Dependable figures for nursery decision-making
Bring funded and fee income into focus
Private nursery finances involve fee income, funded places, staffing commitments and premises costs that do not always move at the same time. We organise parent payments, funding receipts, wages and supplier costs, then reconcile the records to identify missing or duplicated entries. This dependable base supports year-end accounts and tax work while also showing what is happening during the year. We explain how income timing and fixed staffing costs affect the figures, helping you avoid decisions based only on the current bank balance.
Plan staffing and capacity with current figures
Payroll is a major commitment in a staff-intensive setting. We can coordinate wage calculations with pension duties and statutory payments, while management accounts show how staffing levels relate to occupancy and income. Cash-flow forecasts can then test the timing of receipts, expenditure and future capacity plans. We use clear assumptions so you can assess changes to fees, recruitment or available places. When year end arrives, maintained records create a stronger basis for annual accounts and the related tax compliance.
Frequently asked questions
How do you account for funded nursery income?
We record funding receipts using the relevant accounting period and reconcile them with supporting information. Timing can affect both reported income and cash flow, so we review outstanding or advance amounts where the records require it.
Can payroll support include pensions and statutory pay?
Yes. We can process workplace pension information and relevant maternity, paternity or sick pay alongside normal wages. We need timely employee details to calculate payroll and complete the required reporting accurately.
How can forecasts help with nursery occupancy?
We can test expected places, fee levels, funded income, staffing and premises costs across a stated period. This shows how changes in occupancy may affect cash requirements, while making the assumptions behind the forecast visible.
