We are run by a voluntary management committee which is made up of past and present parents. All parents are welcome to join and support the running of the Pre-School by being involved with the production and evaluation of the policies and procedures, staff appointments, financial decisions and fund raising.

If you would like to attend please speak to our manager or any committee member.

Management Committee Roles

The management committee is made up of 4 roles – Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary.

All management committee members are trustees of the pre-school charity. One member of the management committee will have regular meetings with our manager (at a mutually agreeable time).

The management committee meet as and when required, in addition to the regular committee meetings.

Fund Raising

An important part of the committee’s work is fundraising. As a registered charity we have a fantastic team of parents who help with our fundraising every year and we would love you to help. Please let our manager or the committee know you are interested.

One way you can help is by using our easy fundraising page every time you shop.
