- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the ability of Crank Nursery Limited to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “From a financial point of view the results for the year show a surplus of £135,774 compared to a deficit the previous year of £53,269.”
- “The main reason for this surplus is the introduction of the Government funded hours for children from 9 months plus and the high numbers of children attending.”
- “We have supported several local charities during the year, including Crank & Kings Moss Village Community Association and Crank in Bloom. We have also supported a local family in their fundraising after a terminal cancer diagnosis.”
- “The Nursery has been awarded the highest possible score of 5 stars from Environmental Health and St Helens MBC scores on the doors and achieved the Healthy Eating Award.”
- “Staffing levels have remained stable with little staff turnover which the Trustees consider is helpful for the development of the children attending the Nursery with high numbers of pupils being maintained.”
- “The introduction of Local Authority 15-hour funding for children from the age of 9 months has increased the number of enquiries received regarding places and Nursery now has a large waiting list for places.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
