Objectives and activities

Objects of the Charity

The objects of the charity are:

The objective of the Children’s Workshop is creative community play scheme in a diverse, safe and caring environment, for children aged 4 to 12 years, who are resident in Totterdown and the adjoining areas of Bristol.

Public Benefit

In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, the trustees have considered the Charity commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Report from the Chair – Razeeb Ahasan

I’m proud to share the Workshop’s Annual Report for 2024/25. It’s been a year of bedding in the previous significant changes. The backdrop remains challenging for childcare facilities in Bristol, but we’ve been resilient and our management, play team and the local community have worked collaboratively to strengthen our finances, enhance our provision, and deepen our connections. As ever, we have managed changed and remain ambitious about the possibilities for improvement.

Management team

Our management team are central to this. Fiona and Tyrone are well established in their roles of Business Operations Manager and Play Manager respectively. Their commitment to providing highquality, fun and safe childcare for our children is unwavering and we’re very grateful to have them leading our setting.

The management committee is particularly proud of Tyrone for recently achieving his Level 3 Play Manager qualification. Tyrone studied alongside working hard to create engaging play sessions for the children. It has been challenging at times, but he’s persevered and now has the qualification to show for it. We’re very proud of him! I also want to recognise Dave Rawling’s support for Tyrone over the last year or so.

TOTTERDOWN CHILDREN’S COMMUNITY WORKSHOP

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

There have been changes on the management committee too. We said a fond farewell to Helen Broadbent and Carey Hiles, who stepped down from the committee. Particular thanks to Helen, who provided excellent support and guidance on safeguarding policies and as our Ofsted liaison. We were delighted this year to have Rosie Whiter and Micheal Rochester join the committee. Rosie has succeeded Helen as safeguarding and Ofsted liaison. Michael has joined to lead our operations support.

Team Development and Staffing

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. Grace has supported Tyrone throughout the holidays as our holiday club Deputy Play Manager. For a while, we were very pleased to have recruited Tammy Tunnah to join as term time Deputy, providing much needed support to Tyrone. Unfortunately, Tammy had the chance to take up a role she’d long coveted elsewhere, and we wished her the very best. While recruiting play staff remains a challenge across the sector in Bristol, we have been fortunate to have had a degree of stability on our play team. Justin and Lily, our permanent members, have been supported throughout the year by Caroline, Leo, Filsan and Helen from our bank team.

We trialled new policies to support staff wellbeing, such as allowing staff to bring their children to the setting at a discounted rate. Professional development remains a priority, with staff completing advanced safeguarding and child protection training, as well as other ongoing opportunities. Our induction processes have been strengthened to ensure all staff are fully equipped to deliver safe and inclusive care. It needn’t be said, but we are very grateful to our play team for their hard work, energy, patience and care.

Financial Stability and Growth

A notable success this year has been the improvement in our financial health. Simon’s careful management and increased attendance have resulted in a robust cash position, with reserves consistently higher than the previous year. Again, some months were challenging, with expenditure exceeding income, highlighting the absence of much headroom in this sector. However, we’re in a good place and want to be more conscientious about fundraising this coming year.

Community Engagement

Having a strong connection to our local community is very important to us at Workshop. We were delighted to host the Totterdown Arts Trail last year and will do so again shortly. It’s an excellent way to showcase our setting, meet new families and, of course, eat cake.

We invested in improving our setting this year. Much of the setting has been freshly painted, thanks to the combined efforts of parents, committee members, and volunteers. The welcoming room was transformed by parents and committee, while the main room benefited from the hard work of staff from the Bristol University Civil, Aero and Design Engineering Department, who used their volunteer day to give the space a refresh.

Service provision

The summer holiday club also provided enriching experiences for our children. This year, the club went on another trip to the BIMM Music Institute, where the children had a fantastic day exploring and playing with a wide range of music equipment. These hands-on opportunities not only foster creativity and confidence but also create lasting memories for everyone involved. We also held themed workshops in music, science, and nature, to further enrich the children’s experiences.

