**Busy Bees Blaenavon Day Nursery and Kids Club Ltd** ## **Trustees Annual Report** **September 2023-2024** **Busy Bees** 2023 - 2024 Busy Bees Blaenavon Day Nursery and Kids Club Trustees Annual Report 2024 Management Board Report for the year ended 31[st] August 2024 ## **References and Administration information** Charity Name: Busy Bees Blaenavon Day Nursery and Kids Club Ltd Charity registration number: 1126728 Company Registration Number 06495575 Registered Office and Park Street Operational address Blaenavon Torfaen NP4 9AA ## **Management Committee** Tom Wood Chair Susan Driscoll Sophie Gallear Joanne Walters Stacey Thomas Ryan Redman ## **Secretary** Cara Boddington ## **Our Aims and Objectives** At Busy Bees we aim to:- - Promote a community ethos where adults and children can reach their full potential - Provide a warm, caring, inclusive and family environment for children aged 0 – 11 years, where each child and adult is treated as an individual and their unique qualities are recognised and celebrated - To enable children’s learning by providing experiences and opportunities that are fun, stimulating and appropriate. Ensuring our work delivers our aims - Continually monitoring local demands and requirements so we can offer a service that is flexible and accessible - Liaising with members of the community such as Health visitors and school representative, as well as employers, Trade associations and local community groups - Ensuring our facilities are safe and secure and an appropriate environment for our activities. How our activities deliver public benefit - Affordable quality childcare enables parents to continue or return to work, improve their skills with training and further education. This includes escorting children to and from school and nursery for parents that would be unable to work without our services. - Allowing community groups to utilise our facilities to run activities and meetings - Supporting families in need of respite or childcare to enable them to better their quality of life for themselves and their children. - Actively employing local people and providing on the job training and experience opportunities for students. - Working in tandem with local health professionals to target families in need and delivering a service that improves the quality of life of the whole family ## Financial review Our expenses, excluding wages, have been pretty steady this year overall. Some increases, but nothing major. For the period 21/22 to 22/23 the wages rose a staggering 25%. it was just over 24% this year. Our fee income increased by only 16%. Which is good, but not enough to keep up with the rise in wages. 12% of the increase in wages was a direct result of pay rises in April 2024. The remaining 12% would be from increased staffing. The fees were increased by 10% so there is a growth of 6% outside of the fee increase. Our other income streams remain about the same. We paid off our smaller loan in November, taken out in May 2020 for £8125 to help with the upheaval of Covid. We have a larger loan that is still being paid off from January 2022. We are about half way though clearing this. Grants - we received £8,000 towards Flying Start training and the change over of Admin systems and a smaller amount for specialist toilet equipment and £1210 from the Moondance foundation. The Moondance Funding was returned in the Autumn as the children did not attend Busy Bees. We spent £5410.67 on a Shaded Shelter, tables and chairs for Bicc from grant funding received in the period 2022/2023 Our projections from September 2024 look difficult, changes by the Government to NI and pay will have a large impact in April 2025 and we were hoping for a lower fee increase this looks very unlikely. We will have to carefully plan our wage increases to minimise the effects. We did not do very much fundraising over the last 12 months so we may look to be increasing this. ## Principle Funding Sources Aside from the principal income generated by the services we provide, we continue to receive funding from Torfaen County Borough Council to provide Free Flying Start preschool places within both Busy Bees Blaenavon and at BICC, and from September 2018 many families have accessed the Free 30 Hours childcare offer. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ## Governing Document The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on the 6[th] of February 2008 and registered as a charity on the 30[th] of June 2008.

Page 1 **BUSY BEES BLAENAVON DAY NURSERY AND KIDS CLUB** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024** ## **STRATEGIC REPORT** ## **Financial position** Throughout the year, our non-wage expenses have remained relatively stable with some minor increases, none of which have been significant. However, wages have seen a substantial rise over the past two periods. From 2021/2022 to 2022/2023, wages increased by 25%, with a similar rise of just over 24% in the current year. In comparison, our fee income grew by 16%. While this increase is positive, it has not been sufficient to fully offset the growth in wages. Of the overall wage increase, 12% was directly attributed to pay rises implemented in April 2024, with the remaining 12% resulting from an increase in staffing levels. Fee income saw a 10% increase, which contributes to an overall growth of 6% beyond the fee adjustments. Other income streams have remained the same. In terms of liabilities, we successfully paid off a smaller loan in November, originally taken out in May 2020 for £8,125 to support the organisation during the disruptions caused by COVID-19. We still have a larger loan, taken out in January 2022, which is currently halfway through repayment. Additionally, we received an £8,000 grant to support the Flying Start training and the transition of our administrative systems. A smaller grant was received for the acquisition of specialist toilet equipment. Grant funding money of £5,411 from 2022/23 was allocated towards the purchase of a shaded shelter, tables, and chairs for the BICC. Looking ahead, projections for September 2024 present challenges. Changes made by the Government to increase Employers National Insurance Contributions as well as an increase to the minimum wage, are expected to significantly impact our financial outlook from April 2025. We were hoping for a modest fee increase next year, although this appears unlikely at present. We will need to carefully plan our wage increase to minimise the effects. Lastly, fundraising efforts have been minimal over the past 12 months, and we will explore opportunities to enhance our fundraising activities moving forward. ## **Principal funding sources** Aside from the principal income generated by the services we provide, we continue to receive funding from Torfaen County Borough Council to provide Free Flying Start preschool places within both Busy Bees Blaenavon and at BICC, and from September 2018 many families have accessed the Free 30 Hours childcare offer. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on the 6 th of February 2008 and registered as a charity on the 30 th of June 2008.

