STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Trustees meet annually to discuss and approve the company accounts. The Governing Document —PLA Constitution 2008 are also approved at the AGM along with election of Trustees to the board are carried out at the AGM.

All staff and Trustees are required to have a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check in line with statutory requirements and to be at the required appropriate level for supervision and guidance of the children in our care.

The general manager reports to the trustees on all matters relating to the running of the playgroup and financial

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The company is limited by guarantee and its objectives are to provide quality care and education for children in the local community aged from two years to primary school age, following Statutory Framework for the Early Year Foundation Stage.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

2021/2022 has been a challenging year due to the Covid-19 pandemic and returning to normal life. This has caused an impact on the amount of children attending the setting. This has resulted in a loss of top up and general fees which caused a drop in hours given to staff.

We have supported the children and their families throughout the pandemic. We have talked to the children about it, giving support where needed. We have also supported parents through telephone conversations. We have an open-door approach allowing parents to ring anytime they feel they need to and someone will always make themselves available.

We had quite a few children leaving to go to school in September and we do not have the same number of children replacing them. The staff have cut hours to make sure the business stays financially stable. Although we will not be up to full capacity in September, we continue to have enquiries and visits from prospective parents, so anticipate that attendance will increase.

We have also had a new sign put up on the front of the building and had large banners printed and displayed to increase advertising.

All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