We remain committed to inclusion and accessibility. We’ve kept our policy of welcoming children from age four, with ongoing reviews to ensure compliance and best practice. We have also explored ways to support children with additional needs, including tailored sessions and targeted staff training.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Relationship with the Church

This year, we sadly lost Phil Goodfellow, the long-time Church Warden, who passed away in January. Phil was our main contact with the Church and long supported the Workshop. The Church has appointed a new Vicar and is in the process of appointing a new Warden. It will lead to a change in our relationship. We have already been informed the Church will need to raise the rent and there may be other charges too. We are working constructively with the Church to ensure these are fair, manageable and to formalise some benefits for us in return, especially on maintenance. We are keen to explore improvements to the limited outdoor space at the Church has part of these discussions.

Forward Priorities

Like many organisations in our sector, we have faced challenges in recruiting qualified staff, managing rising costs, and maintaining high levels of parent and community engagement. These challenges have prompted us to focus on succession planning, contingency strategies, and innovative approaches to outreach and marketing.

Looking ahead, our priorities include:

Securing new sources of funding and developing our outdoor space for learning and play.
Further enhancing inclusion and support for children with additional needs.
Strengthening our relationships with parents, schools, and community partners.
Continuing to invest in staff development and wellbeing.
Ensuring robust governance and safeguarding remain at the core of our operations.

Conclusion

This year has demonstrated the strength, adaptability, and commitment of the TCCW community. We are proud of what we have achieved together and look forward to building on this foundation in the year ahead. Thank you to all our staff, committee members, families, and partners for your ongoing support and dedication.

If you’d like to get involved and help us achieve these goals, we’d love to hear from you! As a parentled charity, we’re always looking for new committee members, especially those with skills in communications, marketing, and fundraising. However, anyone with positive energy and a willingness to pitch in is welcome. Even if you can’t join the committee, we’d appreciate any help you can offer. Please reach out to me at chair@tccw.org.uk if you’re interested.

Report from the Treasurer – Simon Alpren

The TCCW’s financial objective is to maintain at least a break-even position each year, while supporting the setting with its overall priorities. I’m glad to report that for the second year, our income has actually exceeded our expenditure, and we have managed to grow our reserves. This financial stability is particularly important as we continue to deal with challenges in hiring and retaining staff, increasing costs and competition from other childcare providers.

TOTTERDOWN CHILDREN’S COMMUNITY WORKSHOP

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Income

During the year, TCCW generated £86k from after school club (ASC), holiday club (HC) and annual fees. This was £10k or 12% more than the previous year. The main reasons for the increase in income were:

1) Increased numbers of children attending ASC – we welcomed on average 26.5 children per day into the ASC compared to 23.5 the prior year.
2) More children attending the HC for both full days and school days – full day attendance increased to 18.5 children per day up from 17.6 in the prior year and school day attendance increased to 10.8 children per day compared to 8.6 in the prior year.
3) The incremental fee increase put in place at the start of the school year in September 2024.

The £86k income included £3.6k in annual fees paid by regular users of the setting. This money is essential in ensuring the sustainability of the Workshop.

In addition to fee Income, TCCW received £2.2k in “other income”. The biggest source was £1.3k from the Co-op and £490 from opening during Totterdown Arts Trail. We also earned £170 from Easy Fundraising. I encourage everyone to install Easy Fundraising on their browser and to contribute towards the financial security of the Workshop whenever they shop online, with no additional expense to them.

Expenditure

Staff costs are still TCCW’s biggest expenditure and in 2024/25 they were £66k which constituted 81% of all costs. This proportion was slightly higher than the prior year indicating that our spending on wages has increased faster than spending in other areas. Positively, the proportion of our income that we spend on wages (which is a key ratio in measuring the financial performance of TCCW) continues to decrease, this year being 77%. Last year I set a target of 75% for this ratio, and this remains our goal.

Wages for staff were increased in April 2024 and April 2025. These were the second and third consecutive years that wages were increased across all pay bandings and reflect the committee’s continued desire to properly remunerate our current staff, and to help attract excellent play workers to help run the setting.

Outside of staff related costs, Rent is the next biggest expense. Our Rent costs remained flat at £7k for the year, a rare example of an unchanged cost. However, with recent changes at the church, we have recently been informed that our Rent will be increasing. Indeed, as a temporary measure it has gone up by 10% since the start of the new year, but we should be prepared for further increases.

