Summary

Historically, Coalway Early Year's face financial challenges, to provide outstanding provision under stringent budget controls. This year was no different in terms of budgeting, which on the whole were well managed. We also encountered the unpresendented and ever changing restrictions, guidance and requirements imposed by the global pandemic, 'covid-19'. In March 2020 government put the UK into 'lockdown' including the closure of early year settings and schools (with the exception of key worker and vunerable children). This triggered a lot of uncertainty and many difficult decisions, regarding staffing in particular. Coalway Early Years also entered a consultation period to proceed with 2 redundancies which had associated notice and redundancy pay costs. I am relieved to report that dispite the financial challenges faced, Coalway Early Years made a 7k profit at year end.

CASH: A decision was made by office management, to become a cashless office during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, to minimise the risk of the virus spread, with money handling and face-to-face contact with parents/carers. Coalway Early Years will now be a cashless office, for all future payments, with the exception of fundraising events where cash is permitted. Should parents be able to pay via online banking for fundraising this method is still preferred but will be under review due to the processing/administrative time as well as predicted loss if we do not accept cash, for the minimal donations we request for fundraising events.

Income

Funding & Fees

The majority of our income is received from Gloucestershire County Council. This year totalled 134k, 11% increase from previous year. Our non funded (children's fees) income totalled 14k, 22% loss from previous year. A loss of £5,600 was recorded following the closure of the Playgroup, due to the cumpolsary early years/school closure and partial closure from March - July 2020. During this period no fees were charged to parents. A predicted increase of 9% would have been reported had we not incurred the 5.6k loss.

Funding was unaffected, during the global pandemic. Our Local Authority, Gloucestershire County Council, continued to pay AY20, 3 year and EYPP funding for all eligible children registed with Coalway Early Years

A one off funding payment was received in February, in respect of local authority budgeted, funding underspend - 3.4k

£615 recived for a child in receipt of Disabilty Access Fund (DAF ) - As the child has not been attending the setting due to Covid-19, resources and/or equipment will be purchased in 20/21 based on the child's individual needs.

EYPP

EYPP is received termly from Gloucestershire County Council, for children from low income familes. The money received from EYPP is allocated to children in receipt of this funding, based on their individual needs. This year EYPP funding was spent as follows;

Intervention, feelings and emotions and small world resources.

A balance of £1,166 was C/f to 20/21 for unspent funding due to the children not accessing the setting during the pandemic.

Fundraising

Fundraising was sadly been placed on hold due to the pandemic. A b/f balance of 2,058 from 18/19 reporting a dismal £839 raised this financial year with £401 being c/f to 20/21. Covid-19 pandemic meant we were not able to hold any fundraising events or activities from March!

Grants

We usually receive grants from inner wheel and Rotary but again due to Covid-19 they were unable to support all communities this year. Tesco Bag for Life £1,166 received - This has been carried forward to 20/21

* Fundraising is paramount to helping the playgroup purchase new equipment and resources for the children. We will be looking into how we can generate fundraising, through the current restrictions for 20/21. ***

Expenditure

Payroll 3% Increase from last year

Facing another year where we were unable to offer contracted hours to staff from September 2020 and with low intake for bookings for 20/21 a mangement decision was made to enter a consultion period for redundancies. At risk were 1 Admin role and 1 Early Years Educator role. At the end of the consulation period a decision was made to make 1 Admin role redunandant and accept voluntary redundancy for 1 Early Years Educator role..

Associated costs to these redundancies (Notice and Redundancy Pay) totalled - £4,897.65

National Living and Minimum wage increased in April 2019 by 6.2% for 25 years and older

In August VM (Early Years Educator) handed in her notice, A contract end date of 31st August 2020 was mutally agreed.

CH started maternity leave April 2020 - Coalway Early Years are able to recover the SMP paid, with a credit of £2,224.34 on our PAYE account for April - August. We have applied for £4,365.51 funding from HMRC to assist with the SMP payments, covering CH full SMP period, this has not yet been received, as at 31/08/20.

Expenditure

Budgets were well managed during the financial year. Cost centres reported minimal inflation rises, as budgeted. Unexpected costs were incurred as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as increased cleaning supplies, PPE, a laptop was purchased to permit the Finance Officer to work from home, as per the government 'work from home' ruling and insurance premium inflation.

Business rates have been retracted from April 2020 - March 2021 as part of the government's response to help small businesses and charities - This rates relief saved £304.16 in 19/20 accounts.

Bank Account

Following the unfair closure of our bank account and subsequent HSBC processing issues in September/October we now have a new bank account set up with Lloyds Bank. Thankyou to everyone who supported me, during the stressful times and the patience and understanding from all the staff, whilst the banking was resolved!
