Principal Activities

Provision of out-of-school child care facilities

Additional information

Having entered the year in a reasonably strong position, the Company had further improved its financial stability by half-year (end-February 2023). Founded in 1998 and incorporated in 2006, the Club occupied space on the site of Whitkirk Primary School. Following the school’s becoming an academy as part of Red Kite Learning Trust, the previously-favourable rent had been significantly increased. Despite a further rent increase, profitability remained acceptable and plans were made for enhancing the Club’s furnishings and fittings. In February, however, notice was given by the school that the lease would be terminated at the end of August. The school was proposing to offer the same services as the Company as part of its plans for “wraparound provision”. The effect of this was to force the Company out of business. Practically all the children registered with the Company were pupils or potential pupils at the school. Accordingly the Company would lose its clientele as well as its premises. During the spring and summer of 2023 negotiations proceeded to ensure that parents and carers would be assured of a continuation of services and that staff would be protected. Following consultation with the school and with the support of the employees’ union three senior staff and one part-time worker had their employment transferred under the TUPE procedure, retaining their salaries and length of previous service. July income fell to 35 per cent of previous levels and income in August was practically zero. With costs of the three senior staff still the Company’s responsibility, the year’s Profit and Loss Account showed a substantial deficit. The Company has not traded since 31st August and will close when all known outstanding liabilities have been satisfied.
