Treasurer's Report- 2011112024 Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for their continued support over the last year. The staff, the committee, the children and parents for all being so supportive and flexible, enabling us to provide childcare for those who need it. Our accounts run from April 2023 to March 2024. You will see that we have rnade a small profit this year of £175.41, this follows a substantial profit last year of £25,436.18 and a loss the year before of £12,544.70, so this is good to see that we have made a profit. As a charity we should really be breaking even and not making a huge profit. We do have a healthy bank account, built up from previous years, which enables us to pay our staff, bills and purchase items for the children. We have now set up a savings account during the last year. Our auditor was happy to sign off the accounts. The balance sheet does show a difference of £401.45. This is money that has been banked during 2023124 but was shown in the 2022123 accounts. We also have cash in hand of £194.26 that we use for the petty cash tins. 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 yourselves by just giving 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 difficult to break some of the figures down, but any costs that relate to the building or the setting as a whole (electric, water, wages, insurance, Ofsted 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 organisations, Pre-school would have made a profit and After School a Ioss, this was also the case last year, although the figures aren't as substantial this year, so the After School loss is much less, probably due to having a few more children attending Beanz. Figures for income during 2023/24 show a slight decrease for fees and quite a decrease in grant income, meaning we had less funded children during this year, however the amounts we get are still substantial amounts. We did not hold any fundraising events this year. but we did attend Stagfest and Greenford School Summer Fair and Christmas Fair and we did manage to have a couple Rag Bag collections. Thank you 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 received some donations from StagFest24, the Black and White Ball, organised by the Play Park Committee, Maiden Newton Youth Club and Early Talk Boost, which we are very grateful for. Expenditure headings during 2023/24 have mainly risen slightly compared to last year, but this is to be expected with prices on the increase. Wages have increased and staff did receive a pay rise in April 2023 to ensure we were paying above the new national minimum wage. Outings / Presents has increased due to more attending the summer trip, but this would have been reimbursed by the parents and shown in other income. Consumables, Equipment, Phone and Utility bills have risen slightly as expected due to rising costs. Training has decreased as most of the staff are up to date with their training. Mileage has increased due to some courses now being in person. Numbers are good at Pre-school and continue to increase and numbers at Beanz are looking much better, which is good to see and l am pleased to say that we are now able to open every weekday, with Fridays now having numbers of around 6. We are still taking occasional bookings although there does not seem to be much up take on this at present, but the option is there for parents. I would just like to take this Opportunity to thank all the staff and committee foF their support, especially our Manager, Jackie, always there for me at the end of an email. Jackie has also ensured Beanz continued to run whilst we were waiting for our new manager, Kerry, to start, with the help of Rachel and for this we are very grateful. 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.
