| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| The Wendy House Day Nursery Limited is a |
| 2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually viewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated |
| depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. |
| The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation. |
| Depreciation |
| Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under |
| construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows: |
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
| Fixtures & fittings | 25% Reducing Balance |
| Short leasehold improvement | Over the terms of the lease |
| Office equipment | 25% Straight Line |
| Plant and machinery | 25% Straight Line |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |

| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits. |
| Trade debtors |
| Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of |
| business. |
| Trade debtors are recognised at the transaction price. |
| Trade debtors are reviewed for bad debts on an annual basis. Any adjustment is made accordingly through the profit and loss account. |
| Trade creditors |
| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. |
| Trade creditors are recognised at the transaction price. |
| Share capital |
| Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis. |
| Dividends |
| Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial |
| statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared. |
| Defined contribution pension obligation |
| A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension |
| fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the |
| fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. |
| Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they |
| are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. |
