Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the 2024/25 financial year was much better than previous years, driven by higher-than-expected demand for new funding for two-year-olds. The pre-school increased its capacity from 30 to 35 children per session to meet this demand. However, the trustees note the need to closely monitor finances due to rising business costs, including rent and minimum wage increases.
