Management of Pre-school
The Pre-school is managed by a volunteer Committee of parents who serve for a term not exceeding four years. The Supervisor is also represented on this committee. The Committee sets the Pre-school policies, manages the finances and engages staff. The Supervisor is responsible for the smooth running of the Pre-school on a day to day basis, and reports to the Committee.
The committee meets monthly in a member's home, and new members are always welcome. All minutes from the committee meetings are available for parents to view if they wish.
We had an Ofsted Inspection looking at Nursery Education for Funded Three and Four Year old children in June 2007. A copy of the report is available for viewing.
