## Impact report November 2021 - October 2022
Our vision is a world where we give every child their best chance in life.
Our purpose is to devote ourselves to life-changing care and education for children with special needs and the support their families deserve.
The Peter Pan Centre Ltd, Hoon Avenue, Newcastle under Lyme ST5 9NY www.thepeterpancentre.co.uk. 01782 715219. info@thepeterpancentre.co.uk Registered charity number 1136914
## **Our story**
The Peter Pan Playgroup for disabled children was established in 1969 by Pat Edge and Mary Thomas. The children would play whilst their mums enjoyed a chance to relax and make new friends. During the 1980s the playgroup developed into the Peter Pan Nursery, registered with Ofsted and social services. Family support remained important, with a Family Room for socialising and relaxing. In 2011, the Peter Pan Nursery moved to its current premises on Hoon Avenue and then rebranded to become the Peter Pan Centre, a specialist development centre for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), in 2014.
## **Why we are needed**
- All children deserve the best start in life, and securing support for a child with SEND as early as possible is important to ensure their best future progress and life outcomes. Unfortunately this support is challenging to secure, leading to an “unacceptable contrast between the quality of life and the opportunities available to disabled children and their families, compared to those without disabilities” (Disabled Children’s Partnership, 2022). The pandemic has had a devastating – and continuing – impact on disabled children and their families, with children with SEND “disproportionately affected” (Ofsted 2021). Children born since March 2020 have lived most of their life during the pandemic. They have missed out on many vital early experiences and interactions.
- "The early years sector is competing with, and losing out to, higher paid or more flexible employment. Nurseries have closed because they cannot recruit or retain high-quality, qualified and experienced staff." There has been a net overall decrease of around 5,410 providers 21/22. (Ofsted Annual Report 2021/22, Dec 22).
- "Children with the most complex needs are often the least well served in already
- overstretched education and care systems." (Ofsted Annual Report 2021/22, Dec 22).
- 74% of providers surveyed by the Early Years Alliance in 2022 reported an increase in children with formally-identified SEND at their setting in the past two years.
- One respondent said, "We want to be able to take children with SEND but we know that we aren't able to give them the help and support they need because we simply can't afford to do so. Children with SEND deserve better."
- In Staffordshire, 4% of children in the early years have high SEND needs (Staffordshire SEND Strategy 21/22).
- Between September 21 and August 2022 we received x92 requests for support and our waitlist peaked at 62, an unprecedented high.
## **Our objectives**
- To provide life-changing care and education for young children with SEND.
- To deliver tailored support, at the right time, for the whole family.
- To strengthen trusted partnerships and collaborations.
- To deliver sustainable growth.
## **Our achievements**

Staff make children's communication development a priority. They support children to find ways to express their needs. (Ofsted, 2022)
of our children make progress from their starting points with us
## **What our families say**
100% of parent carers whose children moved on to school in September 2022 have told us that
The staff tell me what she has been doing in her session which is great as it gives me ideas and inspiration for new things to try at home (Mum, 2022).
- their child's health, wellbeing and development improved as a result of attending our sessions.
- that we fully understood their child and met their needs successfully.
they were less anxious about their child starting school and felt ready for the next steps in their child's educational journey.

## **Governance**
We welcomed Dr Meghana Pearson to our Board this year. Meg is a consultant community paediatrician, with 20 years’ experience in paediatrics, based at the Child Development Centre, Staffordshire Children’s Hospital at Royal Stoke. She manages children with a variety of special medical and educational needs and runs a Down’s syndrome/ expreterm neurodevelopmental clinic.
We introduced four Board-level sub committees to add focus to our work: Finance & Risk, Governance & HR, Fundraising & PR, Service Delivery.
People with lived experience are represented throughout our organisation, from our Parent Trustee, to our Chief Executive, to one of our Specialist Practitioners.
## **During the next 3 years we will**
- Continue to develop our practice to give children with SEND their best chance in life. Be there for the whole family, with tailored support, at the right time.
- Further develop our school transition service in light of local and national SEND reforms. Reduce parent carer isolation and improve their wellbeing through more social events, weekend activities and Stay and Play sessions.
- Set up a PTA to ensure the voice of our parents is reflected in all we do.
- Help to develop wider inclusion in the early years by providing more students placements and partnering with local FE colleges and universities.
- Undertake evidence-based planning of projects to further meet local need. Further develop our partnerships with funders.
- Be a values-led organisation with a commitment to valuing and developing our people.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Peter Pan Centre Ltd ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2022.
## **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 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 the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of CIMA, 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 Peter Pan Centre Ltd 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.

## **The Peter Pan Centre Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2022**
## **1 Charity status**
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The registered office and principal place of business is: Peter Pan Centre Hoon Avenue Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire ST5 9NY
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
The Peter Pan Centre Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
## **Income and endowments**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Page 14
## **The Peter Pan Centre Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2022**
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
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.
Page 15
## **The Peter Pan Centre Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2022**
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Government grants**
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised 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.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Office Equipment|4 years straight line|
|Nursery equipment|4 years straight line|
## **Fixed asset investments**
Investments are included on the Balance Sheet at market value at the year end. Gains and losses on disposal and revaluation are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Page 16
## **The Peter Pan Centre Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2022**
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
## **Financial instruments**
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Page 17
## **The Peter Pan Centre Ltd**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2022**
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
