## **Trustees Report 2020 - 2021**
‘This report summarises Time Childcare’s year from December 2020 operating as an incorporated charity.
## **1. Trustees.**
We continued for another year with only 3 trustees, one of whom is the setting Manager, which whilst meets minimum requirements for the constitution, this continues to be a significant risk factor to the settings ongoing operation.
We have no volunteer trustees with children who attend the setting, which is an unsustainable situation, despite advertising to parents at regular termly intervals over that past 12 months.
The focus of the trustees has continued to be the provision of high-quality pre-school and after school care for the children of Poringland and surrounding villages. It has been a challenging year, with Covid restrictions impacting on the charity’s ability to operate.
## **2. Developments for Children**
Outside the periods of limited service, due to covid restrictions, the numbers of children’s registering for early years places has increased on the 2020 numbers. The Time Childcare Team continue to focus on the Forest School ethos, ensuring all children have access to the outdoor learning environment and are keen to continue provide good quality outdoor learning, making best use of the resources and opportunities available. Speech and language development has continued using ECAT’s (Every Child a Talker).
## **3. Staffing**
There have been some recent changes in staffing, Lauren Betts, EY Practitioner resigned to pursue a child care role closer to home and our Lead EY Practitioner, Karen Bircham, leaves at the end of 2021 to return to a schools’ early years teaching post. Both posts have been advertised and successfully filled and we look forward to welcoming the new team members in 2022. We also welcomed an early year’s apprentice in the Autumn term.
Stella Presland, TCC Manager continues to double hat as a trustee/manager and providing the link between the trustees and staff.
## **4. Training & Collaborative work**
Time Child Care actively encourages continuous professional development of the staff. All staff have undertaken familiarisation with the new EYFS and guidance documents Birth to 5 and development matter and are using ECAT’s (Every Child a Talker) for speech and language development. As well ensuring they remain up to date with First Aid, Fire and Health and Safety training. Natasha Pearson is undertaking an EYE L3 and Stella Presland TCC Manager, has successfully completed her level 7 qualification in Early Years Education this year.
Partnership with Primary schools in the southern Framingham cluster has continued to flourish with good communication around the needs of children. Information is shared under appropriate protocols. This summer Time Child Care participated in the Big Norfolk Holiday Fun programme (Active Norfolk/NCC) alongside the 13 Timeout Holiday club sessions run.
## **5. Work with parents and carers**

**Time Childcare**
## **Trustees Report 2020 - 2021**
All new parents/carer received a virtual home visit this year using Zoom, due to Covid, which has worked very well. ‘Parent involvement’ is being monitored and reviewed, Tapestry is working well and parents/carers are adding to their child's records
## **6. Grounds and Facilities**
We are tenants of the Poringland Village Hall (PVH) which is owned by the church. The current building is a continued pressure for the staff who have high aspirations for the children in their care. Following a Norfolk County Council commissioned building survey, the manager and trustees have been working hard with the PVH trustees to address the issues highlighted in the outcome report. We were pleased to see that lead paint issue was address and the building repainted outside, with some additional external repairs, but we will continue to work closely with the PVH trustees to ensure the building remains safe for our operations, whist they seek funding for the proposed All Saints Centre.
Sadly, the PVH trustees have decided to recover the costs of the remedial work through doubling the TCC hire fees, which, as a not-for-profit charity, we have to pass onto parents/carers of children attending the setting.
## **7. Finance**
A realistic budget was set for 2020 -21 taking into account statutory minimum wage increases and Covid pressures. This was to ensure the charity continues to cover its costs, operating as a not-for-profit organisation and to ensure appropriate ratios, training for staff and provision for children. Despite the Poringland Village Hall Committee waving hire fees for part of the year, due to a Covid grant, the charity has ended the year with a £6383.29 financial loss.
TCC have also launched a crowd funding campaign, which is on our website home landing page. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/new-premises-for-time-childcare
## **8. Trustee Plans for the Next Year 2021 – 2022.**
- Work closely with the manager to prepare for an Ofsted inspection
- Continue to monitor the budget to ensure the charity is financially secure and in line with the plan which will enable funding for training and resources.
- Continue to work with Poringland Parish Council to seek land to build a purpose built childcare provision.
- Continue to work with the manager to drive crowd funding campaign to raise £800,000 to support the new premises drive.
- Continue to work with the manager/team to explore opportunities for maximising income (operational revenue, fundraising and grants)
- Recruit further trustees who will be able to give the warranted time to the role, maintain a good level of communication and create a level of succession planning
- Follow the timetable for the review and agreement of policies
- Continue to support staff in achieving their qualifications which in turn will enhance provision.

**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year **trustees and examiner** under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
## It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
**Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
**Independent** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention **examiner's statement** (other than that disclosed below *)
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
