Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The object of the charity is to provide nursery child care and education for babies and pre-school infants and to provide and promote classes, facilities, services and resources for educating and furthering the education of children.
Aims of the charity and strategies employed to achieve these objectives:
The main aim of the charity is to provide a sustainable child-care service maintaining high standards and operating at minimal costs.
The achievement of these aims will enhance the local community and local parents, in particular, by nurturing the children and beginning their learning process.
The achievement of these aims will further the purposes of the charity by enabling a high quality of learning and development for children, as well as to continue to be sustainable.
With regards to the provision of childcare facilities the staff are continually updating their training and welfare knowledge. Regular OFSTED inspections ensures the services are continually held to a high standard.
The criteria for measurement of success is the continued viability of the business, as well as aiming to better its OFSTED status. The charity also takes note of the number of children who use the facility who have older siblings also enrolled.
Significant activities
The charity offers childcare services for children from 3 months to 12 years of age, split into age appropriate rooms. Coracles offers learning from 3 months to 2 and a half years in a sensory rich and heuristic environment. Cobles and Tugs offer 2 and a half to 3 and a half year olds hands on exploration, physical activity and routine. Toppers supports children in developing their own learning routine and Clippers is an out of school club giving children more freedom whilst providing structured activities.
With regards to the aim of sustainability, the charity has previously restructured the management team to make better use of staff resources, skills and roles. This has continued this year with changes to management due to staff leaving and this has been well managed and supported internally.
Due to the uncertain position of the charity at the current time the short term aim is to be sustainable and to continue to provide the high level of services previously undertaken. The longer term objective is to continue to provide quality learning and expand the services which the charity provides.
Public benefit
We have referred to guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
Public benefit is delivered by the charity through providing quality child care using experienced and qualified nursery staff. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Volunteers
Filey Child Care Ltd occasionally uses volunteers who provide an excellent contribution to the operation of the organisation through various fundraising activities. There are four volunteer committee members who oversee the charity.

Report of the Trustees
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
On 21 September 2009, the organisation became a registered charity, registration number 1131725.
The charity has continued to be forward thinking and developed new initiatives and learning activities after receiving our 'good' OFSTED rating last year. The nursery has a great relationship with the primary school next door and has been able to benefit from their reading bus initiative.
The overarching objective - to provide high quality childcare to the local community at minimum cost - has been achieved. The charity is one of the most affordable providers in the local area, which is a key objective as Filey and Scarborough have 17 out of 23 of the most deprived geographic areas in the North Yorkshire area.
The financial objectives set by the charity (keeping a healthy reserve at a level which is equivalent to three to six months expenditure) have been met this year. Three months expenses is equivalent to approximately £120,000 and reserves currently stand at £135,302. This is despite a challenging year with Covid-19 adversely affecting the charity, with staff seeking to ensure the centre remained safe and open as restrictions permitted.
Fundraising activities
The management team have been successful in gaining grants for projects to enhance the nursery and the learning opportunities for the children. All staff have been proactive with fundraising which has included a sponsored walk and one off donations to say thank you for the service that they are providing to the community.
The trustees accepted charitable grants totalling £1,344 (2021: £5,440).
The income made available to the trust over the year was £455,512 (2021: £463,087).
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The future financial position of the charity remains uncertain. Covid-19 presented unprecedented operating conditions, yet reserves only decreased from £152,317 to £135,302 during the year. The longer term impact of Covid-19 is still unfolding, and coupled with competition from a school next door, national minimum wage increases and NYCC rent charges of £15,000 per year the charity is facing a challenging future.
Principal funding sources
The principal funding source is private nursery and childcare fees. The charity receives income from NYCC which is based on early year care and the number of children receiving this care. There has been no increase in council funding this year.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the trustees that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months of expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charities current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
FUTURE PLANS
The charity remains committed to providing high quality childcare for the community, and will continue for as long as it remains financially viable.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
The original Memorandum and Articles of Association was issued on 6 May 2005, but was amended by a Special Resolution dated 14 December 2018.
