Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the nursery is struggling due to low enrollment numbers, as parents are utilizing government-funded 15 or 30-hour places rather than full-time spots. Despite this financial pressure, the trustees report that parents are continually inquiring and places are slowly being filled. The document does not provide specific financial figures for reserves, income, or expenditure.
