Annual Report 2021/22 Cygnets Education and Childcare Trust (CIO) Charity number 1160913

Our guide to action for the New Year is to streamline staffing and child numbers, adjusting place numbers to the real situation, in order to take away some of the pressure on teams, still dealing with staff shortages and higher levels of absence. This strategy remains in line with our business plan, as it should also help to ensure our financial stability; so 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. We will not be able to offer as many places as we could, to meet demand, but we will be better able to provide a consistent, viable service in these difficult times, respecting the needs of families and staff.

Last Year 1 parent trustee stood down, as work changes meant we were no longer catering for her children, but she remains an invaluable contact to give us help when needed. We thank Catherine particularly for her expertise in explaining potentially difficult matters to families. A new parent trustee was recruited for our Quinton site and Broad Street was covered by a foundation trustee, who is also a parent, we were not able to successfully replace the parent trustee at Alveston but we hope this will soon change. The challenges of distance and travel for 2 of our remaining 6 trustees has meant that hybrid meetings, with Zoom calls as needed that became normal last year, will continue. We acknowledge that this is a particularly difficult time to be a Trustee, in some ways more so than in the midst of the pandemic, as we reach into the 3[rd] year of our recovery plan we thank them for ‘holding fast’ and working hard to see it achieved.

Chair's Report

This report is an executive summary with key facts, for a fuller report see the 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 31/08/22.

We started the year 2021/2 with215 children on roll, slightly down on the previous year, when we thought it would increase, but by the end of the year we had 258 on roll; of those children 110 were in receipt of some sort of funding. All sites received some additional Early Years Pupil Premium funding but this was not a large amount. By summer Alveston had 72.72% of nursery places grant funded, virtually all taken during the core hours, Broad Street 67% but with a greater spread, indicating extending hours was the right thing to do for that site. At Quinton it was 48% though during core hours 68% of that funding was used, bringing them more in line with the other sites.

It is apparent that Alveston and Broad Street are more balanced across all age ranges, even allowing for Alveston having a baby room, this next year we would expect a similar pattern. Quinton will always have more younger children, not in receipt of funding, due to the local school nurseries, but to make a success of that site bookings have to be carefully spread, both in rooms and across the year, something that we did not fully succeed in doing in the reporting year.

At the beginning of the year we had 41 staff rising to 45 by the end of the year, more staff than we have ever had. This number being not just attributable to the need for increased staffing, at the expanded Broad Street, but because we found more staff wanted to work only part time hours. Parents too wanted less hours per place, so roll numbers needed to be higher to fill sessions. As the year progressed demand for more places rose, to the extent that we had difficulties meeting it. Staff shortages and difficulty recruiting, that were an issue the previous year, became even more acute, a sector and countrywide problem. At one point Quinton was only able to operate at 50% capacity but since then things have markedly improved. We have worked hard to devise and implement new operating models, to maximise the number of places we can offer, across the age ranges, with the staff we have. As we have stated, to give consistency of provision for families, but also to take some of the pressure from staff and for that matter trustees, we have all at times felt the stressof a particularly trying year.

We retained 3 Early Years Professionals and the majority of staff remained qualified to level III or above, some with degrees, plus some at level II, some bank staff and 3 trainees, with unqualified or alternatively qualified in support roles to complete our teams. We took advantage of apprenticeship schemes to help with training and will continue to do so, to hopefully increase and better skill our staff for the future. There were 3 Time to Talk champions, a forest school leader and another forest school trained, plus a drama, music and dance teacher in our teams. Additionally we held 1 WIncKS award (Warwickshire Inclusion Kitemark scheme) and I Makaton accreditation.

HR support remained contracted out to Avensure, an external company, and most cleaning requirements were also externally met by Service Master Clean. We banked with Lloyds and Nick Frost from AIMS Accountants provided a financial service, now replaced by Filan Accountants. The Legal and General pension scheme met all regulatory requirements.

The 5 year business plan entered the 2[nd] year with little adjustment and with the capital works at Broad Street completed the focus shifted to building up numbers to match the new offer on that site.Recovery was the continued emphasis on the other 2 sites with Alveston achieving this, even with staffing shortage issues. Changes to the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory requirements were worked through, despite the difficulties of getting managers and area leads together and finding time to cascade training and guidance to teams.

All areas of the requirements were reviewed by lead managers, reporting directly to the Trust. Annual fee and salary reviews were undertaken, our Reserves policy was looked at in the year at agreed points, along with financial and other key documents. Karen was able to update the Trust on Safeguarding, Trustee training will be provided and onsite training requirements have been kept up. Towards the end of the year Quinton had their regulatory Ofsted inspection and over the summer holiday Alveston had theirs, both sites did very well, coming out with overall good ratings.

Information & Records- LMF

What was said in the last report unfortunately remains true, information & record keeping is still suffering a bit from the time restraints caused by the pandemic. Reviews of all operational areas were held, referenced below, with key documents & policies updated, but better organisation of document distribution and storage should be an aim for the new year. All relevant documents are available via on-site office computers, but sometimes not easily found, and some are still on the Avensure locker. Whilst still waiting for an overhaul, managers need to continue to check with each other to ensure they use the most up to date documents and continue to back up office PCs to external hard drives.

