What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: three months of unrestricted expenditure (held: £25k)

“We have reserve funds to cover maternity, sick pay and if we had to close, 3 months running costs and redundancy.” — page 6

Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The Preschool looking forward faces an unknown future. We have reduced numbers of children and must manage with two staff working more hours than they would like. Cover varies from promising to poor and we will need to address this next year. Recruitment of committee members is becoming more difficult as the number of children drop. A trustee has resigned during this year and has left the overall management of the preschool falling to a reduced number of volunteers. All these issues we will be seeking to address in the new academic year.”
