“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 charity'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
- “From September 23 due to change in funding entitlement early years funding is now 85% of the total nursery's income. The nursery cannot charge more for this service as Government fixes the hourly rate per child.”
- “Securing a £50,000 grant from Cornwall council to expand the honey jar to accommodate the increase in under 2 children seeking places to use their 15 hours early funding entitlement. Management are seeking other grants to aid in the completion of the build.”
