We are a charity and rely on a committee of volunteers to run the Pre-School’s financial and administrative affairs. The committee meets once a term.
All parents and carers are encouraged to take an active role in the committee and/or come along to meetings – without volunteers the Pre-School will not be able to continue. Please let us know if you are interested in joining the committee – we always welcome new expertise and enthusiasm!
