parent information
Parent information
We have an open-door policy; parents, carers and grandparents are invited to be part of our preschool community. We pride ourselves on the strong bonds we build with our children and their families and this is reflected in the support they give us in return.
We offer a range of regular activities for parents and carers, from coffee mornings to wreath making with Clophill Flower club. This social interaction is vital for mental wellbeing and all our families are welcome. Please click below for upcoming events.

Ways you can support preschool…
-
Can you spare 30 minutes on a morning to help us change the children’s library books with them? We do this Monday to Thursday. Regular helpers are most appreciated.
-
Please make sure you have read our Clothing and footwear policy and ensure your child turns up every day appropriately dressed so they can benefit from all our preschool has to offer.
-
At preschool we have wet bags that we lend you to take home any wet clothes, one of our ways of saving on plastic use. Please try and get them washed and returned to us as quickly as possible, we only have a limited number. Thank you!
-
It goes without saying that your children will benefit from you modelling good time keeping for them. Arriving late for preschool can be disruptive to our session and being late to pick up at the end of session can be distressing for everyone. Your good time keeping is most appreciated.
-
Don’t forget to let us know if your child is going to be absent and do keep us informed of any significant family events so that we can holistically support your child.
