STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Huggies Day Nursery Limited.
The company continues to operate as a care home from sites based in Newcastle, Staffordshire and Trentham.
During the year the company saw an increase in turnover of £1.18m. The increase in turnover can be attributed to the increase in occupancy at the Newcastle site, with the Trentham site operating at similar levels to last year. All three of the company’s care homes continue to operate with healthy occupancy levels and income has now recovered fully following the pandemic. Partly due to the inflationary pressure in the UK, cost of sales increased by £1.26m and administrative costs by £77k. Cost of sales also increased as the company was able to employ more staff and reduce its reliance on agency staff, also see principal risks below. With an increase in grants received of £32k, the profit before tax for the year was down by £77k and EBITDA decreased from £2,095k to £1,917k, (EBITDA consists of profit before interest, taxation, depreciation and income/write offs relating to investments). Given the inflationary pressure referred to above and employing more staff, the directors are satisfied with the performance of the company in 2025.
During the year the directors took the decision to use excess funds in the company to repay bank borrowings in full. The company therefore had no bank debt at the year end, although it has provided a cross guarantee for the bank borrowings of its parent company. Even after making these repayments, the company has strong net and current assets and cash reserves sufficient to continue to fund activities going forward.
The main risks to the business is the availability of good quality staff and maintaining its right to operate as a care home. The majority of the increase in cost of sales is due to increases in staffing costs. The company continues to develop existing staff members as well as offering new full and part time staff full training and a generous new starter incentive. The Company's most recent Care Quality Commission report rated the care provided by the Company as good.
The Company measures its performance by monitoring margins achieved against expectations. These are:
Turnover: £21,577,342 (2024: £20,401,119) Operating profit: £1,795,663 (2024: £1,938,793) Operating profit as a percentage of sales: 8.3% (2024: 9.5%) EBITDA: £1,917,905 (2024: £2,095,332) The directors review the financial information monthly and also send quarterly reports to the Company's bankers and take corrective action to any areas considered to not be performing to the expected standards.
This report was approved by the board on 19 December 2025 and signed on its behalf.

BRADWELL HALL NURSING HOME LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BRADWELL HALL NURSING HOME LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Bradwell Hall Nursing Home Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BRADWELL HALL NURSING HOME LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic report and the Directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic report or the Directors' report.

BRADWELL HALL NURSING HOME LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BRADWELL HALL NURSING HOME LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙Enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙Enquiry of management to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness:
∙Reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of management bias; and
∙Reviewing financial statements disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Balance sheet date, except that the recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits and any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of
financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares. Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
