- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and they therefore continue to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “There has, therefore, been a major change in role for LSE in the year with Paint Pots now becoming a separate charity. It still makes its annual reports to LSE and LSE appoints its directors, but LSE has no direct say in how it is run.”
- “The Charity acquired 100% of the share capital of Paint Pots Pre-School & Nursery Ltd in 2022.”
- “With the complete support of the LSE board, application was made to turn this company into a charity and the Charity Commission granted this on 16 October 2024.”

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