How we use the archive room upstairs at Broad Street became an issue, documents and other items being dumped in the room without proper sorting or even if they were appropriate to store in the area. This situation in part came about because some toys and equipment had to be moved to facilitate the building improvement works, that took place prior to the start of last year. The dispute with Shred-it to recycle our confidential paperwork, after a confidentiality breach on their part, has not helped, as paperwork that would otherwise have been destroyed has instead been moved to the archive room. Annual archiving tasks have slipped but as soon as possible these issues need addressing. Future planning will be to install purpose-built shelving, to store archived documents, decide on the best method of document destruction and give more training and guidance to staff.

Within the area of information and Records the Master Operational Plan folder was reviewed and changes made, the Control of Information policy was similarly reviewed and judged to still be appropriate. Fee information was updated for parents, new rates were uploaded to our website, with other annual updates; we continue to work on ensuring that these sheets and others given to parents are as clear as possible.

Suitable People – Sam Allison

Staffing continues to be a challenge although this is not particular to our Organisation, it is a universal problem across the Early Years sector. We have managed to continue to use the services of one member of Agency staff at Quinton, although agencies themselves have struggled to recruit and have been unable to provide additional cover staff when requested. As an Organisation we have been able to take advantage of the lower numbers during Broad Street’s holiday periods as well as asking part time staff to work increased hours to cover staff holidays and high levels of staff sickness.

At Broad Street a level III assistant left to become a full time nanny and our unqualified assistant moved out of Early Years. We were joined by 2 level II assistants, a level III Supervisor and a Trainee. We had a Supervisor at Broad Street move from that role to take up a Manager’s position at Quinton.

At Alveston we lost 2 level III Supervisors, one moved out of Education and the other left to move to Australia. 2 level III assistants went on maternity leave. We had a returnee as a level III member of bank staff and were joined by a trainee. The Quinton site had two Managers go on maternity leave, the cook left but the role was taken over by our new cook. 2 new trainee’s joined us as 2 others both moved on to term time only settings. In addition to a new Manager, the team was joined by a level III assistant, a level II assistant (currently training for level III) and an experienced unqualified assistant, all assistants working on a part time basis. 2 supervisors took on the role of ‘Person in Charge’ for the times when the manager is not in the setting. We continue to use Avensure for all of our HR support and have sort their advice throughout the year on day to day matters as well as more complicated issues.

Training – Sam Allison

We have one trainee at each site working toward their level III qualification, a level II at Quinton working on level III and a level III at Broad Street who has signed up to start a level VI qualification. As always essential Statutory training takes priority. A First Aid course was bought in from ‘First Response Training’, keeping the qualified staff up to date. Safeguarding training is accessed through Warwickshire Early Years for new DSL’s and DSL refreshers as well as Level 1 training for ‘new to Early Years’ recruits. The standard Safeguarding refresher is no long offered with the assumption that DSL’s will provide refresher training for their own staff in house. Safeguarding training in some form continues to be carried out at every staff training event. Additional CPD continues to be hindered with staff teams being stretched to cover due to sickness and holidays. Managers have continued where possible to attend online County Manager’s meetings when they are offered. We have also accessed online SEN surgeries across the sites.

Learning & Development – Sam Allison

Learning and Development meetings along with other cross site meetings took a back seat whilst we prioritised keeping rooms open. Staff cover and day to day matters had to take priority with Manager’s and area Lead’s being unable to spare the time. However this year did see more of a return to ‘normal’ with our classroom practice. Previously suspended activities (due to Covid measures) have been reintroduced and we have been able to invite parents back into our settings for parent appointments and special events. L & D meetings were re started at the end of the year where holiday planning was streamlined across the Organisation. We have continued to work on sharing practice to smoothdifferences in the delivery of our Learning & Development across the Organisation.

Safeguarding and Welfare with SEND – Karen Millar

All three sites are led in Safeguarding and Welfare by the DSLs (Designated Safeguarding Leads) who attend training every two years. They work closely together, supporting each other as needed, especially at times where one DSL is absent such as on Maternity Leave. ‘New to Safeguarding in Early Years and childcare practice training’ is available for staff when they first begin in childcare. Previously we would have then kept their training up to date with Warwickshire Early Years courses every three years but these are no longer available. It is now the responsibility of the DSLs to provide this training in house and we have planned to do so in our next Organisation training day in the new year. Safeguarding concerns are now reported to the Front Door (County Organisation)- rather than MASH and new flowcharts have been produced and displayed in our settings.

Recruitment has been hard over this last year, we know this to be the case throughout Childcare. We maintained ratios by sharing staff across the Organisation and using a local agency to support our permanent teams.

New cooks were introduced on two of our sites and menus updated as we continue to provide healthy and varied meals. No changes had been made to our medicine, accident/injury and existing injuries policies or procedures. We regularly update our Exclusion periods List due to the ever changing guidance on Covid 19. All three sites continued to support children with special educational needs and disabilities, liaising with families and other professionals to provide equal opportunities for all.

