Review of the year

The results for the year and the Charitable Company's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.

During the year the Charitable Company had income of £54,161 (2021: £79,071) of which £1,092 was restricted (2021: £2,000) and expenditure of £65,734 (2021: £66,982) of which £6 was restricted (2021: £1,248). There was an operating deficit of £11,573 (2021: surplus of £12,089) of which a surplus of £1,086 was restricted (2021: a surplus of £752).

At 31 August 2022 the Charity had net assets of £25,872 (2021: £37,445) of which £1,838 was restricted (2021: £752).

3.2 Reserves policy

As of the 31 August 2022, we held £24,034 in reserves (2021: £36,693).

The Trustees consider holding in reserves no less than £15,000.00. This level of reserves is prudent for the Charitable Company at this time considering potential liabilities in the event that the charity ceased.

It’s the committees long-term aim to increase the level of reserves held in line with its Reserves Policy to a level, which would provide twelve months operating runway.

Our Reserves Policy is reviewed annually.

3.3 Risk Management

Financial risk policy

This policy outlines the framework for management of financial risk at PAWS preschool, highlighting the responsibility of management and the committee to manage financial risks, and to implement good practice.

Risk management

There are systems in place for the effective management of all aspects of PAWS, including financial management, to ensure that we adhere to legislative requirements and apply best practice. Risk assessment and risk management form a critical part of these systems.

Our risk assessment, our health & safety policy, and our financial risk policy together document the overall PAWS approach to management of risk. Arguably, all risks, whether to do with safety, financial assets or reputation, might have financial implications.

Responsibility

All aspects of risk management are the responsibility of the management and committee to whom all significant matters are escalated.

All PAWS staff and committee are involved and have an important part to play in the identification and management of risk. All staff should be aware of the importance of risk management. There should be formal channels of communication both up and down to identify and manage risks.

Committee members should be aware of the risk to the reputation of PAWS from activities that they may undertake elsewhere.

The establishment of effective financial risk management procedures should not be a one-off event. Financial risk management will become an integral part of management processes considered in association with regular reviews of strategy and objectives.

Financial risks will be reviewed quarterly by senior management and committee to monitor changes and check progress of mitigation measures.

Risks will also be reviewed annually as part of the strategic planning process.

Risk statement

Whilst PAWS is not required to submit financial risk management processes for auditing, it is good practice to submit this policy as part of our Trustees Report, as a statement declaring that all financial risks have been identified, reviewed and managed via appropriate systems.

Risks

Risks could be anything that pose a threat to the achievement of our strategic objectives, major projects or significant activities, or anything that could substantially damage our reputation or undermine the public’s confidence in PAWS.

Options available to us for managing risk are:

Transferring financial consequence – insurance
Avoiding activities
Management/mitigation of risk
Accepting a risk if it cannot be avoided, for example public use of a community building, with steps taken to mitigate identified risks.

Management and committee responsibility (as per our risk assessment document)

Identification of a risk: Where is it and what is it?
What is at risk: people, buildings, income, other assets, reputation?
Assessment of the level of a risk, taking into account likelihood and impact: high, medium, low
Control measures: what do we need to do to mitigate or limit risk?
Monitoring and review: Are processes working and thorough? Can they be improved?

Risk appetite

PAWS takes it’s safeguarding and governance responsibilities seriously. The financial and other risks associated with these areas are great and there is a risk averse approach to these aspects at PAWS. Service delivery is also of great importance, but flexibility is needed in order to stay up to date, respond to feedback and in so doing to try new approaches. We therefore apply a more cautiously open approach to service delivery. Equally, with our reliance on statutory funding, we also need an open and adaptable approach to funding and to working with new partners.

4. Plans for future periods

Preschool age acquisition - Raise awareness of our setting and encourage parents to enroll their children in PAWS Preschool.

After School Club retention - The offering needs to focus on ‘extra curricular activities’ in a bid to attract more children into the setting.

Gain accredited Forest School status . - Once finalised advertising can begin to reinforce our USP in the aim of retaining preschoolers up into Whalton Primary.

Improve our offering to include more Forest School activities - Increase Forest School Preschool days and add additional sessions (toddler group, family days) in line with our Forest School status.

Extend Holiday Club across the summer - Offer holiday club across the six weeks of summer holidays and Easter holidays.

Fundraising Initiatives – Look to raise £20k via three large scale fundraising events spread across the year.

The organisation is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee. The Company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the Charitable Company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of a winding up any member (who is a director) undertakes to contribute to the payment of liabilities, such amount as may be required not exceeding the total of £1.

Recruitment and Appointment of the Board

The Directors of the Company are also Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are also its members. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, at the Annual General Meeting one-third of the Directors, who are subject to retirement by rotation, shall retire. Retiring Directors can be re-appointed at the Annual General Meeting.

Trustees are selected on the basis of specialist skills and commitment to the objectives and aims of the organisation.

7. Statement of Trustee Responsibilities

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company Law 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 charitable company and of incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and 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;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

For the year ended 31 August 2022

I report on the financial statements of Pre-School And After School At Whalton School Limited for the year ended 31 August 2022, which are set out on pages 10 to 19.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
the accounts do not accord with such records; or

• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or

the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

I 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.

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

2 Basis of accounting

2.1 Basis of preparation

These accounts 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 accounts.

The accounts 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 October 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Pre-School And After School At Whalton School Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

2.2 Revenue recognition

The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £24,034 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.

3 Income

3.1 Recognition of income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability

3.2 Offsetting

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.

3.3 Grants and donations

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 and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

3.4 Volunteer Help

The value of volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 August 2022

3.5 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

4 Expenditure and liabilities

4.1 Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

4.2 Charitable activities

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of childcare and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

4.3 Governance and support costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

4.4 Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

4.5 Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

4.6 Provisions for liabilities

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
