Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and they therefore continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “The most significant change in the last year has been the granting of charitable status to Paint Pots by the Charity Commission on 16th October 2024.”
• “Paint Pots Pre-School & Nursery Limited is now a charity (Registered number: 1210517) and remains a company limited by shares, with the shares owned by Launchpad Social Enterprise which is part of the Anglican Diocese of Winchester.”
• “We had four routine Ofsted inspections in the year at PP1 (Outstanding), PP7 (Good), PP11 (Outstanding), and PP13 (Good). PP10 moved into new premises in November 2024 in St Joseph's Hall, Bugle Street following a significant refurbishment.”
• “During the year, Paint Pots had reason to report a serious incident to the ICO, following a data breach which was experienced by the third party company that Paint Pots used for conducting DBS checks on staff.”
• “During the year the company received a one-off donation of £15,000 from Bitterne Community Pre-school (BCP). This money represented surplus funds from the closure of BCP and was used by Paint Pots to fund the salaries of the BCP staff who were re-employed by PP in the new Bitterne Nursery.”
