Hampton in Arden is a small village preschool offering morning play and development sessions to 29 children on four mornings per week, during term time. The preschool is run by one manager, one deputy manager and four qualified staff members as well as 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 after attending the preschool and so there are established close links between the staff in both settings. The preschool also provides a valuable source of activities and a sense of community for local residents with young children, which is becoming increasingly important as the village grows.
During the 2021-22 year, the preschool has put funds into updating materials and equipment used by the children and staff during sessions as well as organising sessions with external consultants, including drama, music and movement sessions. At the end of the academic year, a summer party was also held, including a ‘fun run’ with the support of the local sports centre, maintaining the sense of community links.
Most of Preschool’s income is fee income from parents and Solihull MBC and the number of children attending has increased since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. The preschool also receives parents’ voluntary contributions to top up the funded fee income for 3-year-old placements and continues to receive a small monthly income from the charitable clothing bank that was launched in May 2019. Additionally, the staff and parents have raised funds through various projects they have organized, including children’s Christmas tea towels, t-shirts and rucksacks for the children as well as holding a toy raffle at the annual local summer festival. Finally, the preschool received a donation from local theatre group, Hampton On Stage, in March 2022. Overall, the preschool is in a stable, good financial position currently.
Hampton-in-Arden preschool has a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. The preschool welcomed new management from September (2022), the staff continue building great relationships with the children and parents and children are making good progress whilst at the preschool. Attendance at the preschool also enables smoother transition to the local village nursery for those children who may have found this challenging and overwhelming. The preschool is also working hard to provide important support and opportunities for social development for those local children who’s socialisation was limited throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

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 2022, 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
