This is the result of a higher proportion of funded hours being used. This also explains the fall in Pre-School Fees. - Child numbers were fairly consistent but dropped slightly from the previous year, leading to a fall in Pre-School income of 3%. ## After School Club - Fees from After School Club increased by 4% to £30k and now represent 35% of the total income. The increase is a result of higher child numbers throughout the year and demonstrates the valuable contribution made by the After School Club. ## Fundraising and Donations - Fundraising income decreased slightly as a couple of village events weren’t repeated in the current year. - The main fundraising contributions came from the following: |▪|Wreath Making|£ 564| |---|---|---| |▪|Easyfundraising|£ 135| Our thanks go to all who have contributed to fundraising activities and continued to support the Pre-School. - Donations were slightly lower than last year, as there was a specific donation last year for the purchase of a freezer. Our gratitude goes to The Plume of Feathers, Rickford, with a contribution from the annual duck race. ## Other Income - Other income in the prior year included the final Covid restart grant. There was no equivalent income in the current year. **Published: 30 June 2024** **Page 2 of 6** **Prepared by: G Mills** _**Blagdon Under Fives - Charity No: 299312 Accounts Year Ending 31 August 2023**_ ## **Expense Analysis** - 80% of the total expenditure relates to staff costs. The staffing cost increased by £3k as a result of cost of living pay increases and a rise in the national living wage. - There was an overall decrease in expenditure of £2k due to a large cost in the prior year relating to the purchase of furniture for the Pre-School’s new room within the school building. This investment has proved worthwhile as the space used by the Pre-School children is much improved. Some of the surplus for the current year will be used to improve the outdoor space. ## **Toddler Group** - The Toddler Group did not run in the current year. There is no loss of income as the group had been in deficit for a couple of years. **Published: 30 June 2024** **Page 3 of 6** **Prepared by: G Mills** _**Blagdon Under Fives - Charity No: 299312 Accounts Year Ending 31 August 2023**_ ## **Income Statement** |**Income**

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. **Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts 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 accounts to be reached. * _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ **Signed: Date: Name: Relevant professional qualification(s) or body (if any): Address:** **Oct 2018** **IER** 1 ## **Section B Disclosure** Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** . **Oct 2018** **IER** 2
