DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report along with the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st March 2024.

The financial statements 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 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. We have also referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives for the year.

Objectives and Activities

Objectives

Adjoining the local village school, Dunnington Children trading as Over the Rainbow Pre-school is at the heart of our community, providing Early Years Education for all eligible children in the area.

As a non-profit organisation, we're proud of the service we provide to local families and the fun, nurturing, safe learning environment we offer our children. Parents can access our childcare in ways that fit in better with work.

How our activities deliver public benefit

Dunnington Children trading as Over the Rainbow Pre-School, is monitored by OFSTED and along with meeting all their requirements, the charity provides quality access to the national Early Years Curriculum for all eligible children, by:

Achievements and Performance

Child numbers remained consistent with 2023. Although we saw a decrease of 5% in fee paying children, the amount of funded children increased by 12%. We expect this trend to continue further into 2024/2025 as a result of the increase in the funded hours offered to 2-year-old working families by the Government.

Although we can report a 1% increase in total sales, we experienced an 8% rise in total costs this year, of which was mostly attributed to the investments in staff and the increase to the minimum wage.

During the year staff received Makaton training to support children at the setting with additional needs. This has been adopted by all staff and warmly accepted by the children.

Children moving up to school in the year transitioned well following handovers with school staff.

We continue to operate ‘soft openings’ allowing a smoother transition for children and families at drop off.

We have been delighted to be able to continue offering assisted places this year to families and children who could not otherwise have afforded to attend.

The Company was incorporated on 28 May 2002 as a Company Limited by Guarantee, company number 04448939. The Company was registered as a charity on 23 July 2002, registration number 1093097.

An Extraordinary General Meeting was held on 31 March 2006 at which, following the approval of the Charity Commission, the Articles of Association were changed so that two classes of members could be formed; one for parents and carers of children and one for more formal members, who would have voting rights at General Meetings.

Statement of Directors’ and Trustees’ Responsibilities

The purpose of this statement is to distinguish the Directors’ and Trustees’ responsibilities for the accounts from those of the Independent Examiner as stated in her report.

The Directors and Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charitable Company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable charity law.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DUNNINGTON CHILDREN

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and the charitable company’s trustees as a body in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examiner’s work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body for my independent examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Company’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 member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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.

DUNNINGTON CHILDREN NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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:

a) Basis of Preparation

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 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Dunnington Children meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

The Charitable Company is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England. The address of the registered office is: Church Lane, Dunnington, YORK, North Yorkshire, YO19 5QG.

b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The Charitable Company has cash resources and has no requirement for external funding. The directors and trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements.

c) Tangible fixed assets

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised at cost.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets in use at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment – Straight line over 5 and 10 years

DUNNINGTON CHILDREN NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

d) Income

Charges for childcare services are accounted for in the year in which the service is provided.

Gifts and donations are accounted for when received.

Investment income is accounted for in the year on a receivable basis.

e) Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

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

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional requirements of the charity and include the independent examiner’s fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those categories. Certain other costs, which are attributable to more than one activity, are apportioned across cost categories on the basis of an estimate of the proportion of time spent by staff on those activities.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and includes the irrecoverable element of Value Added Tax.

f) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

DUNNINGTON CHILDREN NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

g) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

h) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting 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 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

i) Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the directors/trustees. Designations of unrestricted funds are made at the directors’/trustees’ discretion in order to make allocations for anticipated future expenditure.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a particular purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which are subject to specific trusts, either declared by the donor when making the donation or grant conditions, or accepted by the donor in responding to a specific appeal.

j) Financial instruments

The Charitable Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

k) Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
