David McGurk of MCA Commercial Services Ltd has examined and prepared our accounts. The majority of income is received from Essex County Council. This year the total was £107,899. Our Fees brought in £15,247. Our total income is £31,159 higher than the previous year as the preschool was running at almost full occupancy which continues into 2023. We were also very fortunate to receive a donation of £3000 from Thorley Pre-school which we used to fund a new Pergola to enhance our outdoor learning area. Our fundraising total for 2022 was £1012 compared to £323 during 2021. Our expenditure totalled £132,730 which is an increase of £16,492 on the previous year. The majority of which is staff wages at £104,562. The balance sheet has cash balances of £70,629 plus net book value of the building and fixtures. The building was funded mainly by Essex County Council in 2007 and that cost £150,000 is being depreciated over 25 years. The yearly depreciation is £6718. Going forward we hope to continue to operate at full or almost full occupancy, we have had to increase our fees from September 2023 in order to remain sustainable due to increasing running costs especially the increase in National Living Wage and changes to the law regarding holiday pay for term time only employees. We have hosted several successful fundraising events such as a Quiz Night and Hall of fun and hope to raise as much as possible this coming year. During the summer holidays the staff ran numerous Forest School and Outdoor learning days to generate some more income for the pre-school, they were very popular so we plan to do this again in the school holidays. We also hope to increase the number of our committee members so we have more support especially with fundraising events.
