Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year ended 31 August 2022
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2022. The trustees, who are also directors of Gosforth Nursery Ltd for the purposes of company law and who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
Gosforth Nursery Limited is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is a registered charity. The charitable company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 3 July 2009.
Day to day management
The Nursery is managed by Mrs Gillian Jackson.
Trustees
The aim is to maintain a trustee board with a range of skills which will be useful to the organisation. New trustees are taken through an induction procedure.
Key management personnel remuneration
The Trustees consider the Board of Trustees and the Nursery Manager as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All Trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. The pay of the charity's senior staff is reviewed annually and assessed to ensure that the remuneration set is fair and not out of line with that generally paid for similar roles.
Objectives and activities
The Charitable Objects are:
To enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through communtiy groups and by;-
-
Offering appropriate play, education and care facilities and training courses, together with the right of parents to take responsibility and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability;
-
Encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs;
-
Instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Pre-School Learning Alliance.
We aim to:-
-
Provide high quality care and education for children primarily below statutory school age;
-
Work in partnership with parents to help children learn and develop;
-
Add to the life and well being of our local community; and
-
Offer children and their parents a service which promotes equality and values diversity.
Public Benefit
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Achievements and performance
We were able to welcome back all families and children following the easement of all Covid-19 restrictions which allowed parents to return to their more 'normal' working practices and brought back a more regular income.

Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year ended 31 August 2022
Achievements and performance (continued)
New international issues, including the war in Ukraine, impacted the cost of operation, most particularly with the increase in energy costs. In addition, the rate of inflation had started to rise outside of normal and reasonable expectation towards the end of the financial year.
Despite external factors driving up the cost of utilities and consumables the nursery remains financially stable. While the end of year figures appears to be poor, this correlates directly to the timing of in and outgoing funds, in particular for monies spent before grants were received.
Whilst there were some staffing difficulties, the nursery was able to secure a replacement for the cook who retired and employ a young apprentice who proved to be an asset to the nursery. The deputy manager stepped down from her role and a senior member of staff was appointed into this position.
Staff were given a pay rise in June to help with their increasing costs of living.
As a charity we were able to access funding through Copeland GDF Partnership, bringing £49114 for an additional outdoor classroom and new play equipment for the outdoor spaces, including resources for a small unused piece of land that we secured from Gosforth School.
Additional funding came from a grant from Drigg Charity to provide 1:1 support for a child with additional needs, and a successful fundraising event was held to celebrate the Queen's diamond jubilee.
Financial review
At the balance sheet date the charity held £143,582 (2021: £160,708) on unrestricted funds and £217,974 (2021: £231,598) on restricted funds, a satisfactory position.
Reserves
Gosforth Nursery Management Committee seeks to hold 3 months operating costs in reserves as part of their contingency planning process. At the date of this report this reserve fund was complete and stood at £50,000.
Risk management
The trustees have assessed the major strategic, business and operational risks to which the organisation is exposed. They are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to these risks.
Plans for future periods
The year ahead is likely to be challenging. As a charity we must attempt to fulfil our role in the community by minimising the impact on the parents who rely on us. Whilst a non-profit making organisation, we will not be able to kerb the impact of external factors throughout 2022/23. In particular, the directors/trustees will need to review charge rates to parents and staff salaries. They are committed to giving staff a salary that recognises their hard work and loyalty to the nursery but need to ensure the successful management of the rising costs of operation.
A further member will be required to join the management committee when the secretary ends her term of office in the coming year.
A full review of attendance patterns will be required as the numbers of children fluctuate in the next academic periods.
The directors/trustees need to give consideration to future staffing as the manager makes plans for retirement in the summer of 2025. There is unlikely to be a successor within the current staff team.

Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors' report) for the year ended 31 August 2022
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Gosforth Nursery Ltd for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company 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 charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are 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.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
On behalf of the board

Independent examiner's report to the trustees on the unaudited financial statements of Gosforth Nursery Ltd.
I report on the accounts of Gosforth Nursery Ltd for the year ended 31 August 2022 set out on pages 6 to 20.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act), and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(i) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
-
have not been met; or
-
(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2022
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are summarised below.
1.1. Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements 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) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The company constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
The presentational currency is UK Sterling pounds (£).
1.2. Income
All income is included in the statement of financial activities once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
1.3. Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management and governance costs.

Notes to financial statements
for the year ended 31 August 2022
1.4. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
- Leasehold properties Straight line over the life of the lease - Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% straight line
1.5. Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
1.6. Defined contribution pension schemes
The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
Page 11
Gosforth Nursery Ltd (A company limited by guarantee)
Notes to financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2022
1.7. Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model.
Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.
Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.
