DRAGON'S DAYCARE
Dragons Daycare is an organisation which aims to provide the local community with a high quality, yet affordable childcare service. We provide both 'wrap around' care for both the children of school age, and also nursery education for children. In addition we provide 'playgroup plus' early education for three year olds. We are able to provide care for 31 children from the age of 2-16.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity experienced a small deficit for the year ending October 2024, which was covered by the previous year's surplus. This financial position was attributed to increased food and staffing costs, despite an increase in income driven by the provision of 30 hours of free childcare.
