Preschool News
See Managerfs Report (attached to minutes)
Preschool is thrNin& and numbers of children have grown rapidly. There are currently k)ts of 2 year-
olds on role.
Preschool now opens at 8:15am and demand for this is picking up.
The council have approached preschool to discuss providing an after-school provision for children at
Dringhouses School. stsff are considering the possibility. however there are issues with staffing and
resources to consider.
Charlotte and Vikki will be visiting other preschool settings to share ideas and learn how other
settings do things. In the ftrture it may be possible to link up so that there is one committee covering
a numberofpreschools.
The need for Preschool to be abTe to open every day É5 becoming more appa￿nt, but the church are
still hesitant about the idea of Preschool using the building on Wednesday afternoon5 and Fridays.
Preschool using the building more would benefft the church by bringing in more money for the
church. and may also help families want to come along to the church on a Sunday too. Charlotte and
Vikki will try to build relationships with the church. for example attending church meetings and
offering to put links to the church website on the Preschool website. Charlotte and Vikki will also
start looking in to whether there is another venue that coukl be used for the Preschool.

Preschool is getting back to operating as they were prior to the pandemic. and bener￿Ing from re-
establishing SUPF)Ort networks with other settings.
Clèire currentfy does lots of administration tasks. It wa5 suggested that it may worth considering
paying someone (possibly a parent?) to do these ft)r a few IK)urs a week to free Claire up.
Fundraisin
The summer event was very Suc￿sSfUl.

Preschool is one of the three charities who will be allocated funding by Tesco depending on how

encouraging everyone to use their blue tokens to vote for preschool.
