- Affirmed
“The budget and associated cashflow planning undertaken demonstrate the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities. In support of this, the Directors have obtained confirmation from the parent charity that it will not make demand in respect of any intercompany balance arising in relation to the intragroup liabilities unless Action for Children Developments Limited has confirmed in writing that it has sufficient available cash to meet such a proposed demand and all other liabilities to any creditors of the Company.”
Significant events
- “The year has been affected by increasing costs driven by inflation and increased recruitment costs due to a challenging labour market. Focus over the past year has been ensuring all nurseries are profitable and this has led to a number of exits/closures.”
