Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity utilized its reserve account to cover a deficit, resulting in closing balances of £9,440 against an opening balance of £24,212. The trustees attribute this shortfall to increased costs of living and National Living Wage rises, alongside a decline in expected funded income due to parents choosing other provisions. Despite these financial pressures, the charity remains stable with a healthy waiting list for the following year.
