Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the preschool returned to a surplus of £2,868.09 for the year ended 31 August 2025, driven by increased government funding for working parents which offset a decline in fee income. Per the trustees' report, free reserves of £21,622.26 exceed the stated policy target of approximately £16,600, providing sufficient funds to cover three months of expenditure. However, the financial review notes that pressures continue due to minimum wage increases and insufficient government funding for 3-4 year old places.
