Christmas Fayre

Our Christmas Fayre will take place on Saturday 28th November between 2.30pm and 4.30pm.  There will be lots of fun things to do as well as a visit from Santa!

Leading up to the fayre we will be needing donations for our tombola, raffle, bottle tombola and cake stalls - so please bring any and all donations into pre-school.

During the week commencing 23rd November we will be having a non-uniform week!  The children are invited to come to pre-school in their favourite clothes or fancy dress costumes in exchange for their parents bringing in a bottle!  It can be a bottle of anything you like - wine, beer, shampoo, tomato sauce! Anything, as long as it's in a bottle!!

Inset Day

We will be taking an Inset Day on Monday 23rd November, please make a note in your diaries!

Committee Members Needed

We are in desperate need of parents to be involved with our pre-school committee, the Springfield Action Team.

According to our constitution, and our registered charity status, we need a parent committee to be fully in place for pre-school to be able to operate and function legally.

Our committee needs to consist of at least 5 named people.  Our current Chairperson and Fund Raising Officer stepped down from their roles at our AGM on 1st October but we failed to get any volunteers to take over their roles.  Both have agreed to stay on in their current positions but only until Christmas. 

So we desperately need people to fill these positions sooner rather than later, otherwise we would be breaking the terms of our constitution and would be forced to close our doors.  All committee positions are open to job shares - the more the merrier!

If anyone feels they could help out in any way please speak to Jayne at your earliest convenience - thank you!

Committee Planning Meeting

Springfield Action Team (our parent committee) will be meeting on Wednesday 21st October at Little Drivers in Stapleford at 3.30pm to discuss upcoming fund raising events, in particular the Christmas Fayre. 

All parents are invited, all willing volunteers needed!