Other costs such as play equipment, food and drink for the setting and day to day running costs were well controlled and only increased by £300 to £6.8k during the year. Recruitment fees were £1k in 2024/25 compared to virtually zero in the prior year. Thus, further highlighting the difficulty and expense of hiring good, qualified staff.

Reserves

As of March 31st 2025, total cash and savings totalled £49k, which was £6.5k greater than the equivalent balance at the end of March 2024. Rather than holding all reserves as cash, as of June 2024, £30k was transferred to two interest bearing savings accounts held with Barclays bank. One being instant access and one being fixed term for 12 months. The Fixed Term account has since matured and has been reinvested for a further 15 months.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Future Outlook – 2025/26

The future as always is uncertain, but there are some known knowns. Rent and recruitment costs are up, staff pay bandings are higher than previous years and could increase further next April and we will continue to compete with Hillcrest for afterschool attendance and with a wide range of providers during holidays.

Because of these factors, I do think that the current year will be more challenging from a financial perspective. Indeed, in the first 6 months of 2025/26, our expenditure has exceeded our income by £3.6k, when in the same period last year, income was £1k higher than expenditure. A £4.6k swing in the wrong direction. This has been further exacerbated by a lack of fundraising activity, something that we as a committee would like to positively impact, were it for more volunteers.

It’s also worth noting that we chose not to increase fees for parents at the start of the school year, a decision taken, in part, due to our strong financial performance over the last 2 years. The committee will consider the pros and cons of a fee increase in line with the new financial year in April.

Despite these challenges, I have full confidence in the Workshop’s ability to offer a fun and nurturing environment to local children, with a firm emphasis on play. This is made possible by the friendly, caring and energetic play team, lead so well by Tyrone and Fiona.

Report from the Play Manager – Tyrone Mignott

As many of you are aware I am the Play Manager, and over the past year, we have worked hard to fulfil the action objectives set out in my previous 2024 report. I’m pleased to share some of our key achievements and developments:

Self-Service Initiative

We introduced a self-service option that allows children to apply their own spread on toast or crackers. This has been very successful, particularly among our Reception children, promoting independence and confidence during snack times.

Annual Activity Planning

We have incorporated an annual activity planning approach that focuses on cultural events throughout the year. This has enriched our curriculum and created meaningful opportunities for children to explore diversity and inclusion through play.

Community Engagement & Collaboration

Special thanks to our Business Operations Manager Fiona for organising our participation in the local Arts Trail event, which has strengthened our community engagement. Together, we’ve also begun transforming the Snug Room into a sensory space and developing an Information Zone for children.

In addition, our contributions to the quarterly newsletter now include updates from both a business and play perspective, helping to highlight our provision to the wider community.

We are also in the process of enhancing our parent/carer handover procedures to further improve security and ensure safeguarding standards are consistently upheld.

Holiday Club Success

Throughout 2025, our Holiday Clubs have continued to provide high-quality, engaging childcare experiences that promote creativity, teamwork, and fun. Each club offered a diverse range of adultled activities, games, and workshops designed to support children’s social, emotional, and physical development.

February Holiday Club

We delivered another successful programme featuring enriching arts and crafts activities, team games, and sports competitions. The focus on creativity and collaboration encouraged children to explore new skills while building confidence and friendships.

Easter Holiday Club

A particular highlight of the Easter programme was the Origami Workshop, which captivated the children’s interest and encouraged fine motor development, concentration, and patience through creative paper folding projects.

May Holiday Club

During May, we refined our activity timetable to offer a clearer structure for both children and staff. This improvement enhanced session flow, supported staff coordination, and ensured a balanced mix of physical, creative, and free-play opportunities.

Summer Holiday Club

The summer programme was our most eventful yet, featuring a wide range of exciting educational visits and workshops, including:

A visit to a local Music Institute
A hands-on Science Workshop
Two Avon Wildlife Project sessions at Redcatch Park
A visit to the local library

These experiences provided valuable learning opportunities beyond the play setting, enriching the children’s understanding of nature, science, and the arts.

October Holiday Club

Our October sessions embraced a seasonal theme, offering children the chance to take part in spooky craft activities and Halloween-themed games. The combination of creativity and imaginative play helped bring a festive spirit to the club.

