## **Objectives and Activities:** 

## _Principal Activity and Object of the Charity._ 

The charity’s object is to advance education in particular the education of children below compulsory school age in Seaford, East Sussex. UK and the surrounding area. 

## _Mission Statement._ 

Children are at the heart of everything we do! 

## _Benefits to the Community._ 

The charity has been educating children and benefitting the local community since September 1994. We welcome all children from every background. 

We accept children from 2 years to school age which means we help children learn and develop important social skills they will take with them into main school and beyond. We lay important foundations in skills such as turn taking, staying safe, communication and language development, teamwork and conflict resolution. All these skills enable our children to be a responsible member of their local community. We also work closely with our local schools to prepare our children for starting main school. 

## **Achievements and Performance:** 

## _Achievements._ 

We have continued to offer our Tiger Club services meaning that children can attend the Nursery 8.00am to 5:30pm. This has been a popular choice with our working families. We have also offered families a Holiday Club service in the school holidays, running 1-2 days of the holidays for a four hour session. 

With the lifting of COVID restrictions, we are now able to welcome families into the building and offer full nursery viewings to prospective children. 

Working with and supporting families post COVID has been a real focus within the nursery. 

## _Friends of Micklefield._ 

This year has been a successful fundraising year for Micklefield Nursery with a total of £2,708 raised, less £220 costs. 

We held a Christmas Sing-a-Long and raffle which raised £664 and a raffle at Easter which raised £82. 

Our main focus on fundraising for the school year was for children to ‘Sponsor a Square’ in our Squirrel garden makeover. This raised £1,310 

Other fundraising activities included a Teddy Tombola, Caterpillar and Bear Hunt shows and an end of term raffle raising £652 

## C _hildren._ 

The charity is open for 38 weeks in each year, and currently has 127 active children on its register. 

The charity offers up to 10 x three-hour sessions per week from 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays). We also offer a 1-hour lunch session 12pm to 1pm and parents can choose morning/afternoon sessions of 3 or 4 hours or all-day sessions of 7 hours. 

The nursery also now offers Early Morning club from 8.00am to 9.00am and Afternoon club 4:00pm to 5:30pm. 



## _Staff._ 

The charity employs 30 staff directly involved with the children and 4 administrative staff, with the following breakdown. 

|Nursery Manager|1|
|---|---|
|Business & Finance Officer|1|
|Early Years Team Leader|1|
|Communications Consultant|1|
|INA|7|
|Nursery Assistant|3|
|Nursery Practitioner|17|
|SENCo Lead|1|
|Senior Administrative Coordinator|1|
|Administrator|1|



## _Salaries._ 

The charity pays staff the Government's National Living Wage or above. Staff are paid 38 weeks of the year when the charity is open, but their pay is spread over 12 equal monthly payments per year as staff prefer it that way. Staff are also paid a holiday entitlement in line with government legislation. 

## _Capacity._ 

Children numbers always start off lower at the start of the school year (September) but build up over the year. During this school year, due to the number of staff in ratio, some families due to start with us were deferred until September 2022. 

## _Funding and Tax-Free Childcare._ 

The charity offers 30hr funded places (subject to capacity) to parents. The charity also offer places to families eligible for 2 year old funding. The charity has also registered as a Tax-Free Childcare provider. 

## _Advertising._ 

The charity has a Facebook page administered by our Senior Admin. Coordinator and a web site ‘www.micklefieldnursery.co.uk’. Adverts are also placed in local papers, booklets etc. 



## **Financial Review:** 

## _Policies on reserves._ 

The level of reserves is £432,610 (2020: £413,823). It’s 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 at least six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at the 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. 

## _Turnover and Profit._ 

The past year has been especially challenging, but Micklefield was able to adopt very careful management of costs. 

The charity’s turnover was £446,664 (2020: £429,639) resulting in a trading profit of £18,733 (2020: £25,215) 

## _Share Capital._ 

The company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital. All trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute not exceeding £10 in the event of a winding up. 

## _Income and Expenditure Breakdown._ 

The main funding for the charity is provided by East Sussex County Council’s Service Agreement for Providing Free Early Learning Places (ELPs) for Two Year Old’s and Early Years Education Entitlement (EYEE) for Three & Four Year Old’s. This accounted for 70% of the charity’s total income, with the remaining 30% coming from unfunded children, lunch club, bursaries and fund raising. 

The major expenditure was staff wages amounting to 82% of the total costs.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD) ("the Company")** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD) are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Financial Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD) as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

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.

## **MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD)** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## **1 Charity status** 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. 

The address of its registered office is: Micklefield Nursery School Sutton Avenue Seaford East Sussex BN25 4LN 

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 15 November 2022. 

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Income and endowments** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

Page 7 



## **MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD)** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

Page 8 



## **MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD)** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## **Stock** 

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO). 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Borrowings** 

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. 

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD) ("the Company")** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD) are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Financial Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of MICKLEFIELD NURSERY SCHOOL (SEAFORD) as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

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.

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## **Stock** 

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO). 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Borrowings** 

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. 

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
