## **Annual Report 2019/20 Cygnets Education and Childcare Trust (CIO) Charity number 1160913**
_Our guide to action for this New Year is simply as stated in our new business plan to ensure financial stability; so that we can continue to provide services to the public benefit, in line with our charitable status and aims, as well as continue to provide valuable work for our staff teams, across the Organisation. In such challenging times we will go back to fundamentals, ask the difficult questions and check we have the basics right, not put all our energy into recreating our operations exactly as they were._
The Year started with 8 Trustees all remaining in position, pressure of work led to 1 parent trustee standing down as the pandemic took hold. Much valued work was done by this trustee, over a considerable period of time and at personal cost, when very busy in his work life, including being the Health and Safety lead for the Organisation. A manager with the lead for sites and premises has taken on this responsibility and we hope to soon fill the trustee position. All Trustees are unpaid for their work for our Charity; they have to fit in their duties around family, personal and working lives, it is dedicated work for which we are very grateful.
## **Chair's Report**
This report is an executive summary with key facts, for a fuller report see sections related to Managers lead responsibilities, aligned to the statutory requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage, with other operational areas overseen by the Trust. Contributions reflect on what happened last year but also what we hope to achieve in the future. There have been no serious incidents to report over the period to 31/08/20.
We started the year 2019/20 with 249 children on roll, we expected a gradual increase over the year but this was interrupted by the pandemic. Parents showed a lot of loyalty by staying registered, many donating some fees they would have paid, if we were not in partial lockdown. We did later lose a sizeable number, especially at Alveston, though this helped to balance reduced capacity due to the Covid safe operating rules, so we ended with 211. The New Year starts with 221 on roll, lower than usual but mainly due to OOSC issues. Broad Street school has supported our OOSC, an this effect will carry over into the New Year, and the shortfall in take up of OOSC places at Quinton has been balanced with more demand for nursery places. At Alveston though demand is there for OOSC places there is still delay in take up, which impacts on income, if this continues it may demand a change in our operations at that site. Within the nursery sections at Alveston only 59.6% of places are grant funded in the new year, a huge drop on the previous, Broad Street are 72.5% and Quinton 55% but this is as the school nursery takes most of the preschool children. Over the year we had a number of children on the 2help scheme and received some extra funding for additional needs. Extra help will be needed in the New Year, including for children who could have attended during lockdown, as we remained open for them, presenting with a number of challenges. Staff are to be commended for their work with all children but particularly with those needing 1-1 support.
We had a complement of 39 staff for 2019/20 but this has reduced to 36 in 20/21, as we have not replaced some staff due to the pandemic situation and with some redeployment hope we will have avoided the need for any redundancies. We have 3 Early Years Professionals and a further 26 staff qualified to level III or above, some with degrees plus 3 level II and 4 unqualified in various support roles. There are 3 Time to Talk champions, 2 WIncKS awards (Warwickshire Inclusion Kitemark scheme), I Makaton accreditation, and we have a forest school leader. Staff, particularly those who worked as the skeleton team across the Organisation to keep all sites open for the children and families who needed us and could attend, are to be applauded for this challenging work at the height of the pandemic. The understanding, flexibility shown and support of those on furlough has also been crucial to our survival. We now need to get back on track with the real living wage for all qualified staff but first need to get occupancy back to near pre Covid levels. Some fundraising events in the autumn did take place for other charities but this next year we need to concentrate on fundraising and seeking grants for ourselves, to both continue and improve our services. HR support remained contracted out to an external company and most cleaning requirements were also externally met. We banked with Lloyds and Nick Frost from AIMS Accountants provided a financial service, which will continue. The Legal and General pension scheme met all regulatory requirements.
Operational and document changes last year have largely revolved around Covid-19 but we have tried to keep pace with other requirements and staff training plus reviews of all areas including our Reserves policy, whilst ensuring quality of learning for our children, through the lockdown and beyond. Teams have all helped to save money and cut expenditure by taking on different jobs, everyone helping with extra cleaning and being very careful in the use of resources, which will continue into the New Year.
## **Information & Records - Pippa Evans**
Our documents and policies were reviewed throughout the year as per our Trust meeting calendar, however significant amendments were made relating to Covid-19 when needed. Our prospectus was updated to cover more about the Trust and the activities we do, documents were changed in relation to converting from NEF & 2 Year Help to Early Education Funding (EEF), Karen provided each site with new Safeguarding documents on USB chips, 1 for staffrooms + an office copy which has worked well and the website has been tidied up for the start of the year.
Documents are still available on the Avensure locker, this will require an overhaul, however Managers are able to check with each other and/or Avensure for assistance. The Master Operational Plan folder stored at Quinton was last reviewed in December 2019 before PJE started maternity, the folder will now be passed on to the Trust.
