  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Revenue 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 depreciation policy

    Depreciation is provided at 25% reducing balance in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

    Intangible fixed assets amortisation policy

    Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. 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. 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.

Company activities and impact

In line with our objectives for the last year we have: For the past 25 years we continue to sit at the heart of the village and have been incredibly busy providing integrated childcare for 0–12-year olds as always. We support the quality of life for local families in Mid Essex. We have continued to create a welcoming, stimulating, and safe family centered community service to enhance childhood experiences for all local children. The club is driven by a set of core values in consultation with staff and parents, designed to meet real needs12 year olds. Our continued aim “to help every child flourish and reach their full potential through a holistic approach within our integrated childcare service for 0–12-year-olds”. To be an exemplar place of learning through play, the ‘go to place’ for childcare. We provide Ofsted regulated, nurturing, safe and accessible full day care from 7.15am - 6.30pm for parents of babies & children of 5 years old, 51 weeks of the year that complements our Kids Club for 3–12-year-old children. The two businesses enable a full package (holistic) of childcare provision; they share a common vision, set of values, overarching priorities, operating processes and procedures for 0 - 12 yr olds all from one integrated site. We continue to employ, develop and train different local people either as paid employees or volunteers towards becoming childcare professionals thereby adding to the economic well-being of the local community. All staff in this team continue to invest in Playwork development and ensure they are allied to the best all round programmes appealing to the older age range. At full service inset days this team often leads the activity based parts of the day bringing energy and motivation into the room. By working with partners from the local schools, health and early years departments we ensure we provide engaging services which meet real needs. We have facilitated activities and programmes’ for the benefit of local children, families and community groups and have offered dedicated property and our resources to other organisations. We ensured that we supported other local groups by investing in their services in the holidays with off- site trips. These enhance our own programmes and raise the profile of other allied businesses. This is also complemented by establishing and reinforcing different relationships with a range of our parents for the supply of goods and services, e.g. gardening, plumbing, building and supply of equipment. Providing a sustainable child centred service for the future, making the most of financial and environmental factors. We have influenced and been an active community partner, engaging local and regional organisations in areas relating to family welfare and childcare.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our children are consulted on a regular basis before and after activities and in the development of programmes that establish the themes for all our holiday clubs. Food featured highly this year with a large consultation between ourselves and our families on the quality and uptake of our menu. Children of this age require wholesome nutritionally balanced meals, but getting it right and appealing to this age range takes time and patience. The young people took ownership in designing the menu from guidelines offered. We worked with our partners in the Nutritional Alliance Food support programme to ensure the children had excellent choices to work from and now everyone is very happy, including the parents. At the end of the school year our children have started to be part of a graduating cohort ensuring the we celebrate their time with us. We continue to engage our parents to act as a steer and sounding board for the overall direction and needs of the club. We also fully utilised social media to keep our families abreast of activities and news on a weekly basis, we have also continued to produce termly parental newsletters ‘the vibe’ which can be viewed at our website www.jesterskids.org.
