**Cowling Pre-School and Toddlers** 

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

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 2024. 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** 

The objectives 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 objectives of the Pre-school Learning Alliance 

## **Significant activities** 

The charity comprises of two sections: Cowling Preschool and Cowling Toddlers. Preschool is managed by paid staff and is daily (during term times). Toddlers is run by volunteers and is held on a weekly basis. 

## **Public benefit** 

We provide local, affordable childcare for preschool children in a small village, as well as a weekly meeting point for potentially isolated parents/guardians and their preschool children. There are no other day nurseries in the village and we are a vital resource for many families both in the village and its outlying areas. 

Preschool can take children from the age of two years and offers 10 sessions each week (9 -12noon, 12 noon - 3pm, Monday to Friday). Toddler group is for any child from newborn to 5yrs. 

We also foster strong links with the local primary school, through the support of a 'transition to school' group held at the local school. 

In respect of the above the trustees have had regard to the charity commission guidance on public benefit. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Over the last academic year, the charity has utilized previously secured funding grants to enhance the educational experience for children through regular physical education classes delivered by skilled specialists. These sessions not only promoted physical health and motor skill development but also encouraged teamwork, discipline, and confidence among the children.The charity also played an active role in the inaugural Cowling Festival, a vibrant community event that brought enjoyment and connection to the local area. Participation in the festival was a dual success, fostering community spirit while raising much-needed funds to support the preschool's activities. This involvement highlights the charity's commitment to both the children it serves and the broader community.

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

During the year expenditure has exceeded income by £8,646 (2023 £14,377). 

Income from NYCC funding has increased from £67,207to £76,684, and fees have decreased from £29,164 to £21,226. Miscellaneous income of £766 (2023 £1,899) relates to the sale of uniforms and monies collected from parents for trips and there were monies raised from fundraising events of £753 (2023 £564). 

The total funds of the charity have decreased from £55,776 to £48,027. 

Free reserves at 31 March 2024 were £43,712 (2023 £50.383). 

During 2020 the charity received a grant of £9,900 from the National Lottery specifically for the following activities: Community revitalize for adults and preschool children. During that year, £3,141 of the grant has been spent leaving a balance of £6,759 at that year end .During 2021 a further £330 of the grant was spent leaving a balance at that year end of £6,429 Last year a further £1,962 of the grant has been spent leaving a balance of £4,467.During 2022, a further £2,352 has been spent leaving a balance of £2,115. During the current year a further £1,522 has been spent leaving a balance of £593. This has been treated as a restricted fund. 

The trustees have established a level of reserves (that is those funds that are freely available) that the charity should have. The reserves are required to operate and meet the charity's objectives and enable the charity to continue as a going concern.. 

The principal sources of funding for the charity is from attendance fees and government contributions towards attendance fees. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have considered the position regarding going concern . The charity has continued to receive early years funding from NYCC and parent fees are looking at other sources of income. .The trustees have looked at forecasts and are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. 

The charity has sufficient liquid funds to meet its liabilities as they become due and expenditure will not be authorised unless sufficient funds are in place.For these reasons the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Significant effort has been invested in creating a stimulating and engaging environment for children, both within indoor and outdoor spaces. These enhancements aim to inspire creativity, curiosity, and learning, and the charity is committed to further building on these improvements in the coming months. 

However, a decline in the number of children attending the preschool has underscored the need for a strategic review of the services offered. The focus will be on adapting programs to better meet the needs of families in the community, increasing enrolment, and ensuring the preschool remains a vital resource. 

In parallel, the charity recognizes the importance of maintaining financial sustainability. Efforts will be directed toward reviewing operational costs to maximize efficiency, allowing the preschool to continue delivering high-quality early education and care while remaining accessible to as many families as possible. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Background** 

In July 2011, Rachel Salt and Kay Williamson undertook the task of putting preschool and the committee on a much more secure legal and financial footing by becoming a limited company and a registered charity. This was finally achieved in January 2012 with the transfer of the staff's employment coming under the umbrella of 'Cowling Preschool and Toddlers Ltd'.

The trustees (who are also the directors of Cowling Pre-School and Toddlers for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements 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 that period.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
