TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year from 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The objects of the Charity are to advance the education of the children at the breakfast club, pre-school and after school club in particular by:

Page 1

KALEIDOSCOPE CHILDCARE

• i. Developing effective relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the breakfast club, preschool and after school club and including people in the local community;

• ii. Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the pre-school and advance the education of the pre-school children;

• iii. Providing facilities or equipment which support the before and after school care and development of children under the age of 12.

The Trustees have carried out the charitable objects and purposes of the Charity throughout the year for the public benefit by running the facilities for the benefit of the advancement of education for the children that attend the setting. This is evidenced by the numbers of children attending the pre-school during the year and the children that attended the reduced after-school club.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Charity

The numbers across all elements of the charity, including breakfast and after school club are at high levels with waiting lists for spaces in the Ladybird and Butterfly rooms.

The Charity works hard to support children from all different backgrounds and areas of our society and as part of this the preschool has a wider cultural curriculum. The Pre-school has been growing fruit and vegetables to help the children learn about growth and change in nature. The preschool continues to enjoy regular visits from a specialist music teacher and those sessions are well received and enjoyed by the children.

Following the completion of the refurbishment of the garden, after a considerable donation from a local resident who organised a Christmas concert in the village, we are very pleased with the result and the children have responded positively to the new equipment.

The Charity’s staff remain its biggest asset and we are very lucky to have a committed and enthusiastic team. We are very proud to be able to support our staff’s development through training and continuing personal development. One member of staff is currently working on their Level 3 qualification. We will continue to support further development for our members of staff who show an interest in progressing their careers. Our staff have continued to show amazing commitment to their work, the Charity and most importantly the children in their care and we thank them for all their hard work and dedication. It has been a challenging year with losing four members of the team however, the team seems to be in good spirits and seem to be more focused and joined up in their approach. The staff seem to all be working together and supporting each other which is really lovely to see. Claire C has just finished her SENCO training course and has really enjoyed this and is considering doing the EYT. Sam B is considering undertaking a level 4 course. Sam S. hasn't yet finished but we are hopeful that she will complete before Christmas.

Holiday clubs were run at Easter and in the summer holidays, the attendance was good and a small profit was made. We will continue to develop in this area to make it more financially viable to run them on a regular basis.

On the 9th March a very successful Garden force day was held where parents and staff worked together to clean and fix up the gardens ready for spring. This went really well and we would like to make this an annual event.

We have managed to secure a £5,000 grant from the Kent Community Foundation towards the outside play area for the Ladybird room, £2,500 has gone towards a climbing frame and the additional £2,500 will go towards a shelter to be completed in October 2024 with £900 also coming from the collaboration fund later in the year. We also secured a £1,000 grant towards staff costs from ASDA and £1,200 to spend in store from Dobbies to help

Page 2

KALEIDOSCOPE CHILDCARE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

towards transforming the garden areas, this has been spent on plants, compost, sand, garden equipment etc. At Christmas we managed to raise an incredible £861 with the raffle and we will continue our fund raising efforts by asking for small donations from local businesses for our next Christmas charity raffle as well as doing a Christmas card fundraising with parents and encouraging parents to join easy fundraising cashback scheme. Fund raising remains an important asset to the improvement of facilities at Kaleidoscope. Spring funding for two year olds was announced at the rate of £7.55 and £5.15 for three year olds, we will also receive a 30p supplement an hour per child been agreed for Kim as Early Years Teacher. We have agreed to use this money as a budget for the rooms as well as after school club to allow them to purchase resources termly. The remainder of the money will be used to replace any large items and help towards the pre-school leavers trip.

Aldington Parish council donated three wooden garden picnic benches to us (one large and two small), made by local carpenter Colin.

We sought quotes to repair the whole of the Ladybird roof and fascia’s, the cheapest being with Wanstall for £9,480, works completed in the summer holidays. We will now look at replacing the fascia boards of the older part of the building so that they all match. A parent has offered to help with this if we can purchase the plastic fascia boards.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Financial performance

Fee income showed a significant increase to £263,296 (2023 - £198,315) and charitable expenditure showed a comparable increase to £254,663 (2023 - £189,958). Donations and grants received amounted to £6,750 (2023 - £1,131) of which £5,000 (2023 - £Nil) was restricted. Fundraising income decreased to £1,361 (2023 - £4,694) and the related fundraising expenditure increased to £207 (2023 - £20). Investment income showed a significant increase to £1,682 (2023 - £692).

Overall, the charity achieved a surplus for the year of £18,219 (2023 - £14,854).

At the reporting date, reserves were standing at £104,797 (2023 - £86,578) of which £2,500 (2023 - £Nil) is in respect of restricted funds. The trustees aim to hold reserves of at least 3 months expenditure and this is currently being achieved.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

Kaleidoscope Childcare is a registered charity, number 1171100, and is constituted under a CIO Foundation dated 12 January 2017.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the CIO Foundation.

c. Related party relationships

their employment activities and not their roles as charity trustees. See note 11 for further information. d.

Financial risk management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Page 4

KALEIDOSCOPE CHILDCARE

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the CIO Foundation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Kaleidoscope Childcare ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 July 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

Page 5

KALEIDOSCOPE CHILDCARE

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Kaleidoscope Childcare meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Page 8

KALEIDOSCOPE CHILDCARE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

1.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

1.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Accounting policies (continued)

1.4 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Fixtures and fittings - 15%

1.6 Debtors

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

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

1.9 Financial instruments

Page 10

KALEIDOSCOPE CHILDCARE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024

1.

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Accounting policies (continued)

1.10 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

1.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

2. General information

Kaleidoscope Childcare is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales under number 1171100. The registered office of the company is Roman Road, Aldington, Ashford, Kent, TN25 7EE.
