Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the financial year ended with a positive balance of £5,470, leaving the nursery in a stable financial position. The Treasurer's report notes that staffing remains the largest area of expenditure due to National Living Wage increases, but the charity is maintaining a small surplus rather than operating at a deficit. The organization continues to invest in resources and improvements for children while managing ongoing cost pressures.
