## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**_
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)".
## **Objectives and activities**
City Kids Playcentre was set up in 1981 by a group of parents wanting quality after-school care for their children and is committed to providing a comfortable and stimulating environment for children as well as always aiming to achieve high standards of excellence in childcare provision. The organisation became a CIO in 2022. This report provides an overview of the full year of operation as the CIO to the year ended August 31[st] 2025.
## _Public benefit_
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.The Management Committee is aware of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and their operation of the Playcentre reflects this in the following ways:
1. The object of City Kids Playcentre CIO is the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation for children attending St. Alban's Catholic Primary School being a facility:
a. of which such children have need by reason of their youth or social and economic circumstances; and
b. which will improve the conditions of life for such children by promoting their physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.
2. The income and property of City Kids Playcentre CIO is applied solely towards the promotion of the object of City Kids Playcentre CIO.
3. City Kids Playcentre CIO offers two sessions a day, Monday to Friday during term time (excluding bank holidays and teacher-training days). Breakfast club runs from 7.30am —9.00am and after school club runs from 3.15pm — 6.00pm. This enables parents of the children at St Alban's and St Paul's primary schools to attend work.
4. The Charity supports the education and training of future childcare providers by the provision of work experience placements.
5. Being mindful of its charitable status the Charity maintains fees at as low a level as possible to cover its running costs.
6. The Management Committee provides their professional skills and services as unpaid volunteers in order to retain fees at a minimum level.
We aim to provide healthy food at both the breakfast and after-school club that the children will enjoy and to engage the children in the preparation of food. Children are encouraged to help with creating shopping lists and to prepare and clear up their own food.
We aim to provide a range of stimulating environments and toys or equipment for the children including outdoor space with outdoor toys. We provide a happy and caring environment that both children and staff enjoy and where parents feel content to leave their children. We invest in new toys for the children and ask the children to suggest toys that they would like to see at the club. We have given the Playleader an annual amount to spend on new toys as well as a monthly budget for crafts.

## **Achievements and performance**
## _Significant activities and achievements against objectives_
We provide a service which is of public benefit, providing quality childcare at breakfast and afterschool clubs for children attending St Albans Catholic Primary. This service enables parents to return to work knowing that their children will be well cared for in a stimulating environment. We provide breakfast club for a maximum of 40 children and afterschool club for a maximum of 40 children. The club is currently full and there is a waiting list. We strive to reduce the wait list down to zero, subject to Ofsted defined limits on occupancy vs floor space and staffing ratios. The club began to operate from within the school dining hall from April 2025 after the Easter break, following the OLEM Catholic Church Parish Hall being no longer available. We thank the Trust and St Albans catholic primary for enabling continuity of wrap around care for the children.
We aim to provide fee places to children based on financial need when requested by Head Teachers.
We provide a much-needed resource for the local community through the provision of childcare for children at St. Albans Catholic Primary.
We have kept fees as low as possible although this is a key challenge given rising operational costs: rent, food and staffing costs.
We try to always provide a wide range of art and craft materials and open-ended resources to allow children free rein to create and explore.
The club also supports a calm and child-led atmosphere where the staff and children can chat about any topic and share ideas for future activities and games.
We have renewed and replenished the toys throughout the year based on the children's interests and requests using methods such as voting, surveys and asking the children to add ideas to the shopping list on the board.
We conduct parent feedback surveys once a year. We continue to receive very good feedback from parents in all areas of operation including the variety and quality of snacks, toys and equipment provided, friendliness and professional quality of staff. The one constant area of feedback requiring action is around increased service provision capacity. We continue to look for options to increase our capacity which is unfortunately limited by availability of space made available by OLEM Church. With agreement from the Headteacher of St Albans, we have been able to use some space from the school hall dining area for after school club for around 6 - 10 children. Our wait list has been reduced to single digits for breakfast club, and circa 20 for after school club. We remain determined to further reduce this.
## **Financial review**
The financial results for the year ended 31st August 2025 (2024/25) show that the Club had made a profit of £15,179.
The principal source of income is attendance fees accounting for 99% (2023/24: 69%) of the club's income. The income increased from £149,837 (2023/2024) to £154,792.
The registered number of children that attended various regular and ad hoc sessions was an average of 85 for the year.
The Management Committee have considered the level of fees for the year on the basis of expected contractual enrolments for the range of sessions offered at the Club in order to ensure that the fees generated would cover the projected expenditure for the year.

## _Reserves policy_
It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to six month’s expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
## _Recruitment and appointment of trustees_
City Kids is run by a Management Committee, in conjunction with the Manager. The Management Committee is made up of parents attending St Albans catholic primary, each with children attending the City Kids Playcentre; the Management Committee has legal obligations. In addition, the Committee welcomes suggestions from parents and children and a suggestion box is at the Club for this purpose. Parental membership of the Committee on a voluntary basis remains a continued challenge due to lack of time availability and or skills.
The Management Committee consists of a Chair, a Treasurer, a Secretary, and at least two parent representatives.
Committee members are elected from among the members of the Association. The Management Committee delegate the day to day running of the club to the Manager. The Committee meets at least once in each academic term and the quorum of the Committee is four. The Manager is invited to attend for all or part of these meetings, at the discretion of the Committee, but does not have the power to vote. Third party professional services companies are engaged to assist City Kids with its operations. This is periodically reviewed by the Committee to ensure maximum quality of service and value for money for parents. Kids R Us Out of School Clubs Ltd appointed last year continue to be excellent in providing professional services relating to the wrap around care, and Thomas Quinn Chartered Accountants for bookkeeping, payroll and related financial services. At the annual general meeting held in June 2025, it was agreed for the Constitution to be amended to enable leadership members of appointed professional service providers (currently KRU Ltd) to be Trustees. This change enables a degree of future-proofing of continuity of club services, and having less reliance on parents volunteering to be Committee members/Trustees. Moving forward, whilst we welcome parent direct involvement, we will seek to fully de-risk reliance on parent volunteers on the Committee. A decision on how this will be achieved will be made at a future time point.
Membership is open to individuals over eighteen or organisations who are approved by the Trustees. The Committee may refuse an application for membership or terminate an existing membership if they consider this to be in the best interests of the Association.
None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
The company's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to follow the CBI's Prompt Payers Code (copies are available from the CBI, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1DU).
The company's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to:
- settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction;
- ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and
- pay in accordance with the company's contractual and other legal obligations.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CITY KIDS PLAYCENTRE CIO**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of City Kids Playcentre CIO (the Charity) for the year ended 31 August 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **CITY KIDS PLAYCENTRE CIO**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
City Kids Playcentre CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.
## **1.1 Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a statement of cash flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.
## **1.3 Income**
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **1.4 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
## **1.5 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings
25% Reducing Balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **1.6 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.7 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
## **1.8 Financial instruments**
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.9 Employee benefits**
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
## **1.10 Retirement benefits**
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

## **16 Unrestricted funds**
