Achievements and performance
The nursery has done well financially this year, we have made a profit once again. The government funding is now in line with the costs to the setting which is reflected within our accounts.
We have developed our website to become even more informative to not only existing families but prospective families, to enable them to make an informed choice when looking for suitable childcare that meets the families’ specific needs. The website include support regarding funded sessions and links to be able to check eligibility. It also contains specific information about each play room and the activities and resources they provide.
Dots n Spots sponsored a local children's football team, which advertised the nursery as a logo on their football kits.
We have now become more energy efficient by replacing our old heating systems with dual air conditioning and heating units. This is now more cost effective and improves the quality of care for the children now the seasons are more extreme. The units ensure that the children and staff are kept cool within the hot summer months, and warm and cosy in the winter months.
We have updated our Out of School Club. We now have separate rooms for Early Years/Key stage 1 and Key stage 3 to enable the children to access age-appropriate activities and resources. The space assigned to key stage 3 is now designed to be a youth club environment for the older children to enjoy. We were extremely grateful that we received a donation that funded our pool table and football table.
We opened the Tweenie room in September which was closed and used as a wellbeing room since Covid. The room is now full to capacity enabling us to accept more children under 2 years of age.
Anita completed her Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Co-ordinator level 3 training for the setting, which ensure we follow the SEND code of practice and support the children and their families by meeting their individual needs.
We had 3 staff go on maternity leave, with a further 4 in June/September 2025. We have been able to cover these roles and the team has pulled together to ensure consistency of care for our families remains strong.

Financial review
Funding provided by Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council has increased in line with the new Government initiative. The Charity made a surplus for the year of £163,296 (2024:£48,004) as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Investment powers, policy and performance
The trustees have considered that cash deposits are the most appropriate policy for investing funds.
Reserves policy
The trustee's have established a policy whereby the unrestricted reserves held by the charitable company should be sufficient to enable the charity to fund between 4 to 6 months of the resources expended. At this level, the trustee's believe that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charitable company in the event of a significant decrease in its income. This 4 to 6 month period would provide the charitable company with the necessary time to seek and develop new streams of income. Dots 'n' Spots Day Nursery & Out of School Club Limited currently has general reserves of £298,117, which covers 5 months of normal operationai costs.
Plans for future periods
As a well-established setting we always wish to further improve our service by assessing what we already provide and looking at what our community needs.
We would like to not only provide a service for our local community, but expand to reach the wider community. We plan to achieve this by further developing our fantastic website, offering open days and looking at other ways to promote the nursery.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

- Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: e income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
e legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
e income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
e income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis asa liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
e expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
*¢ expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
e other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and fittings - Straight line over 3 years
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

3. Accounting policies (continued
Impairment of fixed assets (continued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverabie amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