Record Attendance:

We are delighted to report a new record of 20 Reception and Year 1 children attending our After School Club sessions on Tuesdays — a fantastic milestone that reflects the growing trust and enthusiasm from our families.

Staffing and Team Development

Our team has grown stronger this year with several valuable additions:

We welcomed Filsan, an SEN/Early Years Teaching Assistant and Leo Nathan, to our bank staff roster.

• A new permanent Playworker Lily joined us and has quickly adapted to their role, building positive relationships with our early years children and undertaking training to become a key worker.

We also welcomed our new term time Deputy Manager Tammy, an Early Years Specialist, who started with us on 2nd April.

We were pleased to provide placements for five Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) volunteers, all former pupils of Hillcrest Primary School. Their achievements included one Silver Award and four Bronze Awards. We sincerely thank them for their enthusiasm, dedication, and valuable contributions during their placements.

Overall, it has been a rewarding year filled with progress, teamwork, and creativity. I want to thank the entire team for their continued commitment to providing a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment for all our children.

Report from the Business Operations Manager – Fiona Thorn

It has been another busy and rewarding year for Totterdown Children’s Community Workshop (TCCW), and I’m pleased to share an overview of our operations, highlighting our key achievements, reflect on the challenges we’ve faced, and outline our goals for the year ahead.

Our focus throughout the year has remained on providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for all children, while continuing to strengthen communication and partnership with parents and carers.

Key Achievements

This year has brought many successes that reflect the dedication of our team and the support of our families:

In December we held our first paint party where we spent the day freshening up the Welcome Room.
In July 2024 we welcomed the admin team from Bristol University Civil, Aero and Design Engineering team to come in to paint our main room within the setting as their charity volunteering day. This was a great opportunity thanks to parent partnership.
We have continued to offer holiday club sessions Monday to Thursday during the holidays and open for school day hours on inset days if they fall on a Monday to Thursday.
Each term we now hold a Welcome Evening for any new families looking to join TCCW. This is done as part of our Settling in Policy but also used as a great opportunity to showcase what we have to offer.
Working on sending out quarterly newsletters to parents and carers, with highlights, upcoming events and activities and important reminders.

Signed up to a training platform for staff to use for statutory and personal development training. This can be used in addition to training programs provided by BAND and the local authority.
Tyrone and I attend regular Play Managers meetings with other local childcare settings which are managed through BAND.
We now offer the later school collection at 4:30pm from Hillcrest enrichment clubs Monday to Thursday.

Challenges Faced

In January 2024 we were saddened by the passing of Phil Goodfellow the church warden of The Holy Nativity Church for 30 years. It has been a team effort to fill his shoes whilst the church recruit two new church wardens and as of June 2024 now have a new priest Fr Simon Clark.
Recruitment and retention remain key challenges, which is mainly due to the working hours not being suitable for all. We have been without a Deputy Play Manager for our after school club since September but are delighted to announce that we welcome Daniel to the team as of tomorrow!
We are always looking to increase the number of Bank Staff Play Workers to help cover holiday clubs and staff absences.
We remain committed to keeping fees as accessible as possible for families, while ensuring the service remains financially stable.
We have seen a slight drop in our after school club numbers since the new Hillcrest Enrichment programme started at the beginning of Term 1 and it also takes a couple of terms for new reception families to use workshop.
Unfortunately, we are still having some issues with parents & carers not always updating us if their child isn’t attending their booked session. This can cause significant delays when collecting the children from school at 3:30pm or for the later collection at 4:30pm, as we aren’t able to leave until ALL children on our register have been accounted for.

Despite these challenges, our team’s resilience and adaptability have ensured we continued to deliver safe, consistent, and enriching care for all children.

Goals for the Year Ahead

Our main goals for the coming year are:

Rebranding our logo to help improve our signage, marketing materials and website. This project is carried over from last year’s goals.
Continue to strengthen communication through regular updates and opportunities for parent & carer feedback.
Recruit more management committee members, especially to help with fundraising & grants and with marketing.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements
recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

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 Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the governing document.

The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the Year ended 31st March 2025 which are set out on pages 14-20.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Charities Act’) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts under section 145 Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect the requirements:

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply
with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met; or

2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
