continually strive to improve Pre-School and provide a rich and
stimulating environment for our children.

fantastic transition year and the use of the school facilities such as the
hall and library and field.

members, not least for Ofsted and DBS processes, speedy decision
making and confidentiality.

Managing to remain open for Key worker children during the
Coronavirus pandemic.

Continuing with a more formal and informative committee member
