We continue to operate with a small group of trustees (two former parents of preschool children and our two preschool managers), though we hope that new members may join our committee and take on a trustee role, in the future.
Safeguarding - All Trustees are subject to a DBS check and are required to understand their safeguarding responsibilities (as outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education 2024). We undertake regular safeguarding training and have this as a rolling agenda item at our committee meetings.
-
Training and Induction - Trustees meet regularly and work collaboratively on all aspects of the role. Induction and training routinely take place during regular committee meetings. We also access external training when required for example from The Education People or National College.
-
Wider Networks The preschool was the lead setting of a local collaboration of similar settings until the end of the academic year 2023. Since this time, we have continued to work with external professionals, including Early Years Inclusion Advisors, the Local Inclusion Forum Team (consisting of Specialist Teachers, Health Visitors, and Social Services representatives), and a Sufficiency Officer. Pre-school staff continue to work collaboratively with Anthony Roper Primary School staff, notably to support student transitions.
-
Risk Management Committee members review risks during termly meetings and take mitigating action.

Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
-
In terms of our main achievements this academic year (September 2023 to July 2024): • We employ a talented team of Early Educators, led by extremely experienced and knowledgeable managers. Our staff are our most valuable asset, and we remain fortunate to have retained a well-trained team of able and enthusiastic practitioners.
-
• We have delivered high-quality education to the children attending our setting, and working proactively with our parent/carer stakeholders, we are committed to evaluating and wherever possible improving provision.
-
• Last year we gained the Education for Sustainable Development Award, being judged as ‘excellent’ in all areas; this recognises the setting’s significant focus on the environment and on re-using and re-cycling.
-
• We are pleased to have remained financially stable in a very challenging climate for pre-school settings. This has not been the case for a number of local settings that have ceased to exist as a result. In 2023-24, like many settings, we experienced many external factors that increased our outgoings. The efforts of all team members have helped us to navigate this challenging period. Working proactively with the external Sufficiency Officer, subsequently, we have planned and delivered a number of new approaches to help protect the setting financially going forward, despite the ongoing challenges to early years settings nationally.
-
• We have been able to begin to offer the government’s extended 30-hours scheme to our families and have updated our terms and conditions and delivery patterns. We have worked with our families to explore the delivery of suitable and cost-effective extended hours.
-
• We have continued to work hard to try to address the flooding that takes place in one of our gardens. We are extremely keen to resolve this to allow our children full access to the setting’s outdoor space. We have worked proactively with the school, from whom we rent the land, and we have communicated with KCC (in light of the school being a foundation school), and the Environment Agency, who house water monitoring equipment within the plot of land we rent from the school. We are hopefully that our communication with these stakeholders has moved us closer to having this matter resolved, for the benefit of the attending children.
Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
Our policy is to hold the equivalent of a (short) term’s funds as a reserve to enable us to manage cash flow during the autumn terms, when income is lower and to enable us to pay our staff, should the Pre-School need to close for a period due to unforeseen circumstances, such as building damage. We are currently working to build up our reserves following this year’s financial challenges.

Note 2 Accounting policies
2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.
| Recognition of income Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help 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. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. 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; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting 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. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). 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. 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). Legacies 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. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period 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. 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 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 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. 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. 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. |

| 2.4 ASSETS £1 000 Intangible fixed assets Heritage assets 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. They are valued at cost. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least 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 The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts 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 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 They are valued at cost. 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. 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. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition 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. Investment gains and losses The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. 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. They are valued at cost. Investments 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 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. 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. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Debtors 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. |
