Trustees Annual Report

The trustees of Chiddingstone Nursery CIO are aware of the guidance on public benefit. We have taken it into account when making a decision to which the guidance is relevant.

Main Achievements:

Embedding new leadership – the new management team and trustees have successfully settled into their new roles despite the challenges of the Nursery Leader having a period of sick leave for a broken ankle. It was testament to the staff team’s dedication that they managed so well in her absence, stepping up into new roles, filling in extra hours and generally keeping everything going for the children’s benefit.
Managing sick leave – during the Nursery Leader’s period of working from home as part of her recovery we got ahead on updating policies, refreshing the curriculum and setting out training plans.
Renovations – Thanks to a workplace grant from a parent the PTA were able to renovate the front garden in Spring 2024.
Fundraising - We continued to benefit from fantastic engagement with parents via the PTA and their fundraising efforts, running a very successful colour run event in May 2024 raising £1,320.
Financial Prudence - We continued to focus on financial prudence and sourced a new budget template tool from the Early Years Alliance and a breakeven analysis from The Education People to better forecast and manage our costs and overall budget.
Safeguarding – we continued to monitor and adhere to the strictest safeguarding practices. In addition we strengthened our staff code of conduct re communication between staff and parents and implemented a new centralised email system to allow management to access staff emails if and when necessary.
Funding - The nursery continues to offer funded places through Kent County Council, thus making it accessible to all families. We started to offer new funding for 2 year olds as part of the Working Parent entitlement.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The trustees’ objectives were met as follows:

Staff:

All appraisals completed with Nursery Leader.
Pay was increased for all staff in April 2024 in line with living wage increase.
The committee recognised the need to support staff in sickness and introduced 5 days’ paid sick leave.
We were delighted to welcome Mrs Still to the practitioner team and help fund her Level 3 training with us
Staff survey had very positive results:
“Staff feel more included in the running of the nursery. Our ideas and opinions are valued and issues are listened to and acted upon”
“positive and supportive place to work”
“Current leadership seems to be working very well”

Trustees Annual Report

Committee:

Committee remains strong with new members elected at AGM.
Continuous drive to get more parents onto the committee to ensure a pipeline of support for trustee roles.
We completed Successful Charity training with The Education People and continued to update our welcome pack and handover file.

Safeguarding:

All new guidelines adhered to. The process for reporting concerns is presented at every committee meeting.
All policies up to date.
Relevant training completed and monitored via the Committee Central Record.

Parent involvement:

As part of the AGM parents were sent the Annual Accounts and the Trustees’ annual plan.
A parent questionnaire was created and issued. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive: 100% saying their child was very happy or happy and 100% rating care as good or outstanding. Constructive feedback was listened to and implemented where possible.
Fees were increased in January 2024 by 10% following a freeze last year. Ts and Cs updated to reflect our right to put fees up every year.
The number of totally free spaces for over 3-year-olds was reviewed in line with financial projections for 2023 to ensure we were meeting the provider agreement, and to ensure the nursery is accessible to all.
Parent survey:
“Outstanding staff, home away from home.”
“I am pleased with ALL aspects of the nursery. The staff, the facilities, the environment, the grounds & opportunities. The care and love from staff.”
“The beautiful new interior makes such a difference to the nursery space.”
“The staff are always happy to help, answer queries, they are super friendly and approachable. They do a great job with the children”

FINANCIAL REVIEW

For the year ended 31/ 08/2024 the charity had an income over expenditure surplus of £13,273 (2024) compared to £13,369 (2023), the surplus is carried forward to next year to further fund the charities objectives.

The Charity’s reserve policy is to meet redundancy liabilities equal to statutory redundancy pay; provide general contingency reserves equal to a minimum of three months of average total expenditure of the last two years, excluding any rental and exceptional expenditure; and provide rental contingency reserves equal to one year of total expenditure as per the current lease agreement. As at 31/08/2024 the reserve held was £108,407.

