Financial Report
During 2023 – 24 financial year our income generating capacity has seen a positive increase this year, we haven’t been able to secure any grants this year, but we have had the positive of us sustaining the company with just childcare fees. We always strive to further increase our footfall and subsequent income so will continue to market the setting, we believe our planned projects for the year ahead will set us on the right path to achieve this.
