Starcross Pre-SchoolHome > Information > About Starcross Pre-School
We are a community pre-school, established in 1982 and situated in the Community Centre on the grounds of Starcross Primary School. Governed by a voluntary committee, we welcome new members to help with the running of the pre-school. We have an AGM in the Autumn Term each year and encourage all the parents/carers to attend. Ideas and suggestions from parents and carers are welcome throughout the year and interested parents are invited to attend our open committee meetings.
We receive government funding (Early Years Entitlement) for most children over 3, but we also rely on fundraising activities to help us cover costs. Parents' support at these events is vital.
Parents are invited every half term to let us know if they are able and willing to help out in the pre-school sessions. Parent Helpers are invaluable to the Pre-school and they gain the benefit of hands-on experience of their child's pre-school setting. We request that parents arrive 10-15 minutes before the session starts to help prepare the room for the children, the Play Leader/Manager will then direct the parent in how they will be of most help during the session. The Play Leader/Manager will run through Health and safety, Fire drills, Emergency Exits etc. We do have a parent helper handbook available providing helpful guidelines.
