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** 3 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. **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)** 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. **TAR** March **2012** 4 ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** Parents and carers offer a range of contributions to club whether that be baking goods for fundraising cake sales, volunteering to help with fundraising events or donating any unused toys or equipment to club.
