**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

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 2021. 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** 

Being a not-for-profit organisation, Wakoos invests in staff and resources to benefit the delivery of quality childcare. It aims to make this more affordable in comparison with commercial childcare providers. 

The charity, staff and volunteers are committed to listening and responding to the needs of children and parents, providing practical early years support and advice. 

## **Our aims are:** 

- Encourage the emotional, social, physical, creative and intellectual development of children. 

- Encourage positive attitudes, and develop confidence and self - esteem. 

- Provide an atmosphere that stimulates interests and each child's imagination. 

- Help parents achieve a work-life balance, by offering flexible hours and by accepting Nursery Vouchers and assisting with providing information for Working Family Tax Credits. 

- Our staff are either fully qualified nursery practitioners or are working towards childcare qualifications. 

**Diversity in Childcare** - Wakoos is a fully inclusive setting, and its main aims are to enhance the development and education of children under twelve in the local area through the provision of education, support and practical advice. We offer childcare facilities ranging from day nursery, pre-school and out of school facilities. These are available to all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability. Wakoos accepts children who are eligible for both 2 and 3-year-old universal and extended funding, and works in partnership with Integrated Prevention and Earliest Help accepting referrals for children who may be vulnerable learners. 

Our charitable purpose is to give children the best start in life by providing services which promote child development and support families. This requires partnership working with other front line agencies, including health visitors, educational psychologists, community paediatricians, social services, and speech and language therapists. Our staff prepare individual support plans for children with special educational needs and provide support to parents whose children are going through the statutory process for Education, Health and Care Assessments/Plans and Early Help Assessments. 

**Partnerships -** Wakoos works in partnership with the on-site Children and Family Centre. We work together to support local families in the delivery of care and education of their children. We also work with local primary schools to reflect their teaching methods, ensuring smooth transitions and the best outcomes for all children. Wakoos work in partnership with West Sussex County Council's Early Childhood Services, benefiting from the support of an Early Years Advisor who offers support and direction where needed. 

Wakoos offer work experience to students. This includes trainees from local colleges and schools; Government-funded training provision (Babcock and Brighter Horizons); and also support to students studying for higher qualifications, such as the EYT. 

**Forest School -** Known as "Wakoos in the Woods."  One staff member has recently qualified at Level 3 leader to facilitate Forest School sessions across both sites. This will provide a unique selling point for Wakoos as well as another enriching dimension for children. Outdoor learning is proven to provide positive outcomes to help children learn. 

## **Significant activities/milestones**

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit** 

The main activities of the charity are undertaken to further the purposes for the 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 its future activities. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The Billingshurst nursery has been running highly successfully with places full until 2023 and with many enquiries and an active waiting list. 

Other achievements include:- 

- Excellent transition for children attending local primary schools. 

- A high percentage of children meeting age related expectations. 

- Supporting vulnerable children and families within the setting, through partnership working. 

- Successful holiday club provision with high uptake at Billingshurst. 

- 100% of parents have said that they were happy with the measures we put in place throughout the pandemic. 

- Staff attending training to upskill themselves and deliver high quality care and education. Some staff have achieved higher level qualifications through university degrees. 

- Continuing to receive referrals from outside agencies to support vulnerable families. 

- Operating a waiting list due to a high uptake of places, with no marketing required, at the Billingshurst site. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves** 

In line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission, the Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves. The balance of reserves in the general account stands at £232,771. The Trustees agree that a surplus must be reserved for any maintenance costs and if at any time redundancies are required. 

## **Financial Review** 

- The minimum wage increase of 0.19p per hour as from April has impacted our salary costs per year by approx. £20k, including the increased pension contributions. 

- A fee increase was introduced in September followed by a lunch charge of £1.50 per day in January 2021. 

This financial year has been very challenging for Wakoos with forced closures due to Covid, staff isolating and a new Nursery Manager & Deputy Manager joining the management team at Billingshurst. Our income reduced by 77% during April 2021 when we were only open for key workers' children. The furlough scheme allowed us to continue to pay salaries, however, due to us receiving Free Entitlement funding from West Sussex County Council, the amount we were allowed to claim through the job retention scheme was restricted based on the percentage of income received from the fee paying parents. 

