Parents
Parents are regarded as members of our setting community. All of our parents are valued, respected and kept well informed.
​
The pre-school is managed by a parent-led committee which consults parents to ensure everyone is involved and included at all levels.
​
As our setting is voluntarily managed, we also depend on the goodwill of parents and their involvement to keep going. Whether that means being part of the committee, volunteering to bake a cake for a fundraising event or coming to an event, we encourage all parents to be part of our community.
"Whitchurch Preschool gives my daughter the chance to learn and play with her friends and gain a confidence in a range of fabulous activities; cooking, sports days, music, science and the great outdoors. The staff are akin to a welcome family and I can’t wait for my son to join in the fun next year!"
