FINANCIAL REPORT 2024 AUGUST TO 2025 AUGUST
This years funding is down by £17,266 this year. Although we were full[to][ capacity][ we] had more 3 year old funded children than younger children. Also wraparound care has reduced considerably in after school club, however breakfast club is busy.
As you can we spent an extra £855 on preschool trips this year also. There the difference of a total of £19,499 reduction income this year.
Staff this year all had an increased in wages unlike the year before when three members of staff did not have an increase in wages and worked nonpaid hours to make up the income and ensure preschool bank balance remained heaithier than the year before.
This increase in wages and more resources being purchased this year and increase in rent has raised the outgoing this year by £9,718.00.
This therefore has resulted in a year-end balance of £2,344 rather different from last years of £31,561 (a large difference of £29,217) on last year and a further difference of a deficit the previous year of £15,028 (2023)
However last year’s cash funds carried forward were £69007 this years are £71,351. The bank balance this year totals £69,007 and last year it was £37,446. Leaving preschool bank balance extremely healthy at the end of August 2025.

Moving forward for next year the income is looking very healthy. Due to 99% of children having 30 hours funding from the age of 18 months onwards. This funding is £5.60 for three year olds, £7.67 per two year old and £10.41 for 18 months. All figures are higher than fees if charged.
