(Continued)
Structure, governance and management
Background
Little Doves Childcare Centre began its life in the 1970's as a Social Services run group. In 1991 Social Services handed the management of the group to a committee of parents and grandparents of children who attended that year. Under the guidance and support of NIPPA - The Early Years Organisation, and the Local Health & Social Services Trust, the committee spearheaded the group for the next number of years.
In 1997, the group received funding from the European Peace | programme which enabled further development and enhancement of the service. The group adopted the 'Peace Logo and changed its name to Little Doves.
In 2003 the group secured funding from the Big Lottery Fund, which was used to build purpose specific premises at the rear of the West Winds Community Centre. The building was designed for the group's unique needs.
|
In the same year the group became a Company Limited by Guarantee, headed by a competent board of professional and business people with many years experience in the voluntary/ community sector.
Legal Structure
Little Doves is a company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital. Members guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of winding up. The company is governed by its Articles of Association. The company was awarded charitable status by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland on 15 January 2015 (charity number 101445)
Risk Management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the company and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.

Strategic report
The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.
Achievements and performance
Review of activities
Through 2024/25 the charity continued to provide quality childcare for children and their families and continued to pursue our mission statement which denotes the ethos "Little Doves - Supporting Your Community, Supporting Your Family, Supporting You".
The charity continues to work closely with the community through the management committee of the West Winds Development Association, the interagency group which meets quarterly to look at the needs of the area. The group has very strong links with the local Parents & Toddler groups, the local primary school, Sure Start, The Link and Ards Arena. We are also members of the Curriculum and Programme Support organisations (CAPS). Little Doves Childcare Centre aims to enhance access to education by children in their preschool year by meeting the needs of every individual child. The centre aims to improve the early identification and assessment of special education needs, which will then be followed by appropriate intervention. In conjunction with the West Winds Primary School Nursery Unit, Sure Start and Scrabo Parents and Toddler Group, we continue to be an integral part of "The West Winds Education Community Forum" and education and support service available to the whole community.
Day to day activities and special events
Throughout the year the staff carefully planned and evaluated the preschool activities. Staff ensured each child was given full use of both the indoor and outdoor facilities. In partnership with parents we planned various information sessions for parents addressing topics such as; learning in the Early Years, behaviour management, health and well-being. Parents, grandparents and carers participated in various fundraising events.
Visitors
Visitors to pre-school included music and movement activities Wee Critters, Therapy Pony, the local minister and local emergency services.
Networking
As part of our ongoing networking links, the group welcomed Primary 1 teachers from the Model Primary School, West Winds Primary School, Castle Gardens Primary School, Loughries Primary School and Victoria Primary School to meet parents and children. We continued to network with other pre-school members in the North Down and Ards area as part of our ongoing CAPS training.

Quality Inspections

Staff dedication and training
We are very fortunate to have a team of dedicated and caring staff and volunteers who work with the children and their families. The team is committed to maintaining their high level of expertise in childcare and education and continues training to the highest standards. All staff participated in cluster training, Child Protection Training, First Aid training and qualifications.
As part of the staff continuing development our staff continually improved their skills in identifying and meeting the educational and well-being needs of the children. All of our staff have attended intense training. Staff also had the opportunity to work with other professionals who were involved with the children and their families including speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, educational and clinical psychologists and the Social Services. team.
Little Doves and Silver Swans
We also continued our intergenerational community based project "Little Doves and Silver Swans". This involves our children visiting the local supported living facility, Cuan Court, to take part in activities to develop intergenerational bands and socialise with local elderly and those who suffer from dementia. Our children and the residents have thrived during this continued initiative and we will continue to build on its success in the future.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)
Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured, The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: -
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which can not be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the cost of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in the undertaking of activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
- other expenditure includes all the expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Any increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation , is recognised in other gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, is which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

LITTLE DOVES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) AS AT 30 APRIL 2025 nT
3. Accounting policies (Continued)
Depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value over the use of its economic life of that asset as follows: -
Land and Buildings 4% straight line Fixtures and Fittings 20% straight line Equipment {0% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indications of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
: For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which it belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes that asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortisation cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment in is subsequently measured at fair value with the changed in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

3. Accounting policies (Continued)
Financial instruments (continued) Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversal of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds the what carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render that related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
