TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Objectives and activities
Core aim and ethos of St Michael’s Family Centre:
We aim to offer a safe and secure environment for all children, in which they will be offered a wide range of opportunities to learn through play. Enthusiastic staff will give the children opportunities to be creative, imaginative and to develop physical skills. We have a wide range of activities and equipment to suit all ages and interests.
The children will be empowered to extend and develop their skills and confidence in a caring supportive framework.
‘Playing and learning together’
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Major achievements and developments:
Throughout the past year attendance and confidence in childcare has been on the rise with Saddlebow Road being at capacity for the staffing levels and Church Lane and Terrington having growing numbers of children attending. This has come about with differing issues as income generation has been at the fore of thinking to enable a sustainable service to be offered. The implementation of the 15 hours of funding for working parents from 9 months has helped with this and made providing for this age range more sustainable. It has been noticeable that more parents are seeking childcare from 9 months to enable them to return to work however despite having demand being able to recruit suitable staff has been tricky and as such numbers attending have had to be capped to allow us to maintain the requirements of the EYFS.
Major achievements in childcare:
-
The use of Tapestry to document and record the children’s learning is ongoing in all areas of the early years provision and is well received by parents as it allows ease of access to children learning and development.
-
All staff have had the opportunity to participate in INSET training
-
Staff have updated relevant mandatory qualifications – including risk assessment, first aid, moving and handling, and safeguarding with sessions on the latest requirements and legislation.
-
Embed a unified approach and ethos across the three sites to promote the core ethos of the Charity as St Michael’s Family Centre.
-
OfSTED inspected Terrington St Clements judging the setting as Good – well done to staff for this achievement.

ST MICHAEL'S FAMILY CENTRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Church Lane :
The outdoor provision at Church Lane has been an area of ongoing review with plans in place to provide a more exciting and stimulating environment to meet the needs of the children. Whereby an area specific to the needs of the younger age group is being developed with grants being sort for this purpose. Despite changing situations and having no COVID restrictions children’s attendance has not been at the levels pre COVID, however, staff have continued to develop a reflective practice approach to ensure the highest quality provision is available for service users as they have returned to the childcare and early years provision. Owing to staffing levels and a lack of demand the baby room has been temporally closed, this is under consistent review to ensure that cost effective services offered.
Saddlebow Road:
Saddlebow Road has continued to reflect and develop the quality of services offered, albeit difficult and tricky at times with ongoing staff illness and the residual uncertainty as a result of COVID. Grants have been used effectively to support and enable enhanced learning activities to take place for some of our most vulnerable children including take home learning packs to focus on health, well-being and dental care. We have also established a supervised tooth brushing scheme for our Snowy Owls whereby they are regularly learning about the importance of oral health and participate in cleaning teeth after lunch. The focus for development at Saddlebow Road is the outdoor play and learning environment to ensure that this continues to be an exciting safe and stimulating play and learning area for the children.
St Clements:
St Clements as a relatively newly formed setting has required commitment from staff to plan, organise and deliver high quality care and early education. A grant from NCC has enabled the outdoor area to be revamped to provide a stimulating and exciting outdoor space where quality play and learning can take place. Indeed, the outdoor area has specific areas for growing and observing nature as alongside green space and learning areas. We celebrated the successes of the staff with the first OfSTED inspection taking place in July 2024 whereby a Good judgement was awarded.

ST MICHAEL'S FAMILY CENTRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Partnership working:
Local nurseries and community organisations:
The family Centre has continued to work in partnership with other local nurseries in the community to ensure that services are available for those most in need. This includes but not limited to signposting children and families to other providers to meet the needs and demands of the child and family.
Local health team:
The childcare staff have regular dialog with the local health team to plan and implement learning activities for those most in need as well as plan integrated reviews for the children (EYFS 2-year reviews/checks). Furthermore, for some of our most vulnerable children, staff attend multiagency meetings to ensure that the needs of the children are fully addressed and met this includes children with social care and or emerging or identified SEN needs.
Financial review
The accounts have been finalised for the year and independently examined by Aston Shaw, copy attached to this report.
We have continued to claim universal funding for our 2, 3 and 4 year olds. This means that the term after child is 2 years old they are entitled to 15 hours for funded sessions which we claim from Norfolk County Council Education department. Furthermore, we have children that are in receipt of the government working parents 15 or 30 hour funding. It has been noticeable that during the year that the numbers of children attending has increased this is attributed to a higher birth rate year for our school leaver cohort combined with changes in parents working situations as more parents are able to claim the working parents funding.
Finances have been an ongoing area of attention during the year; with the cost of living crisis and rising cost for utilities and other essential resources budgets have been tight and monitored to ensure that we provide a costeffective sustainable service.
Grants to the NCC Community Fund have been made to support the development of practice and enhance the learning for the children with successful bids for both Church Lane, Terrington St Clements and Saddlebow Road to purchased resources to promote healthy lifestyles with story sacks being available for children to take home and share with their families.
The staff have been very supportive of the financial pressures and their support and agreements with some tricky and difficult decisions to ensure cost effective service has been appreciated. Staff wages have been reviewed and increased in line with recommendations for minimum wage and the national living wage.
Hardship/family Support fund:
The Charity has continued to offer some of our most in need families services by continuing with the hardship/family support fund whereby a ‘restricted fund’ has been set up to allow us to be able to support children to attend that under normal circumstances would not be able to.
Restricted Early Years Pupil Funding : Families in receipt of the EYPP have benefited from having the termly government vouchers to support their rising cost of living. We have used the additional funding received for these children to support the intervention of targeted support to include but not limited to: Welcomm interventions
Additional staffing to support activities for example cooking, music and movement sessions, community trips and learning events.
Restricted SEN funding has been used to support those with specific learning to offer enhanced learning materials activities and staff ratio’s.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

ST MICHAEL'S FAMILY CENTRE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
St Michael's Family Centre is a unincorporated charity.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 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.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold property 1% on straight line Nursery equipment 25% on reducing balance Office equipment 25% on reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate 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-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates 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 future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
