AGM & Committee Meeting

We have our first parent committee meeting of the school year on Tuesday 14th October, at 7.30pm at The Risley Park pub.  This will also be our AGM and see the election of our committee members.

We will be looking forward to upcoming fundraisers, with our annual Christmas Fair top of our list! As well as any other ideas that our parents may have.

We would love to see as many parents (and grandparents, aunts, uncles etc etc) as possible at the meeting.  This is your chance to get involved with pre-school and help ensure that we continue to be the best possible pre-school we can be.  It's also chance to meet other parents, make friends, have a drink and help out all at the same time!

Hope to see you there :)

Cake Sale

Well it's nearly time for our first cake sale of the school year!

Next week, 13th October, will be cake sale week; we will start selling cakes on Monday morning at the end of session and keep going until we run out of cakes!!

So all you bakers out there get your ingredients sorted and baking tins prepped ready to bring in your creations from Monday onwards...if baking isn't your thing then don't worry we like shop bought ones too :)

All monies raised from the cake sale will help support our Christmas activities; craft supplies, party game prizes, presents from Santa and special snack treats.

Thank you.

Derbyshire County Council Childcare Sufficiency Survey

Derbyshire County Council has a legal duty to assess the provision of childcare to determine if there is sufficient childcare available, as far as reasonably practicable, to allow parents/carers to access work, education or training.

The Childcare Improvement Service is now conducting a survey to highlight any gaps in provision and ensure that parents/carers can access high quality affordable childcare.  Parents/carers are invited to take part in their Childcare Consultation 2014 by following this link www.derbyshire.gov.uk/childcareconsultation

Thank you.
