The 2019-2020 year was extremely challenging, particularly in the second half of the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

One of the key developments during this year has been the security of the Smart Kids Childcare building, which was greatly increased by the installation of a full alarm system which is also monitored and linked to the Police, should the alarm be raised. The staff room and office were further protected with the installation of digital, card-only access. 

The kitchen door which was previously fully glazed, was replaced with a more secure door with less glass to prevent intruders entering the building. These additions compliment the installation of CCTV throughout the building last year. The setting also purchased a new secure cabinet to safely store children’s sensitive data. 

Throughout the year, all the ceiling lighting within the building was replaced and upgraded from old fluorescent luminaires to low energy, LED surface luminaires which will reduce energy costs and have a greater longevity. 

During this year, Smart Kids Childcare maintained its strict standards by retaining its five-star Food Hygiene rating from Preston City Council’s Environmental Health department. 

In October 2019, Smart Kids Childcare celebrated Harvest Festival with a food collection in association with the local church. A very generous donation was collected and provided to the Salvation Army. 

At the start of March 2020, to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, a professional restaurant chef was invited into the nursery. This was a parent of a child who attends the nursery, who joined the Pre-School to teach them how to cook a tasty pancake. 

In March 2020, all members of the teaching staff attended the North West Regional Open Meeting of ‘Ofsted Big Conversation’ at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. This brings together representatives of early years childcare providers and Ofsted. The event provides a communication forum where providers can collectively bring shared areas of concern or common themes they seek further clarification on, to a representative from Ofsted. It also provides Ofsted an opportunity to give updates on changes and direction of travel. 

Having reached the accredited status of being a ‘Sun Safe’ setting last year, Smart Kids Childcare completed its annual renewal programme alongside children in order to develop their knowledge further. 

As with all businesses, the Covid-19 pandemic forced the closure of the nursery in March 2020, before only re-opening to the children of Key Workers in line with government guidance in June 2020. 

Up until the government-enforced lockdown in March 2021, Smart Kids Childcare continued to offer extra-curricular activities including swimming. 



During the period of closure due to lockdown, Smart Kids Childcare kept in touch with parents and children, with weekly newsletters sent featuring many fun and exciting activities to support children’s learning at home. These have ensured that children’s interests were followed and links within the local community were maintained. Parents were also able to share information with the nursery on their child’s learning, development and interests. Whilst the building was closed due to government full lockdown, an extensive re-painting of the interior corridor walls and children’s toilets took place. 

Despite the Covid-19 pandemic seriously affecting the childcare industry, Smart Kids Childcare retained all members of staff during the government-enforced lockdown, taking advantage of the government’s furlough scheme. 

During the 2019-2020 year, Smart Kids Childcare was awarded a total of £10,000.00 in funding by Preston City Council’s Local Discretionary Grant Fund, to help support the charity during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

The nursery re-opened fully when permitted to do so by local and national government in August 2020.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SMART KIDS CHILDCARE 

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Smart Kids Childcare (‘the Company’) I report to the charity trustees of my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2020. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year 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. 

## 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 registered member of the ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

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.

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SMART KIDS CHILDCARE 

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Smart Kids Childcare (‘the Company’) I report to the charity trustees of my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2020. 

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year 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. 

## 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 registered member of the ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

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.
