NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Creative Advances Limited 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 Company Information page.

The presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£) which is rounded to the nearest pound (£).

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Turnover
The turnover shown in the profit and loss account represents amounts receivable for services provided for learning disability day services during the year in the normal course of business, net of trade discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Freehold property-not provided
Plant and Machinery-at variable rates on reducing balance
Equipment-20% on reducing balance
Motor Vehicles-25% on reducing balance

At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The freehold property is held at fair value with any revaluations taken to the non distributable reserves in the year in which they relate.The property was previously included in the accounts at its original cost but was revalued on 22 June 2024. No depreciation has been charged on the property this year as the director believes the residual value is at least equal to cost.

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified by the director as basic or advanced, following the conditions in FRS 102 Section 11. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. The company has no advanced financial instruments.

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

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 62 (2025 - 62 ) .

The director has reviewed the carrying value of the property at April 2026 and, having considered market conditions and available evidence, is satisfied that there has been no material change in value since the date of the most recent valuation. Accordingly, the June 2024 valuation has been used in these financial statements, and the carrying value is considered to represent a reasonable estimate of fair value at the balance sheet date.
