Report to Financial Accounts 31 March 2023
The accumulative effects of COVID, national minimum wage, employer's taxation, pension, and cost of living increases along with uncertainty regarding staff has made for a very challenging financial year.
A deficit for the year of £87,806.00 demonstrates the financial pressures the setting has been under, reducing capital balances to a loss of £11,625.00.
Incoming resources are down from the previous year by £10,957.00, with the base level funding rates having been increased this shows a reluctance to commit to offering a maximum number of spaces due to the ongoing nationwide staffing crisis within the early years sector.
The cost of food and milk has seen an increase of £10,418.00 due to inflation and an increase in children with specific dietary requirements requiring specific and often more expensive food items.
Staff costs have risen by £74,197.00 due to national minimum wage increases, general pay increases to remain competitive, hiring a second SENCO (both of which are not in ratio) to help with the increase in demand for a provision that has a high level of SEN needs and the supply of meals while in the process of hiring of a chef.
Rent, rates and water have increased by £2,233.00.
Light, heat and sundries reduced by £579.00, we pay a proportion of the whole building's utilities, the Hampshire County Council staff have for most of the time been hybrid working (a few days in the office and a few days working from home).
Subscriptions have reduced by £1,046.00 due to cost efficacy measures being taken and the streamlining of processes.
Professional fees have also increased by £1,405.00 due to a general increase in cost of services. Staff training has also doubled to £1,292.00 (an increase of £692.00) as we endeavour to maintain a well-informed workforce.
Interest and capital on Bounce Back Loan is now £38,508.00, a reduction of £5,659.00 from £44,167.00 at previous year end.
