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

• “A General Election in 2024 presented an opportunity to shape political parties' pledges on the future direction of childcare policy. NDNA had laid the groundwork with a Blueprint for Early Education and Care developed with academics, sector experts, providers and parent groups.”
• “The organisation turned these principles into direct policy asks in a Manifesto for Early Education and Care. At the same time, the Government's promised expansion began in two phases.”
• “From April 2024, all working parents of 2-year-olds were able to access 15 hours per week. From September 2024, all working parents of children aged 9 months were added to this, accessing 15 hours per week for the first time.”
• “In England, NDNA will continue to gather evidence from our members about preparations for the final stage of expansion of funded childcare to 30 hours for all children in working families from nine months to starting school.”
• “In Scotland, the Programme for Government sets out plans to expand the offer to more two-year-olds and pilot programmes of childcare from nine months-old through to the end of primary school.”
• “In Wales, the expansion of the funded offer to all two-year-old children in Wales entered its final phase from April 2024. This is being delivered by expanding the Flying Start programme.”

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
