Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Engagement has fallen for all aspects of our service during 24/25 and the full effect of losing staff posts to facilitate wage increases in 23/24 is still being felt with a reduction of child development places on offer.”
• “We continue to see a consistent increase in children with complex needs, neurodiversity and delayed development which effects speech, language and communication and emotional regulation.”
• “Receiving a cost of living increase during the year from Department of Education enabled us to be able to keep our staff team in place and stabilise our service which has meant a sustainable service.”
• “Major risk is a material reduction in funding. This has been secured for 2025/26.”
• “We have already been assured of an uplift to our budget from the Department of Education for 25/26 which will allow room for growth of the team and also allow us to take more children into our service.”

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
