This report provides a 12 month overview of total invoiced and forecasted income. It will include your fees in funding.

More > Finance > Financial reports > Annual revenue report > Select specific year > A graph appears & below is a monthly breakdown of where all amounts are being drawn in from.

The dark green is the total invoiced amount & the light green is the funding income.

This line is your forecasted income.

This is because the annual revenue report only gives you a break down in months taking into account finances from the child’s profile but does not specifically list all children.

This is because green shows the actual amount invoiced & black shows the forecasted amount.

The financial forecasting report provides you with a monthly overview of future fees which are forecasted over the year that you choose from the drop down. The graph displayed will always be the same as the annual revenue report graph. Under the graph a list of all the children within the nursery will be visible as well as a breakdown of their total fees.

Finance > Financial reports > Forecasting > Select forecasted year.
​

The graph displayed will show the total invoiced amount in dark green, funding income in light green & a grey line to mark out the nursery forecasted fees.

You are able to hover over each month & a pop up will show with the figures for each month inclusive of your invoiced amount, funded amount & your forecast.

Scroll down to under the graph & the monthly overview of future fees for children appear > On the left all children’s names will appear & their date of births (DOB) > Across the top you will see each month & an arrow > Click on the arrow.

Here you will see the following headings: Fees, consumables, extra items, extra sessions, other, funding deficit, funding deducted, discounts, total invoiced amount, funding income & total revenue.

If a child has a monetary value under any of these headings it will show in black if it has not been invoiced & in green if it has been invoiced for.

Typically, we would expect the figures in black to not be visible once an invoice has been made. However, if there is a remaining amount the remainder will still show in black. For example if the forecasted amount is £100.00 pound & we have generated an invoice for £95.00. The forecasted amount will show as £5.00.

Top tip: If this happens, please ensure your auto calculation date is set correctly. If it is not it could mean certain items like extra items will not be pulled through to the invoice.

Due to the nature of this report predicting future fees, as nurseries you should always add in sessions for new starters along with anything they may have on their account that costs. This will result in viewing more specific figures in your future forecasted reports.

Do not fear, this will update please do give the system a couple of minutes to allow for this update.

Here you are able to see all payments that have been made. You are able to search for particular children you are looking for and register payments with ease in 1 action!

Over time, some of the finance terminology on the Blossom platform has changed, not to worry! We have curated this list to help understand what terminology has recently changed:

Two rows have also been added: Deposit & deposit refund. Please note: These amounts are not included in the total income however they are included in the total outstanding.
