Stoke Goldington Pre-School is a registered charity that is run by the parents who form the management committee. All parents are encouraged to join the committee, without which the Pre-School cannot run. In fact we often have committee members that do not currently have children at the Pre-School but are happy to give their support as past parents. Committee meetings take place each half term. These are very informal and everyone is welcome to attend.
An Annual General Meeting takes place every Autumn at which the committee positions (Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer etc.) are appointed for the following school year. The committee is responsible for the management of the Pre-School and its finances along with the employment and appraisal of the members of staff. The day-to-day running of the Pre-School, activity and curriculum planning are the responsibility of the Playleader and her team.
We actively encourage all parents to become involved with our village Pre-School in one way or another. You may well find you develop new friendships and skills yourself through helping out and getting to know other families with children of a similar age. The success and long-term future of Pre-School depends on YOUR support – so get involved with your child's best interests at heart!
Fundraising
Fundraising is an essential part of the running of our Pre-School and we rely entirely on parents for this important task. Funds raised are used to keep toys and equipment up-to-date, buy new items and pay for staff training.
Rotas
Our rota system requires all parents to be involved in helping with the group on a regular basis. This system helps to maintain our high adult to child ratio and allows the parent to join the staff and see their child taking an active part in the group. Help is required 1 morning per Half Term and is great fun for both you and your child.
