Case Study

Child's play with proactive accounts management
Rocking Horse Day Nursery, Greens Norton

It only takes one visit to the Rocking Horse Day Nursery to give any parent the peace of mind that their child would be well looked after. And this happy environment has been able to flourish thanks to the backroom support of 10 Chartered Accountants.

Long-term 10 Chartered Accountants client Rocking Horse was established in 1997 when Victoria Poole started the business in her own family home with just one child to care for. Sixteen years on, Rocking Horse offers 54 places as well as yoga, french and gardening all on the menu of activities led by husband and wife team Victoria and Craig.

Craig explained: “We take great care to ensure each parent is included in their child’s progression to primary school.”

Originally, Rocking Horse brought 10 Chartered Accountants on board to help manage the year end accounts, however the relationship and service offering has further developed over the years.

“10 Chartered Accountants treats us the way we treat our customers with a personal approach to their work.”

“As we have grown as a business, 10 Chartered Accountants have continually offered effective business advice. From devising a bespoke spread-sheet to help manage our monthly accounts to offering advice when discussing a land purchase, 10 Chartered Accountants is always on hand to give us professional and realistic solutions.”

10 Chartered Accountants pro-actively devised a new system to help Craig handle his end-of-month accounts, something that had been proving a time-consuming and challenging process.

“They took real initiative to help me manage our accounts and went beyond what we had asked for,” said Craig.

“Anything that you ask the 10 Chartered Accountants team to do they are quick and responsive and that has been essential to the growth of the business.”

As Craig and Victoria continue to further develop the nursery business, having now gained an ‘outstanding’ accreditation from Ofsted, they know that in 10 Chartered Accountants they have a team of approachable, knowledgeable and efficient staff from the top down, who will look after the numbers while they look after their young charges.
