GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 June 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

The group currently operates four children's nurseries, all located within Essex. After a challenging few years the directors are pleased to report on the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.

During the first half of the financial year ended 30 June 2024 one of the nurseries operated by the group was sold. Despite this the consolidated income statement for the year to 30 June 2025 shows that turnover increased from £3.31m to £3.67m, an improvement of 11%.

Further reductions in administrative costs were achieved during the year, which has resulted in the group reporting a profit before tax of £118,809, a significant improvement on the loss of £186,370 reported in 2024.

Since the balance sheet date trading has continued to be consistent. The groups bank borrowings have been renewed since the balance sheet date and reductions in interest rates will see borrowing costs fall in the financial year to 30 June 2026.

All of the properties owned by the group were the subject of professional valuations during 2023 and shareholders funds at the balance sheet date were £5.91m

The directors are also delighted to report that all of the group's nurseries have maintained a good Ofsted rating.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The directors consider the principle risks and uncertainties of the group to be as follows:

1. |  | Political risk in respect of change in government policies such as minimum wage rates and pre-school care and education. |

2. |  | Continued compliance with Ofsted inspections and the related regulations. |

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The board utilises a number of key performance indicators to enable a consistent method of analysing performance, in addition to allowing the directors to benchmark performance against similar business. The key performance indicators utilised by the board are as follows:

Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin measures the profit achieved on sales after taking account of the direct costs incurred. This is calculated by dividing the gross profit by group turnover. For 2025 the margin was 32.2% compared to 29.8% in 2024.

The ratio of sales to staff costs

Sales relative to staff costs is an indication of the efficiency of the nurseries use of staff and is measured by dividing sales by wages costs (excluding directors). As the single largest cost to the business the Board review this ratio on a regular basis. For 2025 sales were 1.6 times staff costs in 2024 the ratio was 1.54.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

AUDITORS

The auditors, Xeinadin South East Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Mrs S N Forrest - Director

17 April 2026

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

R&S FORREST HOLDINGS LTD

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of R&S Forrest Holdings Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of 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 our opinion the financial statements:

- | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of the group's profit for the year then ended;

- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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 group's and the parent 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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

R&S FORREST HOLDINGS LTD

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

- | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

- | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

- | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

- | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

R&S FORREST HOLDINGS LTD

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The objectives of our audit, in respect to irregularities, including fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses; to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit, to obtain audit evidence regarding compliance with provisions of applicable laws and regulations, and to respond appropriately to any non-compliance identified. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations our approach was to consider the following:

- |  | the nature of the industry or sector, the control environment and business performance; |

- |  | the results of enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; |

- |  | matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. |

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

R&S FORREST HOLDINGS LTD

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included UK Companies Act, employment law, tax legislation and health and safety.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

We assessed the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud to be in respect of payroll and the recognition of income. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

- |  | reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation; |

- |  | enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; |

- |  | reviewing material legal costs in the period; |

- |  | performing analytical procedures to identify unusual or unexpected relationships; |

- |  | reviewing correspondence with HMRC; |

- |  | testing the appropriateness of judgements made in making accounting estimates, journal entries and other adjustments made by management for indications of potential bias; |

- |  | evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business; and |

- |  | reviewing Ofsted reports. |

The likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

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 Report of the Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

R&S FORREST HOLDINGS LTD

Use of our 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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| R&S Forrest Holdings Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

| Amounts are rounded to the nearest Pound Sterling (£).

2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

| As permitted by exemptions available for qualifying entities under FRS102, the cash flow statement of the parent company is not presented as part of these financial statements, as it is included within the consolidated cash flow statement of the group in these publicly available financial statements.

| Basis of consolidation

| The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of R&S Forrest Holdings Limited and its historical subsidiary undertakings as at 30 June 2024. Those being Forrest Nurseries Ltd, Clever Tots Ltd, Beaulieu Park Day Nursery Ltd and Holly Trees Montessori Ltd.

| Significant judgements and estimates

| - |  | Uncertainties exist in relation to the interpretation of complex tax legislation and changes in tax laws. At the balance sheet date, tax liabilities and assets are based on management's judgements around the application of the tax regulations. A provision is made for the best estimate of any additional liability only when it is assessed to be probable that an economic outflow will arise. |  |

| - |  | Properties held by the group are revalued and included in the balance sheet at open market value. The valuations are assessed by the Directors, based on previous professional valuations and values paid for recent property transactions, adjusted for the Directors assessment of subsequent changes in market values. |

| Turnover

| Turnover represents fees received from customers for nursery care and is recognised at the point the company performs the service.

| Goodwill

| Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2005, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of ten years.

| Intangible assets

| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

| R&S FORREST HOLDINGS LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08088542) |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Plant and machinery | - | 25% on reducing balance

| Fixtures and fittings | - | 20% on reducing balance

| Motor vehicles | - | 25% on reducing balance

| Computer equipment | - | 33% on cost

| Freehold properties used by the group for the purposes of its trade are revalued each year to fair value. Revaluations are performed by the directors with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from those that would be determined using fair values at the end of each reporting period.

| Any increase or decrease in the carrying amount is recognised in other comprehensive income.

| Financial instruments

| The company only enters into basic financial instruments 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 non puttable ordinary shares.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax expected to be payable or receivable on the taxable profit or loss for the current year using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Where appropriate this amount is then amended for any adjustments in respect of prior periods.

| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to the Income Statement in the period to which they relate.

| Investment property

| Investment properties held by the company and let to subsidiary undertakings are shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Income Statement.
