Structure, Governance & Management

Ringstead Robins Pre-School previously had a standard registration with the Charities Commission as Ringstead Playgroup number 1030590. The organisation became a registered CIO on 15[th] April 2019 and is governed by its constitution. Trustees are a mixture of staff / volunteers/parents and appointed as necessary throughout the year when a position becomes available. The potential new trustee is approved by the committee as suitable for the position at a meeting and then subsequently undergoes an induction and DBS check as standard practice.

Ringstead Playgroup was removed from the Charity Commission register on 11[th] October 2019. All assets and liabilities were transferred to the new CIO Ringstead Robins Pre-School on 5[th] September 2019.

.

Objectives & Activities

We are committed to providing the highest quality childcare at the lowest possible price, in line with our non profit-making CIO status.

We work hard to ensure that all of the children in our care have a fulfilling and fun time with us. We understand that, in order for a child to thrive, it is important for them to feel good about themselves, and we place great emphasis on developing their confidence and self esteem. These are qualities that are essential to successful learning.

Public Benefit Statement

We provide a high quality childcare facility at the lowest possible price. We serve the local village community and surrounding towns and villages. We also work closely with the local school to ensure the transition from pre-school to big school is seamless.

Achievements and Performance:

Returning to the setting in September was a happy occasion at Ringstead Robins as Donna who had been on long term sick after successful completing her treatment for Breast Cancer. We welcomed 23 children into the setting which is our busiest September to date. September is normally quiet after many of the children transition into school but with local closures of nearby settings we find ourselves in the position with a waiting list and at capacity. Financially this is good for Robins but a very busy start to the academic year for our staff. We unfortunately have made our Cleaner redundant as the staff felt they could incorporate the cleaning duties into their working day.

The majority of children who attend our Pre-school are from word of mouth or have siblings previously attending which is testament to our dedicated staff. We have also maintained a “Good” status from Ofsted when we were assessed in October 22.

We have tried this year to limit spending on toys/equipment in preparation for the additional costs of the contributory pension schemes and rises in national minimum wage and utility bills. We have received news that the land at the back of Ringstead Robins which was gifted by the Parish Council is going to be renovated. It is a small, fenced garden area which the Parish Council have kindly agreed to employ contractors to level out, dig out and turf with Astroturf which will provide Robins with additional space which can be used all year round. The works will be taking place in 2024.

Financial Review:

We currently have £23.8k in our current account and £2400 in our fundraising/savings account (we held a big Easter Raffle which raised over £400. We are working to prepare a budget and forecasting tool for next year to ensure we work to set budgets and can forecast efficiently to build up reserves and maintain current funds.

All fundraising activities are due to restart and ideas will be brainstormed at the next AGM which is due to take place February 2024. A fundraising strategy is in place for the next financial year.

3 of our employees are still auto-enrolled in the NEST pension scheme who fit the criteria. We increased our fees in September 23 to £14.50 per session and £5.00 for lunch session.

Reserves Policy

At Ringstead Robins Pre-School we want to ensure that we have sufficient funds in our Working Capital account to enable the day to day running of our setting. We want also to ensure that we have funds available to meet any specific costs should the pre-school have to close.

Levels of cash in Reserves

We aim to hold a level of cash in reserve based on 6 months of our present annual running costs

This amount should cover:

We will:

Plans for the future

Our main objective is to ensure we can continue to run the setting safely for children and staff alike whilst being financially efficient and ensuring we are providing the very highest level of childcare possible.

At the start of September‘23 we have 23 children re-starting which is due to increase in January 24.

We are also devising a recruitment strategy to ensure we can replace the children that will be leaving the setting in July’24 to go to school so our numbers remain stable in September’24.

This report was approved by the trustees at a management meeting held on 3[rd] February 2024 and signed on their behalf

Structure, Governance & Management

Ringstead Robins Pre-School previously had a standard registration with the Charities Commission as Ringstead Playgroup number 1030590. The organisation became a registered CIO on 15[th] April 2019 and is governed by its constitution. Trustees are a mixture of staff / volunteers/parents and appointed as necessary throughout the year when a position becomes available. The potential new trustee is approved by the committee as suitable for the position at a meeting and then subsequently undergoes an induction and DBS check as standard practice.

Ringstead Playgroup was removed from the Charity Commission register on 11[th] October 2019. All assets and liabilities were transferred to the new CIO Ringstead Robins Pre-School on 5[th] September 2019.

Objectives & Activities

We are committed to providing the highest quality childcare at the lowest possible price, in line with our non profit-making CIO status.

We work hard to ensure that all of the children in our care have a fulfilling and fun time with us. We understand that, in order for a child to thrive, it is important for them to feel good about themselves, and we place great emphasis on developing their confidence and self esteem. These are qualities that are essential to successful learning.

Public Benefit Statement

We provide a high quality childcare facility at the lowest possible price. We serve the local village community and surrounding towns and villages. We also work closely with the local school to ensure the transition from pre-school to big school is seamless.

Achievements and Performance:

Returning to the setting in September was a happy occasion at Ringstead Robins as Donna who had been on long term sick after successful completing her treatment for Breast Cancer. We welcomed 23 children into the setting which is our busiest September to date. September is normally quiet after many of the children transition into school but with local closures of nearby settings we find ourselves in the position with a waiting list and at capacity. Financially this is good for Robins but a very busy start to the academic year for our staff. We unfortunately have made our Cleaner redundant as the staff felt they could incorporate the cleaning duties into their working day.

The majority of children who attend our Pre-school are from word of mouth or have siblings previously attending which is testament to our dedicated staff. We have also maintained a “Good” status from Ofsted when we were assessed in October 22.

We have tried this year to limit spending on toys/equipment in preparation for the additional costs of the contributory pension schemes and rises in national minimum wage and utility bills. We have received news that the land at the back of Ringstead Robins which was gifted by the Parish Council is going to be renovated. It is a small, fenced garden area which the Parish Council have kindly agreed to employ contractors to level out, dig out and turf with Astroturf which will provide Robins with additional space which can be used all year round. The works will be taking place in 2024.

Financial Review:

We currently have £23.8k in our current account and £2400 in our fundraising/savings account (we held a big Easter Raffle which raised over £400. We are working to prepare a budget and forecasting tool for next year to ensure we work to set budgets and can forecast efficiently to build up reserves and maintain current funds.

All fundraising activities are due to restart and ideas will be brainstormed at the next AGM which is due to take place February 2024. A fundraising strategy is in place for the next financial year.

3 of our employees are still auto-enrolled in the NEST pension scheme who fit the criteria. We increased our fees in September 23 to £14.50 per session and £5.00 for lunch session.

Reserves Policy

At Ringstead Robins Pre-School we want to ensure that we have sufficient funds in our Working Capital account to enable the day to day running of our setting. We want also to ensure that we have funds available to meet any specific costs should the pre-school have to close.

Levels of cash in Reserves

We aim to hold a level of cash in reserve based on 6 months of our present annual running costs

This amount should cover:

We will:

Plans for the future

Our main objective is to ensure we can continue to run the setting safely for children and staff alike whilst being financially efficient and ensuring we are providing the very highest level of childcare possible.

At the start of September‘23 we have 23 children re-starting which is due to increase in January 24.

We are also devising a recruitment strategy to ensure we can replace the children that will be leaving the setting in July’24 to go to school so our numbers remain stable in September’24.
