## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period**
**From 01/01/2022 To 31/12/2022**
**Charity name: Llyswen Cheeky Monkeys Nursery and Afterschool Club**
## **Charity registration number: 1186939**
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objective of the charity is to advance the education of children aged 2-12 in Llyswen and its surrounding areas and to provide the necessary facilities for their daily care, recreation and education during out of school hours and school holidays by providing a nursery and after school club for the public benefit.
To achieve this objective the charity undertakes the following activities:
- Provision of wrap-around / holiday childcare for pre-school and primary school children aged 3-12.
- Provision of nursery childcare for children aged 2-3.
The trustees have made decisions regarding these activites with regard to our charitable purpose and the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
## **Achievements and Performance**
Many thanks to the staff and committee for their hard work and continued dedication and commitment to the nursery and club during 2022, particularly to those who took on additional responsibilities from September onwards.
The start of 2022 was very busy for the charity providing the following services:
- Nursery provision for 24 families with up to 12 children per day
- Club provision for 72 families with up to 24 children per day during term-time and 32 children per day during holidays
Between January to July numbers for both settings were steady, with a waiting list in place for both on those days booked at full capacity.
This year staffing has been challenging for both the club and the nursery, due to being unable to find suitably qualified candidates for illness cover in all positions and maternity cover for the leader position. Four new staff were recruited for holiday club in 2022, one in April and three in July, however only one of these members of staff held a Playwork level 2 qualification.
Lack of maternity cover for the leader position greatly impacted the club and nursery forcing the temporary closure of both settings in July 2022 and the suspension of the Nursery / Club registrations with Care Inspectorate Wales.
Due to the closure of both settings, one member of full-time staff and four members of parttime staff in the Nursery were made redundant. One member of part-time staff from the breakfast club will also need to be made redundant, however discussions regarding the redundancy payment were ongoing at the end of 2022.
Following discussions with senior staff, after school club was reopened as unregistered provision in September 2022 and continues to provide essential after school provision for the children of Archdeacon Griffiths Primary School.
Club staff ran a Halloween squares fundraiser and raised £446 to fund the creation of shelves in the shed. Many thanks to the staff for their support.
Wages continue to be done by an accountancy firm and the pension scheme continues with NEST.
Plans for 2023 are to recruit new trustees and prepare to re-open both nursery and holiday club settings at the earliest opportunity.
## **Financial Review**
The charity’s principal source of funding remains fees charged for the provision of childcare services. Fees were kept at the same rates as in 2021 despite increases in the National Minimum Wage.
Debtors have increased from £6,464 in 2021 to £10,481. Efforts to recover outstanding fees should be increased in 2023 to reduce this figure and improve the charity’s financial position.
The temporary closure of the breakfast club, holiday club and nursery services in July 2022 due to a key member of staff going on maternity leave resulted in redundancies for several staff. Redundancy payments are included in staff wages in the accounts.
A Halloween squares fundraiser was run by the Club staff and raised £446, part of which will be used to build shelves in the shed. The plan is to build on this with additional fundraising in 2023 to provide additional funds for training and equipment.
Overall, increased staff wage costs, redundancy payments and a significant increase in debtors contributed to a net reduction in available cash funds of £8,776.
The principal risk facing the charity in 2023 is that the school notified the charity in December 2022 that the nursery room will not be available until July, so it may be necessary to make the member of staff on maternity leave redundant upon their return to work. A calculation was made to determine the potential redundancy payment and £7,000 was placed in reserve to cover this cost.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The charity was governed as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in accordance with its constitution.
Membership of the CIO is open to anyone who is interested in furthering its purposes, and who, by applying for membership, has indicated his, her or its agreement to become a member and acceptance of the duty of members to exercise his or her powers as a member of the CIO in the way he or she decides in good faith would be most likely to further the purposes of the CIO.
Trustees are elected at the annual general meeting or may be appointed at any time either to replace a trustee who has retired or as an additional trustee. When an existing trustee ceases to hold office, a new member will be elected to the office by a majority vote either at the annual general meeting or a general meeting if the resignation/removal occurs part way through the year.
