Christmas Fair Success

We had a lovely afternoon on Saturday and in the process managed to raise £1196 for pre-school! That is an amazing result and we would just like to thank everyone who was involved in making it such a success. From our staff and committee who worked hard organising before and on the day to all those people who bought raffle tickets, donated cakes, donated prizes and who came along and spent their pennies on the day.

A special thank you has to go to Santa for taking a couple of hours out of his busy schedule to come along and visit!!

Christmas Fair

It's nearly time for our Christmas Fair! Put Saturday 26th November, 2pm - 4pm in your diary!!

We need lots of help to make this event a success.

• We need lots of cakes for our cake stall; donations can be brought into pre-school from Friday 25th November and from 10.30am on the Saturday
• We need donations for our bottle tombola, present tombola and Christmas chocolate tombola
• We are putting together a Christmas Hamper and are looking for lots of lovely goodies to go in it
• We also need prizes for our raffle so if any local businesses would like to help by donating a prize please get in touch with Jayne on 07960 983423

And parents remember that next week (21st November) is non-uniform week and all we ask in exchange for your child wearing their favourite outfits is a donation for our bottle tombola - wine, beer, perfume - anything as long as it's in a bottle!

Many thanks for all your support; all monies raised will go straight to pre-school so that we can continue to provide the high levels of care and education through exciting and stimulating activities that we pride ourselves on.

Upcoming Events

As it's Halloween when we return after the half term break we will be having a bit of Halloween fun on Monday 31st October. All children who attend on the Monday are invited to come to pre-school in fancy dress either scary or not so scary!

On Wednesday 2nd November we have a committee meeting which will be held at pre-school at 7.30pm. This meeting will be to discuss and prepare for our upcoming Christmas Fair so if you would like to lend a hand please pop along and show your support. All welcome.
