Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

The aim of the Group is to provide accessible, affordable quality childcare for primary school age children out of school hours. We hope that our service will be able to support working families and those in education or training and support parents in need of respite. We also open on training days to support these families. We aim to provide a stimulating play environment where the children feel happy, safe, valued, and respected. We provide choice, independence, and development through a wide range of play opportunities. We follow a three-week healthy menu for the children’s snacks. We operate an Equal Opportunity Policy.

TAR

March 2012

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

When planning our activities and compiling our annual Play Plan we take into account the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, this is discussed at our Trustees/Committee meetings. Play is at the forefront of the setting allowing children to express and develop themselves giving them the time, space, equipment, and materials to allow them to do this. We have a quiet area with a comfy sofa, TV, a selection of children’s DVD’s and a large selection of books for those children who maybe tired after a day in school or just need a place to ‘chill out’ for whatever reason. The play opportunities we offer cover the full spectrum of child development. They range from physical to creative including:

Large selection of outdoor equipment, bikes, scooters etc
• Den building
Football and Netball
Tri golf
Team games
Large variety of Arts and Crafts
Tabletop and board games, jigsaws
Pool table
Air Hockey table
Baking

We also have off site trips these include the Zoo, Castles, Museums, Safari Park, Farms and Educational settings. Children determine and control the content and intent of their play, by following their own instincts, ideas and interest, in their own way for their own reasons.

We aim to make our activity programme inclusive so that children of all abilities can take part. The staff and Trustees take an active role in making sure that the Club comes up to the highest standards of performance through regular Meetings.