Premises and Equipment – Michelle Smiton

Annual checks for fire and electrical equipment, alarms, gas boilers and PAT testing have been carried out across all sites. Quinton have had their 5 year electrical test completed and any immediate requirements arising from this have been fixed.

We were insured once again by Markel International Insurance Company Limited and our PRS (music and performance licences) and TV licenses were renewed.

Electricity suppliers remain the same with Alveston and Broad Street using EON and Quinton are with Opus. For refuse collection, Broad Street use Bromsgrove District Council, Quinton Grundon and Alveston are with Biffa. Quinton and Alveston both use Green bottoms for collections of their nappy and sanitary waste. Service Master (MDK) still cleans all 3 sites and Alveston continue to employ an additional cleaner.

Some Internal decoration was completed at Broad Street and externally at Quinton. At Alveston, the lino was replaced in one classroom, the entrance hallway and nappy room. Other repairs, maintenance and gardening have been carried out throughout the year at all sites when required.

Equipment was purchased as needed across the sites e.g. 2 replacement dishwashers, storage units and sleep mats at Alveston. A microwave, hoover and baby changing unit at Broad Street and at Quinton a washing machine and tumble drier. Summer spending on a range of items for all will be of benefit in the coming year.

Marketing - LMF

Without the need for direct marketing maintaining our reputation remains the greatest importance, especially with temporary closures due to staff shortages still possible, though we usually avoid them by sharing staff across the Organisation. The relaxing of the access rules, that were put in place during the pandemic, led to much greater direct engagement with families but parent communication through regular updates and keeping parents informed using email, newsletters and Eylog continued.

Marketing is not just about filing current places, it looks to the future and ensures we keep up our profile and are known, to aid recruitment as well as having a feel good factor and pride in our settings. Parents and families are pleased when activities are broadcast and events are arranged that involve them so they must always be factored in, post pandemic this is becoming easier, though events still had to be slimmed down or cancelled last year. We made much greater use of our facebook page, which in previous years was almost dormant, and this seems to have been appreciated. As ever such updates, including the website, rely on a manager taking the time to do them so we hope this can be kept up. Having logo items in use, particularly when out and about also remains important.

Finance – LMF

Our treasurer being on maternity leave the lead responsibility for this area has come to rest with the Chair, for the time being. Thank-you to Pippa, your report writing and chasing of managers and the accountant has been missed. The biggest change last year was the shock retirement of our accountant, who had dealt with our financial affairs for well over a decade. The process of finding a new accountant took a bit of time, until we found the one we felt best met our criteria. The Trust settled on Filan Accountants, as they came with a recommendation, were locally based and quoted professionally and fairly for all the services we wanted. We also liked not being with a single accountant, working on their own, or a larger firm that did not understand us as a small charity. As a mid range firm we hope Filan will future proof us for our growing needs and any changes. We have altered some ways of working since we joined Filan and a few things will need refining into the new year, the monthly managers financial meeting should help with the process. Arrangements for payroll, pension and tax payments have remained the same but only managers have direct bank access on site.

We budgeted to make a loss at our Broad Street site in the 1[st] year of operating as a year round full daycare nursery, rather than term time only setting. We did not budget for other losses, of any magnitude, but fortunately Alveston did well, offsetting Quinton’s performance, so overall losses were as projected. Alveston in large part did better than expected due

to managers and office staff having to give so much cover in the classroom, with no agency or other staff paid to cover. This situation is not what we want, as it leads to other areas being neglected, what it did mean for the site was a commensurately larger amount allocated by the Trust for summer spending. On all sites stocks were replenished and other necessary maintenance and equipment replacements were organised for the start of the new year. Next year we hope sums allocated can be augmented by more fund raising and possible grants if available.

The financial concerns caused by the pandemic differed from the previous year, with staffing shortages rather than occupancy being the main issue. In the new year staffing may ease but inflation and running costs, especially how to pay staff in line with the real living wage, when income doesn’t proportionally increase, will be more of the challenge. The loss of flexibility we had to introduce, with tighter booking patterns, will have to continue into the new year. If we get an appropriate level of government funding and parents are in a better position, to pay what is needed of the rest, then this will be reviewed, that future seems a long way off at the moment.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Recognition of income
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
 the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
 it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;
 the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
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.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless
required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
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.
Offsetting
Grants and donations
Note 2 Accounting policies
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
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.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Legacies
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts
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.
Income from membership
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
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.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
Support costs
2.2 INCOME
Donated goods
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
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).
Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.

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
Liability recognition

constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14.
They are valued at cost.
Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Provisions for liabilities
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
Stocks and work in
progress
subscriptions
Heritage assets
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.
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.
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.
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
Investment gains and
losses
Settlement of insurance
claims
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.
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.
Governance and support
costs
Creditors
Redundancy cost
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
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.

Debtors

Current asset investments

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.

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

The charity has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity of loss than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due.

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.
