Parents and the Pre-School

Our pre-school is run by a parent-led committee comprising chairperson, treasurer, secretary and general committee members. As such parental and carer involvement is an integral part of the Pre-School.

To help you feel welcome we have a parents’ notice-board, which you are encouraged to check regularly.  It displays news of social events, fund-raising activities, policies and information to keep you up to date with Pre-School life.  We also produce regular newsletters for all parents and encourage your feedback and comments. These can be emailed if you wish – please ensure that Liz Heppenstall (Administration) has your correct email address.

Various fund-raising events are undertaken throughout the year, enabling us to buy equipment with the money raised and everyone is encouraged to take part.  We are a non-profit making organisation and a registered charity.

We operate a help rota for the washing up (children's drink cups) and also request donations of food for the children’s snack time – ideas for healthy snacks that your child enjoys are always welcome.  Volunteers are needed to take home the pre-school washing at the end of the week (aprons, hand towels and tea towels). In addition we ask for help with outings and educational visits.

We are always keen to involve parents on the educational side as well as on the Committee. If any parent has any particular skill or interest eg musical, theatrical, artistic, they would like to share with the children they are more than welcome to participate in any session.
