varying fee increases over the past few years. To a¢knO￿edge 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.

of the work of the nursery.

How our activities deliver public benefit
Burmanlofts Community Nursery, when established, was restricted by ils funding sources lo provide childcare to
parent51carers of children in the Bumanlofts area of Leeds lan identified area of social di58dvanlagel. 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.

establishment of a 'good' rating in March 2022.
Governmental Legislation change around 2 year old provision which would affect our seNice considerably. We
need to manage this risk in the long term.
Much of our capacity and intake depends on our excellent reputation within the community. As a nursery and a

TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
To review the finanaal projections as the nursery is 100 /0 reliant on income from fees and grants.
The Manager has worked within the budget sel and where there has been variance the Board has been
made aware and mitigated by other budget managements. The nursery has been required lo make
varying fee increases over the past few years. To a¢knO￿edge 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.
To position the nursery as a key player within the childcare agenda in Leeds.
The Manager has continued lo attend all local nelwork meetings and Children's Setvices meetings
ntributing lo the developing agenda and gaining infomiation to aid fonNard planning.
The nursery was the subject of an Ofsted inspection in March 2022 and was rated good" The report
was very complimentary and the board and staff were happy with this outcome as a fair representation
of the work of the nursery.
The Manager has continued lo actively develop new contacts and alliances lo help the nursery's position
in the local childcare matkel. The board is majoring on ways to ensurè the nursery's position as a sland-
alone organisation.
To maintain occupancy levels al 90% .
The nursery has continued lo be promoted by word of mouth and active management of the waf(ing list.
The nursery reconfirmed the OFSTED rating 'good' in March 2022, which enabled the nursery to
conbnue to offei FEEE for both 2 Year old and 314 Year olds.
How our activities deliver public benefit
Burmanlofts Community Nursery, when established, was restricted by ils funding sources lo provide childcare to
parent51carers of children in the Bumanlofts area of Leeds lan identified area of social di58dvanlagel. 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.

The trustees will review the reserves policy annually. The principal funding source is the income received from
fees and grants.
The Tru51ees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in
place to mitigate exposure lo the major risks.
Key risks have been identified as follows..
The loss or reduction of the OFSTED grading of 'good'. However, this risk is reduced following the re-
establishment of a 'good' rating in March 2022.
Governmental Legislation change around 2 year old provision which would affect our seNice considerably. We
need to manage this risk in the long term.
Much of our capacity and intake depends on our excellent reputation within the community. As a nursery and a
business we continue lo strive lo up hold this slalus within the heart of our ethos. Further marketing of our

The nursery has a voluntary Board of Trustees with advisers responsible for the governance of the charity. We

The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularfy lo manage ils affairs. The charity employs a nursery
manager together with a number of support staff.

thè risks associated with employment mallers and financial risks have been managed by a detailed consideration
of future cash flows within the charity. During the risk review the requirements of OFSTED were tsken Into full

In addition lo systems being estsblished to minimise the above areas of risk, intemal risks have been minimised
by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and lo ensure consistent
quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity.
The above procedLJres are under continuous review to ensure they still meet the needs of the charity.
