Compliance with accounting standards
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities. There were no material departures from that standard.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets.
The directors believe that the company Little Hands Little Feet Limited has adequate resources available to enable it to continue to meet its ongoing obligations as and when they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Accordingly, the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparation of its financial statements.
The accounts are presented in £ sterling.
