The difficult decision was taken in September 2024 to close the Pre-school at the end of the Autumn term (December 2024) The staff continued to provide excellent care and activities despite the challenging circumstances and the parents and committee are thankful their children have been so well cared for. We wish all the staff well in whatever they decide to do next. **DECLARATION:** The trustees have approved the trustees’ report above.
