FINDON PRE-SCHOOL OPEN MORNING
The children and staff would like to invite residents to an Open morning on Wed 12th June and Tue 18th June between 9.30-11.30am to come along and see what they Play and Learn! The Pre-School are looking to raise money for their new building. The garden area has just been re-designed by some of the parents which has enhanced the children’s play and learning. The new building is really needed to ensure we can continue the same, giving local children lots of fantastic learning experiences for them to develop and grow.
Some organisations in the village have supported us already and we are really grateful for this. Please contact us if you would like to come along Tel. 07762 906911 or just turn up. Refreshments will be provided.
