Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 August 2021

Objectives and activities (continued)

The charity's main activities

Wigton Moor Playschool provides pre-school play, education and care for children from two years old to schoolentry age.

Playschool conforms to the Government’s statutory Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) childcare framework and we are subject to Ofsted inspections. At our last two inspections in 2014 and 2019 the quality and standards of our provision were rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

We are a charitable company, limited by guarantee, run by a board of voluntary, unpaid directors elected by members of the charity or appointed by the board in accordance with the Playschool’s Articles of Association.

Our main source of funding is the Government’s Free Early Education Entitlement (FEEE) grant for two, three and four year olds as administered by Leeds City Council, with a smaller amount coming from fees paid directly by families for provision outwith the FEEE criteria. Our income is also augmented by charitable donations and fundraising.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education.

Achievements and performance

Wigton Moor Playschool has had another successful year despite the continued challenges of COVID 19. Our partnership with Wigton Moor Junior Football Club is excellent and they respond quickly to any repairs needed.

The Playschool has managed to stay open throughout the pandemic, caring for Key Worker children when required. Playschool pupil numbers remained good from September 2020 until August 2021. Our committee meetings have continued to take place on Zoom, and 2 new directors were appointed in November 2020. The staff have continued their training online and completed food hygiene and health and safety training. We continue to make links with a local primary school who are always complimentary about the achievements of those pupils who move into their reception class.

Fundraising has been difficult due to the COVID 19 restrictions. However the staff and directors have continued to raise extra funds through raffles and fun activities, which the children have really enjoyed.The staff in particular are always supportive of any fundraising activities. We continue to have good relationships with local businesses and the Co op recently donated funds to buy some new toys to enhance the children’s play. Since the erection of an outside canopy the children are able to access outside learning more often.

Money raised has been used to fund Pyjama Drama who still come into Playschool to provide excellent creative activities which the children enjoy immensely.

We are making more use of our Facebook page which enables parent/carers to see and respond to what learning takes place at Playschool. This now has lots of photographs on and comments from staff, carers and directors.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £34,797 on unrestricted funds.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £149,504. The current reserves policy is to hold 6 months running costs in reserves.

We anticipate increasing our reserves target to 9 months, but also plan to upgrade our computer and purchase some new toys in the near future. Also pressure on staffing costs continues to increase, all of which are likely to cause use of our reserves.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 August 2021

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wigton Moor Playschool

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 August 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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 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 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.
