- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- 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 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
- “The 2024 financial year was a stable and well-performing one for Hopscotch. All seven nurseries remained open throughout the year, and there were no acquisitions or closures during the period.”
- “We made further investments in the business, including significant refurbishment and operational upgrades at our Worthing site, which had been acquired in late 2023.”
- “Recruitment and retention challenges continue to affect the entire early years sector, and 2024 was no exception.”
- “Hopscotch continued to modernise its operational infrastructure in 2024. One of the most significant changes was the full implementation of the Famly nursery management platform across all sites.”
- “The company acquired another company in 2023 with a hive up of the business completed in 2024.”
