    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

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Depreciation is provided at the 15%, 20% and 25% annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

    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: Jesters Childcare at Beaulieu continues to support the quality of life for local families in Mid Essex. Specifically, we deliver our service to our Early Years children and community by ensuring every one of the 0–5-year-old children in our care has the best experiences to realise their potential. Our continued aim “to help every child flourish and reach their full potential through a holistic approach within our integrated childcare service for 0–5-year-olds”. Our Vision is ‘Building Futures for the Next generation. In our 6th year since opening we are proud to be entirely embedded into community life working within the Beaulieu area to invite partners in to work with the children along with taking the children out on visits for example delivering bouquets of flowers on mothers day and other special occasions. For the last 4 years we have held a Jesters community Gala inviting our own and the public's families to our events. Here we publicise other small independent suppliers and providers specialising in children and family pursuits. We provide our 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. We have continued to act as a proactive educational partner in the community As a natural feeder for the local primary school we have seen the community flourish with each generation who graduate from us taking their place in those next formative years. 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. 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. Providing a sustainable child centred service for the future, making the most of financial and environmental factors. Our business team has continued working on lowering a carbon footprint with our staff leading a range of sessions with the whole service through our Inset training days.

Consultation with stakeholders

We have influenced and been an active community partner, engaging local and regional organisations in areas relating to family welfare and childcare. With our early years’ service we will continue to extend our partnership working. Our hugely popular all staff inset days ensure the whole workforce are continually engaged in service wide training and development. Alongside this our annual staff surveys are updated, distributed and feedback to our staff at Inset so everyone is kept abreast of external and community trends/achievements, and direction of travel. 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. Staff members carry out consultation with the children on issues relating to staffing, activity programmes, equipment, enjoyment, challenge and whether to run again in the future. Taking an active role in extending the relationship we have with a variety of schools in the local community to better meet the needs of children over longer periods of time and at younger ages. Work with our schools has grown in how our younger children are supported with the Early Years Framework and currently we aim to promote our space in the day to a range of family/childcare and enterprise based services to further provide useful services that have previously been funded by the local authority. 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 utilise social media to keep our families abreast of activities and news on a weekly basis, we have also started to produce termly parental newsletters ‘the vibe’ which can be viewed at our website www.jesterskids.org.
