Report of the trustees for the year ended 31[st ] March 2024
The Trustees present their report and unaudited accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2024.
Introduction and overview
Little Oaks Nursery Leeds Ltd (LONLL) is a charitable company limited by guarantee which was established in June 2004. Its purpose as a Third Sector organisation is to provide childcare and education for children under school age, supporting children and their families through early intervention strategies and initiating referrals to external agencies as required. The reach area it covers as defined by the local authority (Leeds City Council) consists of Tinshill, Ireland Wood, Cookridge, Holt Park, Bramhope and Adel. The Nursery is located within Ireland Wood Primary School and has an excellent working relationship with the school. The head teacher Mr I Blackburn chairs the Nursery’s management committee.
Data monitoring of the nursery’s development confirms that nursery continues to support families from the most disadvantaged areas of the local community and ensures working families have access to affordable childcare. Early intervention helps to identify when children need additional support and this is put in place in a timely manner to ensure good outcomes for every child attending. Referrals to external organisations and agencies are made as needed to ensure families receive the support they need. This includes support with housing, debt advice, addiction, parenting skills and referrals to health professionals. The nursery received an overall good grade in its Ofsted childcare inspection on 20[th] March 2018.

Report of the trustees (continued) for the year ended 31[st] March 2024
Activities for public benefit
In summary the purpose of the nursery is to “to provide care, education and support families primarily from the local community with equality of access, regardless of ability, gender, race or culture”. The nursery provides this by using the EYFS criteria as guidance for this work.
The core purpose of nursery is:
-
Child development and school readiness
-
Parenting aspirations and parenting skills
-
Child and family health and life chances
The Nursery continues to provide all these services for the community in which it serves.
The above activities accomplish the charities ongoing aim to further its purposes for the public benefit. In undertaking these objectives and activities, the trustees have had regard to Charities Commission guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
Little Oaks Nursery Leeds Ltd continues to offer 86 full-time equivalent child care places each day for children under school age. Children attend for a variety of sessions throughout the week from 15 hours government funded places, for some 2 year olds (subject to qualifying criteria) and universally for 3 and 4 year olds known as Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE). The nursery provides an additional 15 hours FEEE to 3&4 year olds to qualifying families. It also offers full time places of 10.5 hours per day mostly used by parents in work or in training.
Other achievements include:
-
Receiving a good grade across EYFS outcomes in the Ofsted childcare inspection (March 2018),
-
Improving support for and promoting good mental health throughout the setting.
-
Continuing focus on the quality of provision for all nursery and service users.
-
Making improvements to the management structure within the nursery.
-
Reducing the impact the pandemic has had on children’s development and ensuring provision effectively meets these needs.
-
Supporting families to access services to ensure good outcomes for children.
For the review period April 2023 – March 2024 LONLL continues to self-assess the nursery’s services to ensure the provision meets the needs of the families attending the nursery. Data is collected regularly to ensure the needs of the community if reflected in provision and this is used to set annual targets.

LITTLE OAKS NURSERY LEEDS LTD
Report of the trustees (continued) for the year ended 31[st] March 2024
Financial Review
During the 2023-24 year the nursery made a deficit. During the year it continued to experience increased costs including salaries, a reduction in funding, lower sales revenue, a high number of staff on maternity leave and high temporary staff costs.
All funds received by the nursery take the form of Income from Childcare, Grants and Funding. Income from childcare is general income and is used primarily to cover operational and administration costs of providing childcare.
Reserves Policy
The Nursery’s policy on reserves is to keep them at a level to cover three months expenditure necessary to keep the nursery running. The main expenditure is wages and salaries which are covered within the policy as well as other operational costs. Where reserves are in excess of the policy the nursery looks to improve the facilities and therefore, improve the quality of service provided.
At 31[st] March 2024 the free reserves of the charity amounted to £165,882 (2023: £129,430) which is equivalent to 3.3 months of total expenditure (2023: 2.5 months)
Investment Policy
In accordance with the Trustee Act 2000, the trustees continue to review their investment policy to ensure that the maximum investment returns are achieved, while not compromising the operational requirements and having regard to the acceptable level of investment risk.
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are no funds for long term investment. Having considered the options available, the Board of Trustees have agreed that the reserve fund should be kept in a high interest deposit account. As with most bank accounts interest rates have been disappointing this year and the trustees continue to look at other bank and investment products for competitive options and alternatives.
Commitments
The Trustees had made no commitments to future capital purchases, nor given any guarantees, at the balance sheet date.
Post Balance Sheet Events
The Trustees are not aware of any events after the balance sheet date which has any material effect of the position presented in these accounts.

