Our aim is to give each child opportunities to be creative, to learn and grow through play. Parents and carers are valued and respected, consulted and kept informed. They are also encouraged, involved and included as members of our setting. **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to** There are two main nursery sessions per day for local children. We offer free nursery places for 3-4 year olds offering both 15 hours Free Early March **2012** **TAR** 2 Learning and 30-hour Extended Free Early Learning. Younger children from 2 years are accepted through the 2-year free early learning plus can be fee paying. Happy Hands offers children appropriate play and educational experiences in conjunction with the governments Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. We are committed to creating an environment for all individuals which **these objects (include within** provides equality and fairness to all, regardless of race, culture or **this section the statutory** religion. Within this we are proud to be able to provide an inclusive space **declaration that trustees have** for all including children with special educational needs. **had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity** We are regulated by Ofsted and adhere to all relevant health and safety **Commission on public** regulations.

(7.45am – 6pm) During nursery and club sessions we utilise all areas fully especially the outdoors, as we feel this provides and enhances a positive educational experience for all our children to enjoy and develop within. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. ## Section D Achievements and performance Our year has been action packed and full of a variety of interesting and **Summary of the main** thought provoking events. This has helped us to provide all our children **achievements of the charity** with a rich tapestry of experiences for all to weave together enabling **during the year** individual characters and personalities to develop and grow successfully. This is gratefully helped by the whole staff team, parents, volunteers and students, supporting and nurturing our flourishing space. Harvest time at Happy Hands this year has reaped an exciting yield of different produce. The children worked with great enthusiasm to collect apples, carrots and many wonderful tomatoes. Later in the year we planted radishes, peas and were extremely excited for the beans to grow just like in the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Although we didn’t quite make it to the top of the beanstalk. Over the year we helped everyone gain knowledge and understanding through experiencing different celebrations of many exciting occasions including: - Divali, Christmas, Chinese New Year, Pancake day, St Patrick’s day, Lent, Easter when Fr Dominic came to visit, helping us with prayers and blessings. This encouraged further interest around the Ascension and joining in with St Ann’s school Pentecost Parade by March **2012** **TAR** 3 Section D Achievements and performance making lots of noise as they set off to the local shopping centre, Fox Valley. A very special party celebration was held with our neighbours for the King’s Coronation in May. Working with all the children and their parents to get the very best for individual learning resulted in our ‘in the moment’ planning being adapted this year. Through observations we saw that many children didn’t want to or didn’t know how to get involved in ‘messy’ play. As we had never seen this before and after much deliberation we concluded that it was possibly due to the fact that the children were COVID babies. For all their lives they have had to keep their hands clean. We persued ideas and kept encouraging experimentation both with inside and out door play and success came by Christmas. During the year we have had a delightful assortment of different and diverse experiences and activities for the children to take part in. These are provided free over and above our meticulous planning and implemention of the EYFS curriculum throughout our environment. We started with welcoming back our **YOGA** lady. As soon as the children see her arriving they immediately make their way to the allocated area. **Noodle Performing Arts** entertained at the Christmas party and again throughout the summer term providing physical interaction through creative games and IMAGINATIVE activities for the children to engage with. **Rugby Tots** encouraged listening skills; balancing & kicking balls; matching; stacking and lots of running around. **Gymnastics** classes provided by one of our mums where absolutely fantastic, especially mastering forward rolls. **Robot Reg** helped us consolidate our childrens foundations for reading and writing with games both fine and gross motor that teach sound recognition, aliteration, oral blending and segmenting building on the necessary foundations for reading and writing. Our music man also provided us with guitar music to help the children sing nursery rhymes. In May we achieved for the 3[rd] time the **Sheffield Healthy Early Years Status** by demonstrating best practice in giving all our children the best start in life. Through our parent partnership and weekly emails we consistently provide links to topics helping to keep all our children Active, Happy Healthy and Safe. Our tooth brushing club continues to be a success during nursery sessions. Everyone including staff, parents and St Ann’s school were fasinated by the arrival of our incubator and eggs. We waited and waited patiently. Then we watched the eggs hatching and the chicks appearing. They were very loud and liked lots of food. We called them Millie, Dilly, Lottie and Dottie. It was very quiet when they went back to the farm. Training was very comprehensive as we again this year took advantage of the Sheffield City Council Early Years Professional Development Training Programme. All courses are reviewed and relevant learning added to our future practice to ensure that improvements and adjustments are embedded to guarantee we retain our **OUTSTANDING** status. Essential Safeguarding, Food Hygiene and Prevent training being completed by all staff. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 4 We aim to manage our finances responsibly, budget for predictable **Brief statement of the** fluctuations in income and hold reserves to cover expenses due to other **charity’s policy on reserves** eventualities including staff redundancy payments in the case that the Pre-School had to close. Forecasted running costs are looking to increase to £170.00 therefore the reserve we hold will include redundancy estimated at £35.000 alongside future building projects to include the now priority of the refurbishing of the outdoor play area due to deterioration and safety concerns. Estimates for this would start at around £35.000 The change to the financial year has enabled us to work with the advanced payment of the Free Early Learning monies we received from the Government to help organise ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## ~~ee~~ **Section F Other optional information** **Section G Declaration** ~~ee~~ **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
