Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

OCTOBER

Our annual Halloween Party for all the children, family and friends of the pre school and surrounding areas. Involving the whole community.

EASTER

Our annual Easter Egg Hunt providing fun and refreshments for all the community.

SUMMER/CHRISTMAS RAFFLE

Very popular raffles with excellent prizes donated to us from local companies.

FUNDRAISING

Throughout the year we hold several events for the children to enjoy and also to raise valuable and much needed funds for the setting eg. Sponsored activities, cake sales

OUTINGS

We regularly take the children on outings throughout the year. Either visiting the local theatre to see age appropriate plays (The Gruffalos child), we have an annual summer day trip to local farm parks, which the children really enjoy.

REGULAR INTERACTION WITH PRIMARY SCHOOL

We are situated next door to the primary school and regularly open our gates in order that the pre school children and the children from reception can play together. This gets the younger children ready for their transition to ‘big school’. Most of the pupils at the pre school move onto the local primary school and this gets them used to a new environment. All sides feel this is really beneficial to them.
