The nursery has been required lo make varying fee increases over the past few years. To a¢knOedge the cost of living the board agreed not to rise fee$ 2021-22. Our income is reliant on feelgrant income and we maintain a tight watch on any bad debt position. We continue to work to a tight payment policy and maintain a fee and finance sub group of the Board to review any potential problems with regards to fees not being paid. Our temis and conditions as well as the payment policy have been reviewed so we are now more confident about managing the payment of fees. All parents are to pay either in cash or by stsnding order.

In addition a percentage of parenlslcarers were lo be under 25. IM)ilsl the grants lo the nursery have now finished the nursery does still respond lo the infcial ethos and help parenlslcarers living within the inner city area of Burmanlofts and support those who require childcare support to access education, training or employment. However, to maintain sustainability the nursery does increasingly offer care to some parents who do not fully meet the initial ethos. Our interest is in supporting those parenlslcarers most in need of childcare and this is evidenced by the high percentage of parenlslcarers who have their fees paid through some form of slate support. The nursery provides very important service by helping families Identify sources of subsidy and support so that they can use the nursery. Our level of fees are set at a rale which gives us a financial deficit for the year, the board understand this and can currently absorbed the loss wthin the reserves. We set fees paying dose atlention to what parentsl carers will be able to manage and access through other forms of subsidy and to what we need to do to remain solvent. We continue to have a strong working relationship with outside professionals such as STARS team, SENIT team, SLT team etc. We feel we have been very successful at crealing a positive. stimulating environment, one where we feel the children are able to reach their full potential with staff support and guidance. Vvhen reviewing the aims and objectives of the charity and in planning future activities the trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the eslimaled cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impaimient loss is recognised in nel incomellexpenditurel for the year. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the Impaimient is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed al the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised In net incomellexpendilurel for the year. Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights lo the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the Charity transfers the financial asset and subslanlially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained bul ¢onlrol of the asset has transferred lo another party that is able lo sell the asset in its entirely to an unrelated third paty. Basic financial liabilities Basic finanaal liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised al transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing Iransaclion, where the debt instrument is measured al the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rale of interest. Financial Iiabililies dassified as payable thin one year are not amort15ed. Debt instruments are subsequenuy carried al amortised cost, using the effective interest rale method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-currenl liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequenuy measured al amortised c05t using the effective interest method. Other financial IITabilitses Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according lo the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of ils liabilities. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 1.9 Employee benefits The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. Temiination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed lo lerminale the employment of an employee or to provide lerminalion benefits. 1.10 Retirement benefits Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 13-

Debtors, other than those held al fair value through profil and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment al each reporting end dale. Debtors are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognitlon of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. The impaimient loss is recognised in the income and expenditure account. 1.13 Creditors and Provisions Creditor5 and provisions are recognised where the charity ha5 a present obligation reSu1ng from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors, loans and provisions are nomially recognised al their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Creditors are derecognised when, and only when, obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. Amounts recognised as provisions are best estimates of the consideration required to settle the present obligation al the reporting end dale, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Critical accounting estimates and judgements In the applicatlon of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, eslimales and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other source5. The eslimales and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered lo be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting eslimales are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and ftjlure periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. The Iruslees are of the opinion that there are no material eslimales orjudgements. 14-