Government guidance in June did not allow us to run a breakfast club or after-school club facility as we do not operate from school premises.  This also proved challenging as many of our staff rely on this childcare to work here. 

Working with the trustees and the many changes in the government guidelines, we are regularly reviewing our contingency plan. 

We continue to encourage parent participation and fundraising to raise funds for the maintenance and resources for the main garden area. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee having been incorporated on 6 March 2010.  It is also a registered charity (number 1137968), and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 6 March 2010.

**WAKOOS CENTRE4CHILDREN LIMITED** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The Board of Trustees is made up of between five and eight elected trustees.  The parent volunteers from local families who use their local and professional knowledge for the benefit of the setting are elected and their names are presented at the annual general meeting (AGM) of the charity, which normally takes place in November. 

New and prospective trustees will be welcomed at the committee meetings to find out what being a trustee of Wakoos entails. Should a new member wish to join, they will receive a full induction from the Chairperson once they have completed the checks and regulations required by Ofsted. All trustees will be subject to a DBS check. Trustees will receive the Committee Handbook and receive support and guidance from the established trustees. The Trustees and Management team are in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. 

The Wakoos trustees operate on a voluntary basis and therefore no remuneration or pay has been provided for their time. The nursery managers at both Wakoos sites are responsible for the day to day running and operating of the nurseries and receive support from the trustees should it be required. The Trustees volunteer their time freely and all expenses such as travel and DBS checks have been disclosed in the accounts. The pay of the senior management team is reviewed annually in April in line with the fee increase and pay is benchmarked against other similar organisations in the locality. The rate of pay the key management team receive is decided by the Trustees.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Organisational structure** 

Wakoos Centre4Children operates across two sites - in rural West Sussex. 

## 1) Billingshurst 

## 2) Petworth 

## **Organisational structure - Billingshurst** 

Billingshurst is open Monday to Friday 7.30-18.00 for 51 weeks of the year. The nursery is approved to provide places for up to 60 children as well as offering an additional 40 places for the After School Club and Breakfast Club. The nursery is based in the Billingshurst Children and Family Centre building, using two rooms for the following age groups: 3 months to 24 months and 2 to 5 years. The three rooms are set up into 'workshop' areas. We encourage free flow within the Nursery so that the children can independently access the resources and equipment. There are two outside play areas for the three age groups: an individual outside area for the children 3-24 months; and a shared open plan area for children aged 24 months to 5 years. 

Within the outside areas there is a covered section and children are encouraged to access the learning environment in all weathers. We have a growing zone - a vegetable patch and an area with bedding plants. We also have a mud kitchen and sandpit for the children to do digging and, during wet weather, the children like to splash in the mud and make mud pies. There is a raised mound to support children's gross motor skills as well as a tunnel underneath to make entertaining play. Further resources in the garden area include a willow tunnel that further encourages children's imaginative play, a slide and a variety of climbing equipment. 

Wakoos Centre4Children has a Breakfast and After School Club for reception-age children up until the age of 11 years. We use a shared (with the Children and Family Centre) Activity Room for this club. There is a dedicated outside, enclosed space with a range of play equipment for the children to play and learn. We have an additional site for our Afterschool Club at the Women's Hall along the main High Street for children over 7, providing creative opportunities geared towards independence, fun and learning new skills 

Wakoos also uses the Women's Hall to run a holiday club with a capacity of 30 children per day. A dedicated team of staff is assigned to the holiday club who engage the children in a full range of activities such as art and craft, sports and trips on the train and in the local area.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WAKOOS CENTRE4CHILDREN LIMITED** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wakoos Centre4Children Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **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 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales 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 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.

Government grants are allocated to the restricted fund since they are restricted to the provision of places within the nursery for entitled children. The cost of care is allocated to the restricted fund up to the value of the grant. 

The unrestricted fund is used to further the aims of the charity at the discretion of the trustees. 

## **19. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. 

The charge to profit or loss in respect of defined contribution schemes was £10,980 (2020: £12,461). The entire pension cost is allocated to nursery fees since it relates to staff employed in running the nurseries. 

## **20. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES** 

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 March 2021.
