The most recent insolvency notice for North Edinburgh Childcare Enterprise Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 06 November 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holders are Brian Milne and Ian Wright, Insolvency Practitioners, Quantuma Advisory Limited, Turnberry House, 175 West George Street, Glasgow G2 2LB, appointed 2 November 2026. The petition was presented by North Edinburgh Childcare Enterprise Limited. The case is before the Edinburgh Sheriff Court. A winding-up petition asks the court to close a company and place it into compulsory liquidation, most often because a debt has gone unpaid. If the court makes a winding-up order, control passes to the Official Receiver or an appointed liquidator, the company's bank accounts are frozen and its assets are sold to repay creditors.
The petitioning creditor is another company, so the debt behind the petition is a commercial one — typically an unpaid invoice, rent, or a judgment that went unsatisfied — rather than a tax liability.

Petitions to wind up (Companies) 06 Nov 2026
A petition to wind up North Edinburgh Childcare Enterprise Limited was presented to Edinburgh Sheriff Court and joint provisional liquidators were appointed pending the appointment of interim liquidators.
What happens next
At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order. Until it does, the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, if the company has a cross-claim larger than the debt, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue or refinancing is put in place. If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, control passes to the Official Receiver and a liquidator is appointed to sell the assets and pay creditors in the order fixed by law.
Owed money by North Edinburgh Childcare Enterprise Limited?
