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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Castle will develop Guardian house in Godalming. This will be a 100 place nursery and construction should be finished by the end of September 2025. The cost of construction is £1,135,000 +VAT. There will be a further soft fitout of toys and equipment of £200,000.”
• “When Guardian House is licenced we are going to move all the children from Shamley Green to Godalming so we can do an extension at Shamley Green. This will result in increasing the registration from 39 children to 50. The cost will be in the vicinity of £175,000.”
