The staff, the committee, the children and parents for all being so supportive and flexible, this has really helped us continue to open and provide childcare for those who need it. Our accounts run from April 2021 to March 2022 and for part of this year we still had restrictions in place, but l am pleased to say that we are now back to our usual opening, with occasional bookings at Beanz now available again. You will see that we have made a substantial loss this year of £12544.70, this follows a loss last year of £6959.40. Fortunately. we have a healthy bank account, built up from previous years. which enables us to stay afloat and continue to pay our staff. bills and purchase essential items for the children. l am aware that we now look at ourselves as one organisation, Maiden Newton Childcare Provision and this is how I have presented the figures to yourselve5 by just givtng you one Set of figures, however for my own interest and as advised by the lady that audits the accounts. I have broken this down between Pre and After School. It is obviously difficuk to break some of the figures down. but any costs that relate to the building or the setting as a whole (electric. water. ylages, insurance. Otsted registration). or any items of equipment that will be used by both settings and also the profits from donations and fund raising events, I have divided in half. It has shown this year that if they were classed as stand alone org3nisations. both Pre and After School would have shown a loss. After School's loss was around £201XI.C￿ more than Pre-school's loss. This is interesting, as generally Pre-school show a profit and After School show a loss. but this year numbers of children in Pre- School have been unusually low, meaning less grant money. We have also lost the grant funding which we used to receive due to Jackie Young's degree. Figures for income during 2021122 show an increase for fees, but a huge decrease for grant income. If you add these figures together and compare them with the previous year. there is a difference of over £19,000.00 less that we received, thi5 would be mainly due to not having many funded aged children. We were unable to hold any fundraising events. but we did manage to have two Rag Bag collettion which raised £165.00. Thank vou to everyone for their donations and to those who sort and send it off. We have also raised a Small amount from the sale of uniform and a Christmas Raffle. The other income money is higher due to a payment of £1502.63. which w35 paid and then returned to the bank. This was then repaid. so it makes it look like we have received lots of other income, which we have not. ExpendÉture headings during 2021122 have mainly risen slightly compared to last year, but this is to be expected with prices on the increase. Wages however did decrease. due to lower numbers of children and not needing as much staffing. Staff did receive a slight pay rise in April 2021 to ensure we We￿ paying above the new national minimum wage. Training increased due to all staff completing a two day First Aid course. Mileage was 2ero due to all training being online or at The Children's Centre. Utility bills and insurance have risen slightly and we are expecting them to increase more as this year goes on. The sundries expenses was high this year due to purchasing a new fence, which cost over £5000.C Numbers are good at Pre-school and continue to increase. last year seemed to be a low intake year and numbers at Beanz are looking better than they did at the end of13st year, which is good to see, although numbers on Fridays are still low. As stated earlier. we have returned to taking occasional bookings although there does not seem to be much up take on this at present, but the option is now there for parents. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for their support, especially our Manager. Jackie and Beanz Manager. Hannah and also our Chairperson. Theresa, all there at the end of an email. Finally. I would like to thank Natasha Pidgeon very much for auditing the accounts for us. It is appreciated and I have purchased a small gift as a token of our appreciation. If you have any questions, please ask and I will try to answer them.
