Report of the Trustees
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.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The trustees have paid due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
The aims of the Pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by:
-
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;
-
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 area;
-
Instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.
-
Reviewing options toward increasing the hours of operation so as to provide a more flexible timetable to meet working parent’s needs, increase income and thus Happitime financial security and make better use of the facilities at our disposal.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Happitime Playgroup continues to provide an excellent service to the children and their families of the local community. Activities such as Cooking and Art as well as and outings were arranged throughout the year, linked to chosen topics and themes, in order to support learning and development as suggested by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. However this years Covid-19 restrictions have hindered some of our usually activities and trips such as going to the library, which has been replaced with nature and environment walks.
Favourite themes this year were: farm animals, mini beasts, exploring with textures and different materials, who am I ? project, singing and dancing as well as celebrating favourite stories & rhymes, weather, opposites, our senses, animals and celebrations.
Happitime’s healthy cooking sessions and independent snack times gave the children the opportunity to cook, taste and explore whilst building independence and confidence around food, using different types of equipment and making healthy choices. The children where encouraged to use tools to cut their own fruit and butter there own rice cakes at snack times and participated in group cooking sessions making yummy foods that are healthy. The children also enjoyed growing carrots, cress, tomatoes and broad beans to support our health eating topics.
Physical health remained an important part of the group routine and children were regularly able to have access to play times in our playground with large physical equipment such as hoops, a slide and wheeled toys which were available daily. Children were also made aware of germs and how they can effect our bodies. Children participated in good hygiene measures and understood the importance of cleaning hands, catching coughs and keeping clean.
This year we have increased the amount of times we visit our local parks as the feed back we have had from parents is that children have had limited outdoor opportunities this year due to Government lock down measures.
During spring and summer months staff provided children with ‘free flow’ opportunities that see all 7 areas of learning areas mirrored outside in the playground as well as indoors in the playroom. Children enjoyed the freedom of going out when ever they wanted and were able to transition well between the environments.
During
the year the children were encouraged to participate in a range of creative activities such as arts and crafts, messy play, singing and music sessions. Children particularly enjoyed malleable and sensory play including making play dough to take home and squeezing cooked spaghetti.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Happitime Playgroup Ltd
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2021, which are set out on pages five to eleven.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees (and also the directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independant examination, I have examined your charity's accounts as required under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
-
that accounting records were not kept as required by section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
that the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
that the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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; or
-
that there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
