Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2020

Structure, governance and management (continued)

Governance and management

One of our Trustees is a parent of a child who attends our After School Club. The aims for the future regarding Trustees is to always have a proportion of parents of children who attend our setting, but in addition we will recruit externally for members who have specific skills that are required to broaden the overall knowledge and skill set required for a committee of Trustees.

Julia Khan is the Director of Rainbow Pre-School & Extended Services as a paid member of staff, with overall responsibility for the daily operations across both sites. Direct reportees are:

Victoria Sharp, the Head of Rainbow Pre-School, is a qualified Early Years Teacher and is responsible for the learning and development of all of the children in our care. Victoria line manages the Pre-School Managers from both east and west sites. The Pre-School Managers have overall responsibility for both pre-school and extended services sessions. The staffing structure includes 2 deputy manager roles at both east and west, to cover breakfast and after school clubs. The Deputies report to the Managers. We employ a Head of SEN who works across both sites and is responsible for children with additional needs.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Apart from the first charity trustees, every newly appointed trustee must be appointed for a term of two years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. New trustees may be recruited if an existing trustee stands down or if the committee feel that there is a need for a broader set of skills.

The recruitment exercise will consist of appropriate advertising including communication regarding any vacancies to all parents. Equal opportunity interviews will be carried out and the selection will take into account relevant experience and skills.

Trustees are not remunerated nor receive any benefits for carrying out trustee duties.

Risk management

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

Regulators

Rainbow Pre-School & Extended Services are registered with Ofsted; registration numbers are EY482746 and EY493048.

Focusing specifically on:

Rainbow Pre-School & Extended Services operates in the town of Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, across 2 sites. The Head office is based at the West Site, Brunts Lane, Biggleswade and the 2nd site is Bantock Way, Biggleswade, both sites are within the grounds of St Andrews Lower School East and West. Rainbow is a Pre-School during term time (for children aged between 2 and 5 yrs old) and in addition offers a Breakfast Club, After School Club and School Holiday Club provision (children aged 2 to 9 yrs old). Both settings are open from 7.30am to 6pm for 50 weeks of the year.

Financial review

Financial

Rainbow Pre-School & Extended Services receives funding for children who are eligible to receive Government funding which is up to 30 hours per week for 3 and 4 year olds. Eligible families may also claim for funding for 2 year olds. In addition, fees are charged for sessions not eligible to be funded.

Our annual accounts have been independently examined by Streets Chartered Accountants and have been submitted to the Charities Commission.

There have been no internal fund raising events held throughout this year, but a small amount of funding was raised by arranging letters from Santa.

Reserves Policy

We aim to hold in reserve unrestricted funds that equal payment in lieu of notice periods for all staff and any other liabilities, which we estimate to be approximately £100,000, which we have achieved this year. It has been a challenging year financially, as a result of the first Covid 19 lockdown in March 2020. Rainbow did remain open but were only allowed to have front line workers children attending. Although we still received our normal monthly amount of funding from Central Bedfordshire Council, we did not receive private fees for wrap around care, because we were unable to provide this service to the majority of children that would normally attend. We considered all of the skills required to maintain a level of service at Rainbow Pre-School & Extended Services, a core group of staff remained employed with the rest of the staff being furloughed. Although our cash balances are £116,772 at the end of this financial year, there is likely to be a reduction in this figure next financial year, as we will need to use some of the reserves accrued to carry out normal operations, until the number of children attending increase again. The time frame for this will depend on Covid 19 restrictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Rainbow Pre-School & Extended Services

Year ended 31 August 2020

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Rainbow Pre-School & Extended Services ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

Rainbow Pre-School & Extended Services

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 August 2020

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is The Nursery Building, St Andrews Lower School, Brunts Lane, Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, SG18 0LY.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant judgements

There are no judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:

Tangible fixed assets are recognised at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged over the estimated life of the asset to its estimated residual value.

The recoverability of trade debtors are considered on a regular basis. When calculating the debtor provision, the trustees consider the age of the debts and the financial position of its customer.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2020

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2020

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised using the accrual model. Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the charity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the charity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it it becomes receivable.
