Lanivet & District Under Fives TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objects of the CIO are to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age in particular but not exclusively by:

  1. Providing appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that they offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability.

  2. Encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families, promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local areas.

  3. Instigating, adhering to and furthering the aims and objectives of the Preschool Learning Alliance.

Lanivet and District Under Fives is a preschool for children from the ages of 2 until 5. We are led by experienced staff and a volunteer parent committee. Our staff form a dedicated, professional and friendly team with many years of experience. Lanivet and District Under Fives help children to learn and develop through play in a happy and relaxed atmosphere. We focus on each child’s needs and adapt our planning to cater for the needs to provide the children to achieve their full potential. We review all children’s progress termly and then highlight gaps within each child’s learning. The children enjoy a variety of activities both indoors and outside with our wide range of toys, books and up to date play equipment. We also encourage healthy snacks and eating, circle time activities, music and movement, singing and story time.

The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity meets the public benefit through their objectives in consideration of the following:

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Lanivet and District Under Fives started the 2019 Autumn Term with 15 children enrolled, increasing to 28 by the Summer Term in 2020 even though we had a lockdown for coronavirus. We employed 6 permanent members of staff with an increase in part time hours term.

Throughout the setting we operate a ‘key worker’ system. This ensures the children and parents form an attachment to their keyworker through open communication.

The key worker will ensure that every child’s learning is supported, and learning is planned on areas that require improvement. The preschool has a very close relationship with the Lanivet Primary School. We pass all essential information on to them to make the transitions to school as effective and easy for the children as possible.

There is an area opposite the preschool known as the Charity Lands. This area is used by both the school and preschool for outdoor ‘forest school’ type learning, although since the Coronavirus, we haven’t used this area as we have formed learning ‘bubbles’.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income for the year has increased to £77,932 (2019 £74,497). The grant income is restricted income and totals £3,648 (2019 £10,768). The reduction in income reflects the reduction in funded places which is partially made up by the grants received.

Expenditure for the year has decreased to £67,873 (2019 £75,260). Restricted expenditure for the year including capital spend is £5,602 (2019 £9,365).

The surplus for the year is £10,059 (2019 deficit £763) meaning that reserves at the end of the year are £34,430 (2019 £24,371) all of which are unrestricted (2019 £22,417).

The organisation aims to hold 3 months worth of running costs as an unrestricted reserve to cover costs in the event of any unforeseen circumstances. On current operating costs this would be approximately £17,000. In addition, due to past cashflow problems the trustees have determined that a cashflow balance of £10,000 should be kept on an ongoing basis. Thus the free reserves after designated funds are determined as £27,000. There are two designated fund: One which relates to capital purchases that are yet to be depreciated to the income and expenditure account; and one that the trustees have identified in the current year to consider long term sustainability on premises.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Pre-school was originally an unincorporated charity, created in 1992, under the charity commission registration number 1036025. It transferred into a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in September 2015. It is governed by its constitution which is based on the charity commission standard for a foundation CIO and managed by the Board of Trustees.

Anyone who has an interest in the Preschool can apply to be a Trustee. Trustee role descriptions are available on request. Once an individual expresses such interest a self-nomination and declaration form for election as a trustee is completed and signed, as well as a self-assessment form where the new trustee identifies their own experience, knowledge and confidence in a range of relevant areas. Existing trustees will then determine the suitability of each candidate and appoint as applicable subject to our Trustee Code of Conduct being understood and signed.

The Pre-school also works with advice from the Preschool Learning Alliance guidelines.

Taxation

Lanivet & District Under Fives NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Fixtures and Fittings

15% Straight Line

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
