Our Committee
GET INVOLVED
The Pre-School is run by a voluntary Management Committee made up of volunteer parents/carers and staff. All Committee members are registered with Ofsted and have passed enhanced DBS checks.
The Committee as a whole is responsible for managing the Pre-School, employing staff, managing the finances, organising & manning fund-raising events and making decisions concerning matters affecting the Pre-School such as changes in the law, policies and procedures, new equipment, outings etc.
If you're interested in joining the Committee, please contact us.
The Pre-School Learning Alliance has produced a useful leaflet about the benefits of becoming a committee member- you can download a copy below.
Research shows clear benefits for children when parents become actively involved in their child's learning and development from an early age.