Report of the trustees (continued) for the year ended 31[st] March 2024
Plans for Future Periods
To maintain financial stability to ensure that childcare and services provided by Little Oaks Nursery Ltd can be maintained even during periods of financial uncertainty.
LONLL continues to use its cloud-based Accounting and Payroll software. This has proved to be a more streamlined and efficient system providing up to date information on a more accessible platform. This information is used in regular monthly management team meetings which continue to be developed further to monitor progress across the Nursery as a whole.
The Nursery focused on the Administration and Management structure within the organisation and continues to do so. The outcome has been better structure as a whole and improved communication. Monthly meetings of the Administration, Management and Governance functions continue to improve the overall running of the Nursery.
LONLL intend to limit future investment to items that are strictly necessary to maintain the high level of service offered. They are also looking at all available cost savings to reduce the outgoings and provide financial stability in the recent challenging times. There are not currently plans to add new features but just to ensure current items are maintained.
Small Company Exemption
The Charity has taken advantage of the exemptions available to small companies in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Audit Exemption
The decision not to undertake an audit is due the new charities statutory audit threshold introduced in March 2015 increasing the threshold to £1m. The total incoming resources to March 2024 were £643,917.
The Trustees also felt that with the uncertain economic climate and the question marks over Nursery Funding it would be prudent to reduce costs.
To maintain the level of Governance the audit provided the Charity will have their accounts looked at by independent advisors, ensuring that the level of assurance remains high. The duties of the current reporting accountant continue to be extended to undertake many of the financial safeguards provided by an audit.
The Trustees are using the Charities Commission guidance CC15c Charity reporting and accounting: the essentials March 2015 to assist them in developing this new process. Even though the charity is by SORP definition a Smaller Charity, it still intends to produce its annual report and accounts following the applicable SORP for Larger Charities.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2024
1 Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006. They have been drawn up to comply with the recommendations in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (the FRSSE) effective 1[st] January 2015.
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No.1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small entity and a separate statutory income and expenditure is not reported on the grounds that the relevant information is clearly identifiable in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Going Concern Basis of Accounting
As with many voluntary organisations the charity is dependent on renewing and securing new funding sources to replace current short term contracts and grants. Based on available information the trustees consider that the charity can continue in operation for the foreseeable future and accordingly the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
Fund Accounting
Monies earmarked by the awarding body are accounted for separately, in Restricted Funds. The notes to the accounts show the movements and balances on any such restricted funds. Unrestricted funds may be spent on any legitimate charitable aim as laid down in the Charity’s memorandum of association.
Unrestricted funds are held in the general reserve except to the extent that the trustees consider it appropriate to make transfers to designated funds.
The charity’s accounting systems allocate all income, expenditure, assets, liabilities and reserves between these funds. The statement of financial activities shows separately the income, expenditure and any transfers relating to restricted funds, designated funds and general reserves. Assets and liabilities attributed to each fund are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements
Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation, except buildings. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of the assets over their expected useful lives, as follows:-
| Buildings | 4% straight line basis |
|---|---|
| Office equipment | 20% straight line basis |
| Fixtures & fittings | 20% straight line basis |
A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken. The basis of this review is to examine the assets in their current use and ensure that the current value is not materially different from the value reported in the annual financial statements.

- 1 Accounting Policies (Continued)
Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts (including gifts in kind). These amounts are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
-
Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Where grants are received during the year in respect of future periods, the amount of the grant, which relates to the future periods is shown as deferred grants and is included within creditors. For grant income which is related to performance and specific deliverables, is accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Income arising from grants and similar contracts specifically for the provision of activities or services which are provided as part of the charitable activities of the company is recorded under the heading of incoming resources from charitable activities.
Resources Expended and Irrecoverable VAT
Liabilities are recognised as resources expended as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
Charitable Activities
Costs of charitable activities represent costs attributable to the charitable objectives of the charity.
Governance Costs
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice, such as accountancy fees.
