The charity advances education by supporting and promoting the learning and development of young children. The public benefit is to the children and parents receiving the charity’s services. The objects of the charity are achieved in the ways described below under the various headings. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** The services are provided to children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability. Any parents that are unable to afford the fees can apply to the local authority. As an Ofsted registered childcare provider, the charity receives Government funding to enable all three and four year old children as well as disadvantaged two year olds to access free part-time childcare places. Parents are offered flexible hours at the childcare provision to help support their working arrangements so that they can pay for the fees. The service is available to any child. ## ▪ _Promoting their care and safety:_ The charity looks after the children and their safety by ensuring that the staffing ratios for the childcare provision that are required by law are adhered to. The provision operates out of a purpose built premises which is designed for the safety of children. The setting has an outstanding Ofsted and only takes in the number of children that it is registered with Ofsted to care for. ## ▪ _Promoting their education and promoting parental involvement:_ This objective is achieved through encouraging parents to be members and trustees of the charity so that they can have their say in how the childcare services are run. Trained and qualified early years practitioners work with the children to support them in achieving the early learning goals for each of the seven areas of learning and development within the Early Years Foundation Stage. The opportunities provided are tailored to meet children’s personal **TAR** 2023/24 3 learning and development needs in order to help them reach their full potential. ▪ _Promoting their health and wellbeing:_ The provision creates an atmosphere where the children feel at ease and are able to open up to trained and experienced practitioners about issues that concern them. Children are monitored closely to see if there are any underlying problems and they are encouraged to engage with the staff and other children. All children have one on one time with staff. All food provided by the provision is healthy We are compliant with Food Information Regs ▪ _Providing services to support them and their families and carers:_ The charity holds regular meetings with parents and, on occasion, holds specialist training where a need is identified. Parents/carers and family members are also encouraged to speak to staff about any issues that concern them that may affect their child’s education or development. ▪ _Providing services to individuals holding membership of the CIO:_ The members of the charity may use any of the services offered by the charity which are available to the general public.

Without this valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise, the successful operation of the Pre-School would not be possible. You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance PTO **TAR** 2023/24 5 Section D Achievements and erformance p **Capacity, Income, Fees, Governance & Bookkeeping/Accountancy Summary of the main achievements of the charity** We operated fairly close to full capacity throughout the year. By the end **during the year** of the year, we could see that 2024-25 would start with us operating at full capacity. Parents/ carers have increasingly acquired 30 Hour funding and many partly use it to fund Breakfast Club places. We will need to assess the implications of the Govt providing funding to schools in subsequent years to deliver free Breakfast Clubs. Fees were last increased 5/9/23. We will need to assess the implications of the Autumn ’24 budget and reach a decision during November/December ’24 on whether or not to increase them. We were invited by CWAC to apply for a grant to part fund the creation of 5 additional wraparound care places. ( we were subsequently successful and will receive a ‘pump-priming’ grant of £10 850 to help meet costs from September ’24 to July ’26. We engaged the services of Shirley Sebuliba , Vine Accounting and Tax ,to conduct an independent Examination of our accounts – a legal requirement. Shirley unearthed serious flaws with the 2021/22 Accounts and Independent Examination that had been completed by TaxAssist Accountants. We consulted the Charity Commission and with their blessing, we replaced the 21/22 Accounts and Independent Examination with a set that met the Charity Commission’s legal requirements **Costs , Competition & Ofsted** Once again, our costs increased very significantly during the year, largely due to National Living Wage increases . We can expect an increase of the same magnitude in 2024/25. We continue to benchmark our pricing structure against the DfE’s annual survey of childcare and early years and know that we are significantly cheaper than private sector competition. Financially we are in good shape and whilst there are many potential business threats, we are well placed to deal with them so long as we don’t ‘stick our head in the sand’ or become complacent We were inspected during the year and maintained our Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ status and received our best report yet – we have been rated as outstanding since 2009 – an incredible achievement and testament to parents, carers and our staff. **Professional Memberships** We maintained our membership of professional 2 bodies ; Early Years Alliance and National Association of Day Nurseries. **TAR** 2023/24 6 Section D Achievements and erformance p ## **Succession Planning** We started work on succession planning during the year but have a lot more to do in ‘24/’25 to ensure that we continue to develop our people and organisation ## **Business development projects** Next year we will have at least three organizational development objectives: 1. To digitize our bookkeeping and accounting processes using Xero accountancy software 2. To replace LeaningBook with alternate Learninng Journey+ software 3. To automate the invoicing process ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **TAR** 2023/24 7 Section D Achievements and erformance p **TAR** 2023/24 8 ## **Section E Financial review** Our policy is to hold sufficient reserves to : **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** - ➢ cover four months operational costs or - ➢ enable us to meet unexpected expenditure or - ➢ enable us to absorb fluctuations in income due to varying attendances - ➢ respond to changes to local authority funding policy changes or **Details of any funds materially in deficit** Nil ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. Our two primary sources of income are local authority (LA) funding and fees paid by parents/carers - LA funding ( known as Direct school Grant or DSG) Is remains the largest income source but has significantly declined again this year. Income from fees has increased again by a significant amount; but the increase has been counter-balanced by increased staff costs - We will remain vigilant so that we can respond to further changes in our income streams in order to continue operating as a charity that is able to offer affordable, wraparound childcare and high quality early years education to the local community. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s) Position (eg Secretary, Chair, etc) Date** **TAR** 2023/24 9 Re￿Stered Charity Number:_ 1160740 HORN'S MILL PRE-SCHOOL a Charitable IneA)rporated Organisation FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR END 31 August 2024 Horn's Nlill PTe•S¢hool , Deiibi%h C'losc Helsbi, Vrodyhani ivc.fo.uk HORL%':S hllLL PRL-SCFIQOL CON'I"F:NTS ' roR T14E YE.AR ENDED 31 Jlugust ?024 STATEMEr￿ OF FtNANCIAL ACT1V[￿FS............................. .................................................. .............................
