THE KOOL KIDS CLUB
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022 Charity number 1111227
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their Report and the Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2022.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The accounts have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the club are to provide the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children during out of school hours, and to advance the education and training of the persons in the provision of such care, education and recreational facilities.
The club provides childcare provision before and after school for families who attend Clifton with Rawcliffe Primary School. The holiday club provides childcare for families across the City of York. The school itself does not provide such care and the club provides this public benefit. The club operates a breakfast club and an after-school club every day of the week. We provide holiday care each school holiday and open for Teacher Training Days.
Since the introduction of 30 hours of funded childcare for 3- and 4-year-olds, for eligible working families, in September 2016, the club works in partnership with the school nursery to provide the required hours of early education and childcare under the funding arrangements.
We believe that our main activities further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

THE KOOL KIDS CLUB
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022 Charity number 1111227
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The most recent Ofsted inspection was on 3[rd] October 2018 and the outcome was 'Good'.
The Manager, Deputy Manager and Trustees continue to work co-operatively with the school to ensure that the space and facilities available to the club at the school are appropriate and secure.
Until 1[st] April 2022, the club was still operating under the changing COVID guidance, however from April to June 2021, occupancy levels at the club were beginning to pick up and there was an increasing amount of interest for places from parents for September 2021.
As the club began to change back to normal operational procedures from 1[st] April 2022, occupancy during this month were good but not yet at pre COVID levels. It was also during April 2022 that after a recruitment drive, which had entailed re-advertising for posts several times and more widely, that the club were able to request interviews for a Deputy Manager, Business Support and a Playworker.
Whilst the club remained financially secure during this period, there was some success in applying for and being awarded SEND funding from City of York Council. At the same time a more robust debt policy was developed to keep a tighter and quicker track on those falling into debt. Good relationships and half termly meetings with school have meant that the club is able to monitor if a child may need an assisted place and can provide a rapid response.
The club’s marketing strategy was discussed and improved during this year, which led to a greater demand for holiday club places especially during the summer. A new club website also began to be developed.
Occupancy levels recovered during this year from a position of 46% ASC and 35% BC to 64% of a maximum 90 children at after school club and 58% at breakfast club by 26[th ] April 2022. Club numbers continue to be closely monitored as the COVID 19 restrictions continue to affect lives.
The Club has continued to subsidise the childcare fees for certain parents who experience a change in circumstance but whose children benefit from attendance. In the year the Trustees decided to allocate £1,655 (2021 £1,872) of funds to continue that support within the club. There was a clear increase in the funds allocated to assisted places that reflected and recognised the effect COVID had on parents during 2021/2022, and the beginnings of a cost-of-living crisis in early 2022.
There have been some significant challenges to navigate during 2021/2022; however, the trustees and staff are pleased to have been able to work in partnership with the school to keep the club open for eligible children and families.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income picked up this year, totaling £183,442 (2021 - £138,549), fees from childcare provision amounted to £178,485 (2021 - £84,865). The associated expenditure was £162,094 (2021 - £144,149), principally in payroll, management and premises costs.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022 Charity number 1111227
STRUCTURE. GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The governing document is a constitution dated 10th May 2005 and it is an Out of School Club.
The trustees are appointed by nomination. New trustees are always welcome and advertising through school and social media occurs regularly.
The trustees have considered the major risks for the charity and are satisfied that there are systems and procedures in place to manage them.
The accounting records are maintained on accounting software including the use of Fee and Purchase ledgers.
STATEMENT OF THE CHARITY'S POLICY ON RESERVES
The club continues to expand and the Trustees believe that it needs to keep reserves of £10,000 to allow for unexpected expenditure. It has exceeded that level of reserves (in 2022 – £98,607 and in 2021 - £77,259) and the Trustees are satisfied with the financially sound position.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Coronavirus has shocked global demand and supply across all services and industries. No organisation has been untouched. This is specifically true for charitable organisations such as Kool Kids Club, whose survival under normal circumstances is dependent upon parental confidence. The dramatic changes currently being experienced directly affect the lives of parents and children, the host school and most importantly, the ability of Kool Kids Club to act quickly and respond effectively to change. Trustees aim to continue navigating through these changes by:
-
Keeping abreast and responding to government and NHS advice.
-
Continuing with the excellent relationship with Clifton with Rawcliffe Primary to ensure changes in local and national advice are shared and acted upon.
-
Using our collated service data to help anticipate future demand.
-
Ensuring any debt from club fees is managed and recuperated, whilst recognising the difficult challenges faced by families.
-
Continuing to listen to and support families in need with assisted places, where possible.
-
Seeking government, local authority, and other available organisational grants to help fund assisted places and other budget areas.
-
Building an understanding of parental concerns in order to respond positively to create confidence and build resilience during this difficult time.
-
Continuing to take advantage of government schemes that support staff.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The purpose of this statement is to distinguish the Trustees' responsibilities for the accounts from those of the Independent Examiner as stated in his report.
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity's state of affairs at the end of the year and of its financial activities for that year. In preparing those accounts the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.
DECLARATION
The trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees' Annual Report above.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE KOOL KIDS CLUB
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Kool Kids Club (‘the Charity’) for the year ended 30 April 2022.
This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examination work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity'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 Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my independent examination work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Charity Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with the relevant version of the 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 but has since been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
