Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 August 2020

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

The objects of the Pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by:-

Offering appropriate play, education and care facilities and training courses, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability;

Encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs;

Instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.

The charity's main activities

The charity runs a sessional pre-school playgroup with children from ages 2 - 5 years.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education.

Achievements and performance

The academic year 2019/2020, got off to a really good start, with healthy numbers of families attending. We had a full staff team, who have been enthusiastic in their own personal development. We have recruited recently due to a lady leaving following the birth of her baby.

In March we were ordered to close to most children but remained open for vulnerable children and those of key workers. This began a very challenging period for our staff, as we had to adapt to new ways of working, and more vigorous cleaning routines. We had to support our parents who were key workers, and who were witnessing trauma in their day to day work.

We remained open throughout the annual holidays to support working parents. We were able to qualify for the £10,000 support grant from the local authority, which supported overtime payments to staff. We were then allowed to re-open to all children from 1st June 2020, however had very poor uptake.

Due to COVID restrictions, no trips were planned and there was no graduation ceremony in Church but the children attended an End of Year party and we were able to video a celebration of all the children to parents via our Class DoJo Link.

We were able to deliver a small leaving present to all our leavers and managed to ensure all transition documents were sent to infant schools in a timely manner.

The building had a thorough deep cleanse in readiness for the new academic year.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £6,776 on unrestricted funds.

Going Concern

At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

St Johns Under 5's Pre-school

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 August 2020

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £94,060.

This amount represents 4.5 months running costs at current levels.

It is the Pre-School’s intent to maintain financial viability.

After reviewing our financial position, including the impact of Covid 19, we are confident that St Johns Under 5s Pre-school remains a going concern and is financially viable for the next 12 months.

It is the aim of St Johns Under 5s Pre-School to keep 2-3 months running costs (including staff wages) in reserve to cover any unforeseen circumstances.

The sum of £40,000 plus credit interest should be set aside in a separate savings account (with Unity Trust Bank) and not drawn upon unless agreed by two officers of the committee.

These funds shall not be restricted funds, although should not be withdrawn without good reason e.g.. If there is a substantial drop in income due to low take up of child places or any large unplanned expenditure, which otherwise cannot be covered by normal working funds.

If any funds are withdrawn, they should be replaced to top up the reserves fund back to the figure of £40,000 as soon as it is financially viable to do so.

If the charities operating costs (i.e. turnover) increase substantially, then the reserve fund should be increased accordingly, in order to maintain the minimum figure of covering at least 2-3 months running costs.

This policy should be reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company 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 charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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 has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

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

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.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 August 2020, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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 charitable 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 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.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 August 2020

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows:

Freehold buildings: over 50 years Fixtures and Fittings: over 5 years Freehold property improvements: over 15 years Equipment: over 5 years

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.
