What “gross profit” means here
Revenue less allocated direct staffing cost. Staffing uses a £13.50 base hourly wage, 17% employment-cost loading, a 25% cover factor and statutory ratios of 1:3, 1:5 and 1:8. It excludes food, premises, utilities, administration and other overheads. Actual staffing moves in whole-person steps, so this is an indicative comparison—not a guaranteed profit from one additional child.