There have been no new changes to our storage of information policy however we have now started to store our archived documents upstairs at Broad Street – we must ensure this is completed annually and we continue to back up office PCs to external hard drives.We have been using an external company to recycle confidential paperwork however this is to be monitored after a confidentiality breach on their part (paperwork relating to another Organisation found in empty bag delivered to site).
## **Suitable People – Sam Allison**
As an Organisation we continue to use the services of external HR and Health & Safety Specialists to support Managers and Trustees with recruitment and such issues. Agency was used at the beginning of the year and we will continue to use them if necessary but bank and part time staff are used where possible to cover sick and annual leave. To enable us to stay partially open during the Lockdown period and to safeguard jobs we made use of the Government Furlough Scheme and operated on a reduced staff team, with some changes of hours.
At Broad Street 3 members of staff were furloughed leaving 3 staff members working through. All staff returned for the last few weeks of the academic year with one full time level 3 seconded to Quinton. In total 8 staff out of 12 were furloughed from Quinton with 3 remaining on flexible furlough. At Alveston 12 staff were furloughed initially with 6 still remaining on flexible furlough in Sept 20.
Broad Street staff team remained constant over the year though a part time level 3 assistant left and was replaced by a full time level 3. A temporary member of staff was employed for the year, to cover a 1 to 1 funded child, now joining the Alveston team for the coming academic year.
At Quinton, the deputy manager, promoted to Classroom Manager, returned from Maternity Leave and the relief Manager covered the Office and the classroom roles during the partial lockdown. The Office manager, also our Operational Lead, came back from maternity leave but will be leaving at the end of September 2020, though continuing in a voluntary position on the Trust.
At Alveston A new administrative assistant started following the retirement of the previous administrator. All three of the staff members on maternity leave returned on part time hours and a further part time supervisor was employed to cover the additional hours.
## **Training – Sam Allison**
Full staff training, through the National Day Nurseries Association was held on ‘Self regulation, Supporting Well-being’. All sites have continued to access Educare online training through our Pre-school Learning Alliance membership. Outside providers were bought in to hold group staff training, First Aid in January and Child Protection in November. Prevent Duty WRAP training was attended by a member of staff from each site and Designated Safeguarding Lead training was renewed for members of senior staff who needed it. Quinton’s Level 2 Assistant is nearing the end of her Level 3 qualification expecting to complete in the Autumn term 2020 and Alveston’s unqualified assistant is soon due to complete her Level 2.
## **Learning & Development – Sam Allison**
The evaluation systems Sustained Shared Thinking and Emotional Well-being (STEW) and Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scale (ECERS) have been introduced in a weekly timetable to complement each other and inform self evaluation in the classroom.
All sites ensured that quality Learning & Development continued throughout the Lockdown despite reduced staff teams, limited resources and temporary placements of children from closed settings.
Staff were creative with their planning and worked hard to ensure that children still received a stimulating, rich and varied experience at all of our settings.
Cross site meetings had to be suspended in the Spring due to the lock down. These will be resumed in the Autumn Term when we will share ideas from our experiences and ensure that we are back on track with our self-evaluation system and be ready for any Ofsted Inspections which may happen in the near future.
## **SENDCO – Sam Clarke**
At the start of the academic year Quinton were given funding for a child with Autism to have 1:1 and we were able to purchase a number of resources to support the child. Once covid-19 approached us support became limited and the main support was from our 1:1. Transition meetings with schools were done via Teams and all parents, professionals and new schools were able to join us for meetings. The professionals have been able contactable via telephone and email if we had questions. Alveston had 2 children with 1:1 support in preschool and SEN meetings were attended. Broad Street worked closely with IDS, receiving partial inclusion funding for 1:1 support for a child in his preschool year. Normal transitions for this child took place, via Zoom and socially distanced face to face meetings, with school, parents and IDS. Broad Street also worked in collaboration with IDS for a child not yet in receipt of inclusion funding due to age. This child will receive 1:1 inclusion funding for the next academic year. Broad Street were once again successful in receiving renewed WIncKs accreditation for the year 19/20.
## **Safeguarding and Welfare – Karen Millar**
The main policy and procedure review was completed in December and memory sticks containing the complete files were distributed to each site and the Trust. All staff are encouraged to regularly visit these policies to refresh their knowledge. Each site continues to have two Safeguarding Designates to support colleagues with concerns and take the lead in referrals and all staff have continual safeguarding training, both in house and outsourced.
