TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity Saffron Walden Nursery School for the year ended 31 August 2020. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition of the Charities SORP October 2019, effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Charity was established to advance the education of pre-school children by providing a suitable environment for them. Each child should find opportunity through play and companionship at their own age, to develop all their own powers to the full, under the supervision and guidance of qualified, highly trained staff.
The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and their operation of the Nursery School reflects this in the following ways:
a) The Charity is a partner in the government’s Nursery Grant scheme and parents of children aged three and over may claim up to 5 sessions per week under this arrangement.
b) The Charity supports the education and training of future childcare providers by the provision of work experience placements.
c) Being mindful of its charitable status, the Charity maintains fees at as low a level as possible to cover its running costs.
d) The Trustees provide their professional skills and services as unpaid volunteers in order to retain fees at a minimum level.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
During the year under review the Charity continued its principal activity and was able to provide care and education for children aged 0-5 years from it’s Shire Hill premises. The Charity is run by unpaid volunteers, with the main governing body of trustees being referred to as the “management Committee”. Day to day management of the charity is delegated by the trustees to the Nursery Manager who reports to the Management Committee on a regular basis. The Nursery is an inclusive setting and provides care for children with a range of abilities from a variety of backgrounds under the supervision of the SENCo, ENCo and Nursery Manager.
The Charity received an OFSTED inspection in January 2017. The Nursery School was awarded “Good” in all areas.
The Charity has capacity for up to 49 children session.
INVESTMENT POLICY
There are no specific investment powers governing the investments of the Charity. In practice, all cash surplus to immediate needs is held in an interest bearing deposit account with Lloyds Bank plc.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY
The Charity had restricted funds of £18,663 at the end of the year (2019: £19,596) as described in note 14 to the financial statements. The balance of reserves of £202,479 (2019: £190,959) is available to support the general purpose of the charity without restriction.
The Trustees set a level of fees for the year that they believe will cover the estimated expenditure, on the basis of a realistic number of enrolments. The Trustees are of the opinion that the Charity's minimum reserve should be sufficient to cover 3 months salaries and running costs, which would equate to about £30,000 per annum. The Charity's free reserves at the end of the year were £66,892 (2019: £56,055) and this excess will be used to replace white goods and other maintenance projects and to provide cover to fill any staffing absence.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 AND GOING CONCERN
The Nursery was closed due to Coronavirus from 17 March 2020 and from that date onwards no fees were charged but funding was claimed. Staff were furloughed initially at 100%. The Nursery reopened in June to a limited number of children according to government guidelines. A percentage of the staff were furloughed at 80% for the Summer holidays. The impact of the closure and limited opening saw a much lower intake for September 2020, and there were also no opportunities to fundraise etc.
The Trustees have considered the impact of the Coronavirus crisis on future income streams and planned activities.
At the AGM on 3 March 2020 the Trustees resolved that it is in the best interest of the Charity to change from an unincorporated assoication to a charitable incorporated organisation. The Trustees plan to register a new CIO using the model CIO Constitution for Childcare Providers 2013. The Trustees have referred to Charity Commission guidance CC22a. Once registered, all activities will be transferred to the new organisation, including all assets and liabilities, subject to first obtaining the consent of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.
At the date of approval of these accounts the application to register the new CIO had not been made however for the reasons set out above the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. Assets have been reviewed by the Trustees and are measured at their recoverable amount, no onerous committed liabilities have been identified. The change in basis of preparation required no adjustment to the amounts reported in the financial statements on a going concern basis prior to the announcement of the controlled transfer of activities to the new CIO.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SAFFRON WALDEN NURSERY SCHOOL ('the Charity')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2020.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT
As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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) 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 been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters, other than those fully detailed below, have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do 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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
EMPHASIS OF MATTER - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PREPARED ON A BASIS OTHER THAN GOING CONCERN
I draw attention to note 1.2 in the financial statements which indicates that the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (second edition October 2019, effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Saffron Walden Nursery School 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.
There were no significant estimates or judgements made by management in preparing these financial statements.
1.2 GOING CONCERN
The Trustees have reviewed the financial position of the charity, including the impact of COVID-19 and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
At the AGM on 3 March 2020 the Trustees resolved that it is in the best interest of the Charity to change from an unincorporated assoication to a charitable incorporated organisation. The Trustees plan to register a new CIO using the model CIO Constitution for Childcare Providers 2013. The Trustees have referred to Charity Commission guidance CC22a. Once registered, all activities will be transferred to the new organisation, including all assets and liabilities, subject to first obtaining the consent of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.
At the date of approval of these accounts the application to register the new CIO had not been made however for the reasons set out above the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern. Assets have been reviewed by the Trustees and are measured at their recoverable amount, no onerous committed liabilities have been identified. The change in basis of preparation required no adjustment to the amounts reported in the financial statements on a going concern basis prior to the announcement of the controlled transfer of activities to the new CIO.
1.3 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.4 INCOME
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 income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Parent and third party fees are recognised in the period to which they relate, with any fees received in advance being deferred.
Donations are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when received.
Grant income is recognised by the charity when there has been notification of the amount and the settlement date. In the event that a grant is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to those funds, the income is deferred. If a grant is subject to strict terms as to the use of those funds, the grant is treated as a restricted fund and accounted for accordingly. Where the receipt of grant income is contingent on certain aspects, such that the charity does not have full entitlement and is not able to accurately establish measurement of the income, it is disclosed as a contingent asset in the accounts.
Income from funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
1.5 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.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. This includes the costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory financial statements, the costs of Trustees meetings and the cost of any legal advice given to the Trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Expenditure on raising funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
1.6 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Office equipment - 20%
Leasehold building additions are to be fully depreciated to a date coterminous with the end of the original lease of the buildings. No depreciation is applied until a project is complete.
1.7 STOCKS
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.
1.8 DEBTORS
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.9 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.10 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
1.11 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
