at home as they either have flexible working arrangements or are not at work.

£45,239122%1 more than the previous year. The total expenditure was £241,0611£233,110 in the

The Nursery also collaborates with other 5etvice providers in the building, supporting the increase in
the Nurserfs occupancy.
Unrestricted funds are needed to cover staff costs and those of administration and support. without
which the Charity could not operate.
Income is often lower during the autumn term due to the start of the new school term year, and it
rises durin8 the spring and summer term to its highest level.
The nursery now has more special needs children, for which the costs of providing care are greater in
providing care. The nursery now has more special needs children, for which the cost5 are greater in
providing care. This imparts the Nurserf5 finances as staff adult ratio costs higher in supporting
children with additional needs, but we are pleased that we can provide care for these children.
The 8oard of Trustees considers it prudent that unrestricted fund5 Should be sufficient to cover three
to six months, administration and support costs. This level will ensure the Nursery has adequate
resources to cover its outgoings while income is at its lowest level during the autumn term.