2020’s pandemic has brought change. Families’ and keyworker’ links have had to be flexible to accommodate the staff’s differing patterns of hours and furloughing. Continuity has been achieved by having the small staff teams that remained working throughout as main keyworkers buddying up with the rest of the team. Our sickness and illness policy went through a series of updates too as we carefully followed frequently changing Government guidelines for symptom recognition and exclusions and implemented them. Trips and outings have also been suspended and, whilst the children have adapted positively to their new normal, we look forward to getting out and about again when it is safe to do so.
## **Premises and Equipment – Michelle Smiton**
Annual checks for fire and electrical equipment, alarms, gas boilers and PAT testing have been carried out resulting in all 3 sites having emergency lights replaced. MDK cleaning continue to clean all sites and Alveston also employ an additional cleaner, Quinton and Broad Street have had additional deep cleans. Cleaning companies were suspended over lockdown and staff did a great job of deep cleaning every day. Electricity and waste disposal are supplied by different companies for best deals, and we hope to get a VAT claim for Alveston processed for being wrongly charged.
Small repairs and maintenance have been carried out throughout the year at all sites. Small equipment was purchased as needed. Additional resources for specific children were purchased using extra funding.
## **Marketing – Pippa Evans**
After the last 6 months direct marketing does not seem so relevant however maintaining our standards and reputation is of the greatest importance now more than ever. Cygnets received positive feedback for our handling of the Lockdown and as a consequence we actually start the New Year with relatively good child numbers. Parent communication has been key, regular updates and keeping parents informed using Eylog has worked well.
Views and suggestions enable us to improve ourselves on an ongoing basis so annual feedback forms for parents, children and staff continue to be a valuable tool. Updating our prospectus and website along with Trustee ‘mug shots’ displayed in our settings has helped to improve understanding of the Trust overall. Keeping our website up to date has always seemed difficult to keep on top of, but by making small amendments throughout the year has worked much better and our Facebook page continues to be a positive for both existing and prospective parents. New bright blue children’s uniform was purchased before Christmas and a lovely display was created for our Facebook page to show this off. Children’s hats & hi-vis jackets along with staff fleeces & logo bags are still available to use when we go out on trips & outings. We remain registered with www.daynurseries.co.uk but no longer distribute cards as there is a cost to this. We were able to hold some open events before Lockdown and staff did some lovely activities with the children during this time, some of which have been promoted through newsletters & social media. Celebrations & events will continue to take on a different form for now, but we look forward to what our sites have planned. Fundraising was also limited this year; however we have still been able to continue with some charitable donations.
Our Chair of the Trust has worked incredibly hard this year not just for us but for the Early Years sector in turn promoting Cygnets as an Organisation with the local authority, MPs, NDNA and EYA.
## **Finance – Pippa Evans**
We started the year concerned with issues relating to staff costs, underfunding and the 30-hour offer and this along with changes at our local schools particularly affected Quinton. This, however, did allow for more younger children at 8am and having less school drop-offs/pick-ups was easier to staff. We were overall feeling relatively positive about occupancy and hence income but no one could have predicted how the year would actually pan out, though with careful management of the situation we have finished the year in an ‘ok’ position.
Staff costs are at the front of our mind, we were able to use the furlough scheme to offset some of these costs during our partial closure, meaning we have continued to offer hours to all permanent staff and we fully intend to get back on track with the real living wage when we can.
On site bank access for managers continues to work well and the Alveston Administration Assistant has been liaising with our Accountant, since PJE went on MAT leave to make our monthly wage & PAYE payments, pension uploads and distribution of payslips.
Budgets couldn’t be followed this year and we had to cut spending right back. Necessary repairs have been carried out at all 3 sites and stocks replenished for the start of the New Year. Repairs and purchases being both reported and/or completed by the end of July to allow time for end of year accounting continues to be a problem, whilst there are unusual circumstances this year, due to the pandemic, this will need organising properly next year.

that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
**Tax reclaims on**
**donations and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
**Contractual income and**
**performance related**
**grants**
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
**Donated services and**
**facilities**
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as
income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate
heading in the SOFA.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
**Income from interest,**
**royalties and dividends**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
**Income from membership**
**subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.

|**2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES**
**Liability recognition**
**Redundancy cost**
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
**Deferred income**
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
**Creditors**
**Provisions for liabilities**
**2.4 ASSETS**
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
£500
They are valued at cost.
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.
**Intangible fixed assets**
They are valued at cost.
**Heritage assets**
They are valued at cost.
**Investments**
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.
**Settlement of insurance**
**claims**
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
**Investment gains and**
**losses**
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
**Governance and support**
**costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
**Grants with performance**
**conditions**
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
**Grants payable without**
**performance conditions**
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
**Basic financial**
**instruments**
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
**Tangible fixed assets for**
**use by charity**
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have
physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody
or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
**Stocks and work in**
**progress**
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value
based on the service potential provided by items of stock.||||
