The trustees present their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31st August 2025.
Reference and administrative details
The details are as set out on page 1.
The organisation became registered with the Charity Commission on 26th January 2011.
Trustees
The trustees who served during the year are as stated below:
Mrs B Stubley Mrs P Knowles Mrs A M Anderson
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing document
The organisation is governed by its Trust Deed dated 4th August 2010
Appointment of Trustees
The trustees are appointed by the charity in accordance with the Trust Deed.
Trustee induction and training
All new trustees are provided with a copy of the Charity Commission guidance relating to the roles and responsibilities of trustees, a copy of the last year's charity accounts, past trustee minutes and other trustees provide help and assistance throughout the induction process, no matter how long that takes.
Organisation
The day to day management of the charity is delegated by the trustees to the manager, Mrs J Hennessy, who reports to the trustees on a regular basis. The trustees meet on a regular basis to discuss the activities of the charity and make appropriate policy decisions as and when required.
Connected Organisations
Although the charity has a close working relationship with St Michael's Church of England Primary School, as they are situated in the school grounds, they are not, however, "related" parties.
Risk management
The organisation has reviewed their policies and systems have been established to mitigate those major risks to which the organisation is exposed. In particular with regard to Health and Safety, and Child Protection, suitable people have been identified to become the relevant officers.
Objective and activities
The objects of the organisation are:
a) To provide the necessary facilities for the daily care, recreation and education of children under statutory school age.
b) To enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the educational, developmental and other needs of their children.
Achievements and performance during the year
During the year we focused on maintaining quality and continuing to develop our staff team. We did not make any significant purchases, but we invested in training. One staff member completed the Early Years Professional Professional Development Programme (EYPDP). All staff continued with their mandatory training and 2 members of staff attended a phonics course which has now been successfully introduced across the nursery. Most of the team also completed Welcomm training to help strengthen our support for children/s speech and language, which is an identified area of need within our local community. We also took part in a mock Ofsted inspection to help us reflect on our practice and prepare for future inspections.
Financially we were pleased to remain stable. Increased numbers of two year olds helped improve our income and we are aiming to build on this in coming year.

Financial Review
Results for the year
The results for the year are set out on page 5.
Plans for future periods
This coming year we are looking to improve staff facilities and also to replace flooring/furnishings to benefit all members of Pavilion.
Reserves policy
The trustees have established the level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available) that the charity ought to have. Reserves are needed to bridge the funding gaps between spending on salaries and other expenditure and receiving resources through childcare fees and grants that provide funding. The trustees have established a reserves policy for unrestricted reserves, whereby, in order to enable the charity to operate effectively they aim to have twelve months worth of expenditure in general fund reserves. The trustees therefore consider that the ideal level of reserves as at 31st August 2025 would be £159,000 (2024: £142,000). Whilst the unrestricted reserves are only £101,430 (2024: £93,066) the trustees are looking at ways to increase them.
Investment powers and policy
Under the Constitution, the charity has the power to invest in any way the trustees wish.
Public Interest Statement
When planning our activities for the year, the trustees, gave consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance to charities concerned with the advancement of education.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the financial activities of the charity for that year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice have been
-
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity 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 charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the trustees on the 20th April 2026 and signed on it's behalf by

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").

Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
(2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
(3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st August 2025
1 Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (SORP 2015 - FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the organisation that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the charity at the discretion of the trustees. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the trustees are also unrestricted.
Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions imposed by the donors or through the terms of an appeal.
Transfers of funds are made to recognise the release of restricted funds or to meet expenditure not covered by restricted income.
The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the charity is held responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of groups that owe their main affiliation to another body.
Income
Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is received by or on behalf of the charity. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Grants receivable Grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.
Investment income
Dividends and interest are accounted for when due and payable. Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue. Tax recoverable on such income is recognised in the same accounting year.
Expenditure
Activities
Activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both the costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Irrecoverable VAT
All resources expended are classified under activity headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.
Tangible Fixed Assets and depreciation
All equipment, fixtures and fittings with an original cost of less than £20,000 are written off in the year in which the expenditure was incurred on the basis that due to the nature of the charity's activities, there is no expectation that the cost of the assets will be recovered in the way of future revenues.
Current Assets
Amounts owing to the charity at 31st August in respect of fees, rents and other income are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectible. Short-term deposits include cash held on deposit at the bank.
Contingent Liabilities and Provisions
In accordance with the SORP, a contingent liability is disclosed for those grants, which do not represent liabilities, where the possible obligation, which arises from past events,will only be confirmend by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the trustee's control. Provisions are recognised for those grants where there is uncertainty as to the timing or amount, and any uncertainty regarding the amount is more than simply a matter of determining a basis for reasonable estimation of the liability arising from that constructive obligation.
