The following Directors and Trustees served during the year: J. Rowell E.L. Thompson R.S. Walker K. White ## **Accountants** Mollan & Co Accountants Ltd Holtby Manor Stamford Bridge Road Dunnington York YO19 5LL ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** To Offer quality childcare for children from the age of 2 years in a safe stimulating environment with highly trained members of staff. The setting offers government funded spaces for 2 year olds if the family meet certain criteria. 15 hours funding is available for all 3 to 4 year olds with additional 15 hours funding for eligible families. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** Page 2 **Cheeky Monkeys Play Group Trustees Annual Report** The setting has a good Ofsted rating in June 2022 which enables the setting to offer funded places for children ( as settings must be good or outstanding to offer funded places). The setting is now in a purpose built early years building which is on the grounds of Westfield Primary School. By being able to offer funded spaces for two year olds the setting has found they are able to have a greater impact on the children's development from a young age. Building relationships from an early age with the children and their families have made early interventions easier without additional anxiety as both sides can share concerns with ease. This enables each child to reach their full potential. In previous years the setting has had a substantial waiting list, however this year there has been a significant drop in the birth year, this has been citywide and not just Cheeky Monkeys. The funding rate has not covered the outgoings due to the drop in children on the register. Along side the drop in funding, the setting has started to pay 25% of the shared buildings utility bills. When the setting originally moved in part of the agreement was four years exempt from paying utilities and the new increased rent. However moving forward, the setting has already gained more children due to advertising on various Facebook sites and by putting posters up in the local area. So the next financial year will look more promising. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The nursery experienced a decline in income during the year, alongside increased expenditure, particularly in wages and premises costs. These pressures have reduced operating margins and impacted overall financial performance. Encouragingly, the subsequent year shows a significant improvement in income, indicating a recovery in activity and revenue streams. Continued focus on managing cost pressures will be important to ensure that this improved income position translates into stronger financial stability going forward. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** Type of governing document - Constitution All trustees are voted on to the committe and also for the positon they hold The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable activities services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs. - Grants payable All grant expenditure is accounted for on an actual paid basis plus an accrual for grants that have been approved by the trustees at the end of the year but not yet paid. - Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs. - Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity. ## **Taxation** The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. ## **Freehold investment property** Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. ## **Stocks** Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market. ## **Trade and other debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **Cash and cash equivalents** Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases. Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. ## **Pension costs** The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. ## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services** All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity. ## 2 **Company status** The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
