We then had another 2 children join us in October, and another 3 at Easter. This has been a great relief and down to the hard work of everybody involved with the Pre-school in advertising and getting our name out there. We have also worked hard on our fundraising and raised over £700 at our events including a new summer party which was a great success. We have applied for a sustainability grant this year but are still yet to hear the outcome, however without this we have managed to get by and have ended the year in a much better place than the start. We are very hopeful with the interest that we've had for Sept 24 that we will have an even better year.
