Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity's finances decreased during the year due to significant maintenance costs, including a £6,000 safety surface replacement and repairs to flooring and kitchen cupboards. The trustees highlight substantial financial risks arising from rising National Minimum Wage costs, increased National Insurance contributions, and potential future rent payments, noting that current government funding rates do not cover the true cost of providing a place. Despite these pressures, the pre-school operated at full capacity with a consistent staff team and maintained its 'GOOD' Ofsted rating.
