_**Blagdon Under Fives - Charity No: 299312 Accounts Year Ending 31 August 2021**_ 


## **Summary** 

- Total income for the year was £66k which is an increase of 4% on last year. 

- Expenditure also increased by 4%, to £60k. This is a result of higher staff costs due to the lack of casual staff during the year. 

- There was a resulting surplus for the year of £5.5k. The income provided by the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, North Somerset top-up funding and North Somerset business grants covered the loss of fees due to Covid-19 and enabled the Pre-School to retain and pay existing staff, allowing a smooth return to operations once restrictions were lifted. 

## **Income Analysis** 

## Funding, Fees and Child Numbers 

- North Somerset funding decreased by £11k from the previous year, reflecting lower numbers of children attending in the Autumn terms. This was still greatly influenced by Covid-19 due to reluctance by many families to return to childcare settings as well as the reduced need for childcare with many parents still working from home. The shortfall in funding was covered by funding top-up payments from North Somerset Council. Pre-School fees income increased however, by £10k, as numbers picked up in the summer terms and the Pre-School had been closed over the equivalent period in the previous year. 

- Fundraising income decreased by 23% due to restrictions on gatherings over the whole year. 

- Donations were lower than the previous year due to a reduced contribution from the Baynard Trust. 

- Other income was similar to last year. The total of £13.8k includes £7.2k of business grants from North Somerset and £6.5k from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. 

## After School Club 

- Fees from After School Club decreased by £4.7k. This was the area most impacted by many parents continuing to work from home. 

## Fundraising and Donations 

- The contribution from fundraising was reduced due to restrictions on events throughout the year. There were however, contributions from the following: 

|▪|PayPal Giving Fund|£ 750|
|---|---|---|
|▪|Wreath Making|£ 215|
|▪|Personalised Crafts|£ 72|
|▪|Easyfundraising|£ 64|



Our thanks go to all who have contributed to fundraising activities and continued to support the Pre-School, particularly during uncertain times. 

- 

- Our gratitude goes to the Baynard Trust, who supported us with a donation of £500.

## **Expense Analysis** 

- 85% of the total expenditure relates to staff costs. The staffing cost increased by £2k as a result of wage increases and the loss of casual staff hours which meant there were reduced savings over the lockdown period. There were some other small increases in expenditure. Toys and Equipment costs increased by £324 as a result of investment in the outside space and Other Expenses includes £280 of external support paid for out of top-up funding. 

## **Toddler Group** 

- The Toddler Group did not operate over the year. Covid restrictions in place at St Andrews Church meant that it was not possible to run sessions at the setting. Insurance premiums were paid using income generated the previous year to cover any risk to toys and equipment.
