Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £3,583 for the year ended 31 August 2025, primarily due to a reduction in local authority grant funding. Despite the deficit, unrestricted reserves stand at £120,376, which the trustees describe as broadly equivalent to 12 months of operating costs. The financial position is characterized by variable funding dependent on child attendance and a decline in parent subscriptions.
