Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- McDaid & Partners
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees believe that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis as they have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties around the organisation for it not to be considered a going concern.”
Significant events
- “In 2025 we gave a donation to a local children's football club to support the purchase of new football strips and the rental of training facilities.”
- “We also supported the New College Lanarkshire Foundation with regular donations.”
- “We have also recently installed defib units in all nurseries which are accessible to the local community.”
- “An investment in staff wellbeing was also seen in 2025 with the creation of a new budget for each of the nursery managers to facilitate wellbeing initiatives for their teams.”
- “The surplus reported for the current year was lower due to the granting of a £400,000 donation to New College Lanarkshire to promote and support the interest of the college as our parent company.”

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
