Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a loss of £1,914.87 for the year ended 31 July 2025, primarily due to low enrollment numbers and increased staffing costs. The trustees note that low birth numbers and staff shortages are adding pressure, requiring more families to join to keep the pre-school going. Despite the loss, the charity maintains unrestricted reserves of £40,096.03.
