## Trustees’ Annual Report and Accounts
Cambourne Pre-School
## operating activities
Our pre-school is located in the heart of the community of Cambourne. We are dedicated to providing high quality care and education to children aged between two and five years old and to support the families of those children so we can ensure the best possible outcomes for each individual child.
We want to give each child the best start to their school years, so we have created a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can develop their talents and build their confidence.
Our experienced team of pre-school teachers offer a balanced and challenging early years curriculum where activities are planned carefully so that every individual child can explore their interests, understand the world around them, learn and understand the importance of values and boost their self-esteem in readiness for their transition to primary school.
Development and learning is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage and we
**OUR VISION: to support and nurture each individual coming into Cambourne Pre-School and enhance their development through well planned and stimulating experiences within an inclusive, challenging and welcoming environment.**
continually echo the four guiding themes and principles in our setting, our activities and our planning.
A UNIQUE CHILD - Every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and selfassured.
POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS - Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships.
ENABLING ENVIRONMENTS - Children learn and develop well in enabling environments in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and carers. Every parent and carer is encouraged to be involved in the pre-school, they can vote at general meetings and participate in continually developing the preschool by joining the committee.
LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT - Children learn and develop in different ways and at different times. They start to learn about the world around them from the moment they are born. By providing them with interesting activities that are age appropriate, challenging and tailored to their stage of development, children can move onto the next stage of their schooling with confidence.

## uptake of sessions
Throughout the year we had a total of 52 children enrolled at Cambourne Pre-School. We currently have 38 children due to start in September, many families have chosen to defer their start due to Covid-19 therefore our expected uptake is lower than usual.

## fees & funding
Children who are not yet eligible for free hours, or who wish to attend sessions beyond their entitlement are invoiced at an amount depending upon their age. The difference in price represents the additional staff costs related to younger children and is determined by the funding levels we receive for these ages.
In total we received income of **£10,706** from paying children in 2020/2021.
All three and four year olds are able to claim universal funding of up to 15 free hours each week in the term following their third birthday. We also offer e x t e n d e d 3 0 h o u r s f r e e childcare to eligible three and four year olds, 11% of funded hours claimed were for extended hours.
Restricted funds represent **Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP), Deprivation Funding, Disability Access Funding and SENIF.** We had eleven children in receipt of EYPP at an increased rate of £14.01per session. This additional funding is used to close the gap between the child’s progress and that of their peers by improved staff training, resources or support for children. Any spend must benefit these particular children, but may also be of benefit to others at the pre-school.
An additional eighteen children received deprivation funding at an increased rate of £13.32 per session. This funding should be used to maximise the quality of teaching, improve the quality of the setting, help with language development, provide parenting support and help with school transitional arrangements, all proven areas that help the more disadvantaged children progress.
We had four children in receipt of the Disability Access Funding, which is currently £615 per annum for each child. This fund is to ensure all
Eligible two year olds are also able to claim up to 15 hours of free childcare each week, 17% of our funded hours were for free 2’s.
For the academic year, we r e c e i v e d i n c o m e o f **£127,889** in Early Years Funding which includes **£24,456** restricted funds.

3 of 9
Each year we aim to raise around £1,000 with our various fundraising activities.
Most of our fundraising is planned for the summer term and has again unfortunately not been possible due to the continued social distancing guidelines.
Each year the majority of our fundraising is achieved at our summer fete where we usually make around £600, we also historically have fundraised a further £200 at our summer party and graduation, where we sell yearbook posters, graduation photographs and cakes.
We have managed to raise £261 this year by selling tea-towels the children have designed and selling graduation photos of the children leaving for primary school.
Monies raised will be used in conjunction to the grant we received from the Co-op Local Community Fund to improve our outside spaces, which are proving more important than ever during the pandemic.
We have received in total £1,243 from the grant.

## financial review
Our expenditure on staff including wages, pensions, tax, national insurance, training and uniform costs represents more than 88% of our total expenditure this year. We have spent over £6,000 on equipment this year from restricted income, equipment specifically designed to benefit the children who receive Early Years Pupil Premium.
We manage our budget effectively to ensure that we can meet all of our liabilities and continue to offer quality care and education to the families in our community.
We keep our fees at a rate in line with current government funding, so we are affordable and accessible to as many families as is possible.
We did not experience any serious incidents in 2020/2021 that should have been brought to the Charity Commission’s attention.
The pre-school’s greatest expenditure is its staff costs. We employ a full time pre-school manager who has a foundation degree in early years along with three other full time members of teaching staff, two of which are Level 3 qualified and one is unqualified.
We have 5 part time members of teaching staff, two are Level 3 qualified and one is Level 2 qualified. We also employ an administrator.

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’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.
**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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.