This includes escorting children to and from school and nursery for parents that would be unable to work without our services. o Allowing community groups to utilise our facilities to run activities and meetings. o Supporting families in need of respite or childcare to enable them to better their quality of life for themselves and their children. o Actively employing local people and providing on the job training and experience opportunities for students. o Working in tandem with local health professionals to target families in need and delivering a service that improves the quality of life of the whole family. Page 1 **BUSY BEES BLAENAVON DAY NURSERY AND KIDS CLUB** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024** ## **STRATEGIC REPORT** ## **Financial position** Throughout the year, our non-wage expenses have remained relatively stable with some minor increases, none of which have been significant. However, wages have seen a substantial rise over the past two periods. From 2021/2022 to 2022/2023, wages increased by 25%, with a similar rise of just over 24% in the current year. In comparison, our fee income grew by 16%. While this increase is positive, it has not been sufficient to fully offset the growth in wages. Of the overall wage increase, 12% was directly attributed to pay rises implemented in April 2024, with the remaining 12% resulting from an increase in staffing levels. Fee income saw a 10% increase, which contributes to an overall growth of 6% beyond the fee adjustments. Other income streams have remained the same. In terms of liabilities, we successfully paid off a smaller loan in November, originally taken out in May 2020 for £8,125 to support the organisation during the disruptions caused by COVID-19. We still have a larger loan, taken out in January 2022, which is currently halfway through repayment. Additionally, we received an £8,000 grant to support the Flying Start training and the transition of our administrative systems. A smaller grant was received for the acquisition of specialist toilet equipment. Grant funding money of £5,411 from 2022/23 was allocated towards the purchase of a shaded shelter, tables, and chairs for the BICC. Looking ahead, projections for September 2024 present challenges. Changes made by the Government to increase Employers National Insurance Contributions as well as an increase to the minimum wage, are expected to significantly impact our financial outlook from April 2025. We were hoping for a modest fee increase next year, although this appears unlikely at present. We will need to carefully plan our wage increase to minimise the effects. Lastly, fundraising efforts have been minimal over the past 12 months, and we will explore opportunities to enhance our fundraising activities moving forward. ## **Principal funding sources** Aside from the principal income generated by the services we provide, we continue to receive funding from Torfaen County Borough Council to provide Free Flying Start preschool places within both Busy Bees Blaenavon and at BICC, and from September 2018 many families have accessed the Free 30 Hours childcare offer. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on the 6 th of February 2008 and registered as a charity on the 30 th of June 2008. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1. Page 2 **BUSY BEES BLAENAVON DAY NURSERY AND KIDS CLUB** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024** ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Recruitment and appointment of Management Committee** Some of the directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the company’s Articles directors/trustees are known as members of the Management committee. All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefit from the charity. The Management Board has a mix of parents and staff to ensure that all aspects are covered and that it can be functional as a Board. ## **Organisational structure** Busy Bees has a Management Board of eight members who meet monthly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The Management Board at present has several members from professional backgrounds and several who do not in order to fully represent the community we support. A Management structure is in place. Day to day responsibility for smooth running rests with the Nursery Manager, supported by the Registered Individual and deputy managers. The Nursery Manager reports to the Management Board. ## **Responsibilities of the Management Committee** Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the management board should follow best practices and select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently, make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis. The management board is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Management Board is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Members of the Management Committee, who are directors for the purpose of company law, Tom and Sue are also trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report. In accordance with company law, as the company directors, we certify that; so far as we are aware, there is no relevant information of which the company directors are unaware; and as the directors of the company we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the management board is aware of that information. ## **Related parties** - •- Wales PPA - •- Clybiau Plant Cymru Kids Club - •- National Day Nurseries Association Page 3 **BUSY BEES BLAENAVON DAY NURSERY AND KIDS CLUB** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024** ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Risk management** Day to day risk assessment procedures and policies are in operation throughout the nursery.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. Page 6 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BUSY BEES BLAENAVON DAY NURSERY AND KIDS CLUB** ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 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.
