EARLY DAYS PRE-SCHOOL (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08205128)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

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 2023. 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 trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities, and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of Education.

The charity's purpose as set out in the objects contained in the company's memorandum of association 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:

1) 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;

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

3) Instigating and adhering to and further the aims and objects of the Preschool Learning Alliance.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The Pre-School has continued to enrol children in the local area. There are a wide mix of age ranges attending and we continue to attract children attending the nursery at Oughton School for lunches and the afternoon wraparound care.

A maximum of 30 children aged from their second up to their fifth birthday may attend the Pre-School at any one time. There were over 50 children on roll, all of whom are in the early years age range. The Pre-School receives government funding for early education places - this can be for 15 hours, 30 hours or 2 year old funding. It supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language, numbers of which are increasing. Up to 9 staff directly work with the children.

Fundraising activities

We have completed the following fundraising activities this year and raised a total of £1,538.80 from these: The fundraising activities and the amounts raised included: Christmas Fundraising (Baubles, raffle, bonus ball) - £273.25 Toddle Waddle - £1,195.05 2x Photo Shoot commission - £65.00 Easter Cake sale - £5.50

The Toddle Waddle was a particularly successful fundraiser with limited adult input and we shall attempt it again in the next school year.

There have also been some additional ad hoc payments from parents towards our fundraising effort.

We have decided that we are not going to sell children's t-shirts as parents have not requested them.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The total income for the period of trading was £162,240. The majority of the income for the Pre-School comes from Government funding for pre-school children (£143,941). The remainder is obtained from fees charged to parents (£18,298) and further fundraising/voluntary donations.

At 31 March 2023, we had net cash assets of £71,895 which are held in our bank accounts.

Parent session fees were increased in September 2022, to try and offset the increases in National Minimum Wage and National Insurance contributions and the rises in the general costs of living. The lunch club fees were increased in April 2023 and there are plans to again increase session fees in September 2023. We continue to remain competitive with other settings in the area.

Early Days Pre-School use a company called Peninsula for HR and Health & Safety Advice/support - these are invaluable services to the management to ensure we are meeting all our legal obligations. We also subscribe to the Employee Assistance Programme which provides support to staff via Health Assured.

At the time of the report, once again, our only ongoing debt remains the outstanding rent between April 2016 and November 2019. This was accrued whilst the lease was being negotiated and we could not pay as we were not invoiced. We have still not received an invoice for the rent owing between April 2016 and November 2019. This has been followed up by Early Days Pre-School with Carter Jonas, the company responsible for managing the lease and accounts on behalf of Hertfordshire County Council. The lease is due for renewal in November 2023 - this will likely result in an increase in rent payments.

During this financial year, an accounting system (FreeAgent) provided free through NatWest bank continues to be used to reconcile transactions and invoicing of parent fees, so payments made via BACS can be reconciled, making parent fee invoicing more robust. Most parents now pay via BACS rather than cash.

FUTURE PLANS

Early Days Pre-School are continuing to enhance the setting in various ways, including the outdoor area.

There had been a request from the adjoining Oughton Family Centre that we have our own adult toilet within our setting, and the decision was made that it was not feasible as the adult toilet would be directly in the setting and not in a separate toilet block.

We also need to re-review our current alarm system so that we have our own independent system, rather than being linked with Oughton Family Centre. This was updated post year-end.

The covered outdoor classroom area needs to be updated and repaired and this is planned during the next financial year, using Fundraising funds where 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.

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 6 September 2012 and has no share capital.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees/management committee

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as the members of the Management Committee. Most members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. One director, Mrs Paula Carr, the Pre-School manager, is a director and trustee but does not receive or will receive any remuneration for their trustee role and play no part in any management decisions that may directly affect them (eg salary rises). It is always the aim to recruit trustees from the parents of the children attending the Pre-School.

There have been several changes in the trustees/Directors during this reporting period: - 2 directors have resigned: o Miss Chloe Griffin. o Mrs Morena Aloisi

The management committee aim to meet at least 3 times a year. An agenda and minutes are produced with actions. Decisions of the committee can be either at meetings or via email discussions, and these email decisions are retained.

The committee members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to Early Days Pre-School, including deciding on how the funds are to be spent. They are also responsible for ensuring appropriate remuneration of staff and payment of invoices. However, the day to day running, and planning activities of the Pre-School itself are primarily the responsibility of the Pre-School manager, with input from the committee, when necessary.

Organisational structure

Early Days Pre-School was registered in November 2002 and became a Company limited by guarantee on 6 September 2012. On 5th November 2019, the name was officially changed from 'Early Days Playgroup' to 'Early Days Pre-School' in order to better reflect the activities that we do and service we provide. A new logo was also produced.

The Pre-School operates from a large, self-contained room on the site of Oughton Primary and Nursery School in Hitchin, which is in a designated area of deprivation. The children have access to an outdoor area and a covered outdoor classroom.

The Pre-School operates Monday to Friday during term times (38 weeks) between the hours of 8.45am and 3.15pm. This includes a morning and afternoon session of 3 hours each and a lunch club between 11.45am and 12.15pm. Children can attend for a variety of sessions. A maximum of 30 children aged between two and five years may attend the Pre-School at any one time. There can be up to 70 children on roll, all of whom are in the early years age range and the Pre-School receives funding for early education places. It supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who speak English as an additional language. To support these children, a member of staff became a dedicated SENDCo in April 2019.

Eight staff directly work with the children. Seven staff hold relevant National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) at level 2 or 3 and receive additional appropriate training when required. One member of staff is a Level 3 Apprentice and should be qualified in 2024. An additional member of staff is employed as the Administrative Manager for both the committee and Pre-School staff. The Pre-School is registered with Ofsted on the Early Years Register and the compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare Register. All staff (including admin) who were working at Early Days completed their Paediatric First Aid Training in January 2022.

Risk management

The directors/trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EARLY DAYS PRE-SCHOOL (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08205128)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Early Days Pre-School ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the 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 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 2011 ('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

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.
