- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 group's and parent 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
- “In May 2025, we purchased an excellent property in Wolverhampton that was completely renovated and fully equipped with extensive childcare resources, an on-site commercial kitchen and staff welfare facilities, becoming our seventh nursery setting when it opened on schedule on 5 January 2026. Trading at this new setting has started very well with occupancy levels ahead of expectations in the first few months.”