The following are the principal risks facing the charity:

Competition from local nurseries offering longer hours or more funding (e.g. 30 hours or from 9 months for working parents) or Forest School

Docusign Envelope ID: 12B4ED0B-460F-4280-8F27-ED9CB8AD25AE

Chiddingstone Nursery School CIO

Trustees Annual Report

Underfunding from central government. The funding we receive barely covers the running costs of providing the contracted hours of education.
The potential for rent and utilities to increase costs if the landlord renegotiates the lease
Staff succession planning bearing in mind the length of tenure of a lot of our staff.
The principal source of funds comes from fees and this was 53% of annual income in the period ended 31/08/2024.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Our main concern for the near future is the rising cost of living for parents and staff alike. Kent County Council barely matches the cost of operation and it is unlikely to increase sufficiently. We are a charity committed to providing outstanding childcare to the local community, irrespective of their financial situation. This means we need to rely on our prudent financial planning to avoid passing rising costs on to parents where possible, whilst ensuring staff pay increases in line with the Living Wage, their training, skills and loyalty.

Our rent has remained static for a number of years now, and any change in this in future will affect our ability to keep childcare costs as low as possible for parents.

We will be looking at feasibility of opening earlier and testing a summer holiday club in an effort to boost income.

We do not see any other major financial issues on the horizon.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The charity is a CIO, registered with the Charity Commission, with a board of trustees with a wide variety of experience. The Charity adopted and follows the Model CIO Constitution for Childcare Providers 2013.

The Charity upholds the following trustee selection method and policies:

(1) There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or to appoint a new charity trustee.

(2) The maximum number of charity trustees is 12. The charity trustees may not appoint any charity trustee if, as a result, the number of charity trustees would exceed the maximum.

The charity trustees are appointed at the AGM of the charity to serve for two successive years and shall retire from office with effect from the conclusion of the second AGM following their appointment.

(3) At every AGM of the members of the CIO, one third (or the number nearest to one third) of the elected charity trustees shall retire from office.

(4) The charity trustees to retire by rotation shall be those who have been longest in office since their last appointment or reappointment. If any charity trustees were last appointed or reappointed

Docusign Envelope ID: 12B4ED0B-460F-4280-8F27-ED9CB8AD25AE

Chiddingstone Nursery School CIO

Trustees Annual Report

on the same day, those to retire shall (unless otherwise agreed amongst themselves) be determined by lot.

(5) The vacancies so arising may be filled by the decision of the members at the AGM; any vacancies not filled at the AGM may be filled as provided in sub-clause (5) of this clause.

(6) The members or the charity trustees may at any time decide to appoint a new charity trustee, whether in place of a charity trustee who has retired or been removed in accordance with clause 15 (Retirement and removal of charity trustees), or as an additional charity trustee, provided that the limit specified in sub-clause 12(3) (Number of charity trustees) would not as a result be exceeded. A person so appointed, shall serve for two successive years and shall retire in accordance with subclauses (2) and (3) of this clause.

(7) Where an individual is appointed as a charity trustee, it is that individual who is the charity trustee. No other individual with whom they share membership shall be entitled to stand in their place at meetings of the charity trustees or have any other rights as a charity trustee.

(8) To encourage parental involvement, at least two thirds of the charity trustees shall normally at the time of election be family members. In the event that this figure cannot be achieved however, the CIO may elect affiliate members to make up the balance of the charity trustees.

The charity trustees will make available to each new charity trustee, on or before his or her first appointment:

(1) a copy of this constitution and any amendments made to it;

(2) a copy of the CIO’s latest trustees’ annual report and statement of accounts; and

(3) a copy of the roles and responsibilities of trustees as produced by the Charity Commission.

Trustees are also encouraged to attend training provided by The Education People.

The charity is run by Trustees and a wider committee that represent the parents involved in the nursery.

The day-to-day management of the nursery is carried out by the Nursery Leader and qualified nursery staff.

Chiddingstone Nursery PTA carries out fundraising for equipment and resources.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

Chiddingstone Nursery School CIO

Notes to the Accounts

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.

Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.

In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities.

In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet.

The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
