Hampton in Arden is a small village preschool offering morning sessions to children four mornings per week. The preschool is run by one manager, one deputy manager, three qualified staff members and by a committee of parents and ex parents. The activities and objectives of the preschool are to provide three hour sessions to children addressing the learning outcomes of the EYFS curriculum, providing a safe and stimulating environment for 2 and 3 year olds to support their transition to nursery at age 3. Many children attend the nursery at the village school post preschool so we have established close links with the staff there.
Most of Preschool’s income is fee income from parents and Solihull MBC. The preschool relies heavily on parents’ voluntary contributions to top up the funded fee income for 3-year-old placements. Preschool also continue to receive a small monthly income from the clothing bank that was launched in May 2019. The staff and parents have also raised funds through various projects they have organized, including children’s Christmas tea towels, t-shirts and rucksacks for the children. Overall, Preschool is in a good financial position.
Hampton-in-Arden preschool has a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. The staff continue building great relationships with the children and parents and children are making good progress whilst at Preschool.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Hampton-in-Arden Pre School
I report on the accounts of the Pre School for the year ended 31 August 2021, which are attached.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
