HAMPTON MAGNA PRE-SCHOOL
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The
trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice
applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the
UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The aims of the pre-school are set out in our constitution and are to enhance the development and education of children
under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through
community groups and by:-
(a) offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, together with the
right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups ensuring that such
groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability;
(b) encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and
recognition of such needs in the local areas;
(c) instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.
The Committee of Management (the Trustees) has adopted a vision which is that every child should have the best
possible preparation before entering school. We follow the guidance provided in the Early Years Foundation Stage
Framework (EYFS) in order to provide high quality, open, inclusive preschool education and care to children who are
sate, free from discrimination and happy while they play in our setting.
Public benefit
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit by following the
guidance when making decisions and have not departed from that guidance.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The preschool has continued to grow this year with an increasing number of children attending.
In addition to NEGF sessions the preschool operates an Early Morning Club and a lunch club enabling parents to access
our services from 8:30am until 4:00pm on 4 days per week.
The preschool has a strong relationship with Budbrooke Community Centre which owns the building from which we
operate and has a very good relationship with the local council, with Special Educational Needs professionals and with
Budbrooke Primary School.
We were inspected by Ofsted in June 2024 and the Inspector found that our setting is "Good". The latest inspection
report can be found on the Ofsted website http://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/ and our URN is 200607.
Safeguarding
Nothing is more important than children's welfare and children who need help and protection deserve high quality and
effective support as soon as a need is identified. The Government issued guidance - Working Together to Safeguard
Children in 2024 (the 2024 Guidance) where 4 pillars of safeguarding are published:
- Protecting children from maltreatment
- Preventing impairment of children's health or development
- Ensuring the children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
- Taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.
We have put in place systems that respond to the needs and interests of children and families by complying with the
2024 Guidance, the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage and the advice provided by the Early Years
All staff, volunteers and trustees undertake safeguarding checks on joining the Preschool, in accordance with OfSTED
requirements and these checks are updated annually. Staff, volunteers and trustees undertake sateguarding training
relevant to ter role and tis training is updated periodically. Staff recruitment procedures follow the requirements of
Warwickshire County Council's safer recruitment procedures and we work closely with Warwickshire's Multi Agency
Safeguarding Hub.
The Trustees aim to ensure that the preschool is viable based on the income it receives from NEGF and parents who pay
for non-funded sessions. However we actively encourage fundraising activities and committee members, staff and
parents are all active in raising funds that help to deliver our aims and objectives.
Internal and external factors
The quality of our staff and the leadership of the Trustees has enabled the Preschool to improve its performance
significantly and this has been assisted by the support from the local community.
The demographic mix of the local population in Budbrooke is changing rapidly. The village of Hampton Magna has
nearly doubled in size in recent years with new private and social housing. This housing has brought in new families
with young children and the preschool is running at close to full capacity. The range of family incomes has stretched
and there are calls on our services, from those who can and wish to pay for sessions above and beyond the Government's
funded offer and equally from those families who rely solely on the funded offer.
We have noticed an increase in children and families who need additional support and that puts pressure on staff. So,
whilst we remain vigilant that strong budgetary control is needed, we are adding staff resources which are used in two
ways. Additional staffing allows the Preschool Manager time to access support and apply for additional funding.
Additional financial support for Special Educational Needs lags 12 to 18 months behind the need and is not paid for any
period prior to the claim for funding being approved. So the other use of additional staffing is to support those children
who need it with one to one support. We have fewer children on this funding so this has been less of a problem this year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
he Statement Financial Activities shows that the preschool made a surplus of £50,910 in the year ended 31st Maro
)25, compared to a surplus of £36,439 in the year to 31st March 202
Income from funding increased compared to the previous year due to an expansion of funding from the Government.
rivate tees tell as more of the hours were covered by Government funding. Funding for children with Speci
ducational Needs (SEN) fell although this was due to the preschool having fewer children with such need
Overall income was up from £160,856 to £173,477.
Principal funding sources
The principal source of the charity's funds is the NEGF administered by WCC. For parents who are not eligible for
funding or require more hours than the NEGF available to them, the pre-school charges €6.10 per hour.
Currently, the Preschool operates a single Unrestricted General Fund. As at 31st March 2025 the balance on this fund
was £121,829 which represents 99% of the expenditure for the year to 31st March 2025. This therefore exceeded our
target according to our reserves policy of holding at least 20% of year's expenditure at any time.
Funds received by the charity go towards the rent of the Community Centre, books, equipment etc. for the children and
wages for the staff.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The charity has adopted the 2011 model constitution of the Preschool Learning Alliance, subject to an amendment to
clause 5.5 to allow trustees to serve for 14 years rather than 10.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The Trustees are elected for one year at the Annual General Meeting. Retiring members are eligible for re-election
unless they have served on the committee in any capacity for ten consecutive years. The Committee is able to co-opt up
to 3 additional Trustees and a co-optee can serve on the committee until the next AGM unless they have served for 6
consecutive years.
Trustees including Co-Optees do not receive any remuneration or expenses in their capacity as members of the
management committee.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate
controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
The trustees have identified the following strategic and key operational risks and have measures and controls in place to
ensure their effective management:
grading by Ofsted or closure of the Preschool,
(b inack of a skil and experience if en of tie 5, Orated and ing in poor governance or financial management
(C) the impact of Government policy in relation to the doubling of NEGF and the capacity of the Preschool to deliver
this without disproportionate increases in cost,
(d) the loss of key staff,
(e) the loss of funds due to fraud, theft or negligence,
(f) the availability of Budbrooke Community Centre as a venue for the Preschool,
(g) concerns that potential new trustees may have in relation to their personal financial liability,
(h) currently, in South West Warwick, there is an over-supply of early years places for three and four year-old children
and we need to ensure our marketing strategy enables us to bring in as many children as possible. The over-supply is
expected to reduce over the next 2 to 3 years as the development of around 350 new homes in Hampton Magna gets
