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

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The government increase in employer NI from April 2025 has had a major impact increasing payroll costs by over £25,000 p.a. As a result parent fees increased in April 2025 by 5%.”
• “The nursery has plans to regenerate the outdoor learning area with the provision of a pirate ship and new outdoor play equipment. The sensory garden was formally opened on 13 June 2025.”
• “A further 41 children are registered on the waiting list for places as at 30th June 2025.”
• “The company employs 35 staff, many of whom are long term employees. Recruitment of nursery staff represents a significant risk.”
• “At Sawston Nursery, funding for children aged 9 months to 3 years became available for eligible families in September 2024.”
