Report to Financial Accounts 31 March 2022 

The effects of the pandemic continued to impact the setting in the last financial year, this is especially seen in our fundraising, as we have been unable to fundraise at all. 

Profits continue to rise with a further increase of £8,240 demonstrating the continued viability of the setting and that income and costs are well controlled, providing a small surplus thus raising capital balances to £76,181 which provides the setting with a buffer to allow for any unexpected expenditure. 

Incoming resources are up from previous year by £139,146 owing to an increase in fees & HCC grants. This is due to an increase in the number of children we have on register in our care, an increase in the hourly rate for early years grant funding and an increase in our hourly fees. 

Food and milk saw a slight reduction as a cheaper supplier was sourced but would anticipate this rising this financial year due to inflation. 

Staff costs have risen by £118,243 owing to the hiring of more staff which are required to cover ratios with the increase in the number of children on register, an increase in the national minimum wage and an increase in staff wages to keep us competitive with other local settings. This also includes costs for staff attending training and after hours Continuous Professional Development. 

Rent, rates & water has decreased and reduced by £10,994. Rent is calculated on income and as the setting was classed as below good, there was a restriction on enrolling new funded children for a substantial period, as well as the impact on service delivery, because of the covid pandemic. 

Light & heat & sundries have doubled on the previous year. The setting pays a proportion of the whole building’s utilities and in the previous financial year Hampshire County Council staff worked the majority of the time from home, however, they have now returned meaning that the usage has increased, as more service providers are using the building. 

Subscriptions have risen due to the procurement of a more effective staff management system (Chronicle timekeeping), better broadband, better software, and IT services. 

Professional fees have also increased by £4,001 owing to training of staff. 

Interest and capital on Bounce Back Loan is now payable but the balance is reducing, from £50,000 to £44,167 at year end.
