Labour MP visits Pre-School

We were delighted to welcome Labour MP, Janet Dean to our Pre-School on Friday 19th June 2009, to discuss the Rolleston Pre-School New Build Project. Ms Dean met members of the Staff, Committee, children and parents to learn more about our fundraising appeal and the educational and welfare benefits our Pre-School has on the village and surrounding areas. 

Ms Dean stated her belief in children having the right to accessing high quality Pre-School education locally and will be seeing what she can do to help our cause.

The Burton Mail covered the visit in an article here. Many thanks to all who were involved in the visit, especially Janet Dean MP who took time out of her busy schedule to meet us.

Green Light Clothes Bank

Did you know that the average person wears only 30% of the clothes in their wardrobe? Why not put the remaining 70% to very good use and donate them to Rolleston Pre-School.

In conjunction with Green Light Enterprises and the Spread Eagle pub, Rolleston Pre-School is delighted to announce the arrival of a new clothing bank. Sited in the Spread Eagle Car Park, people can donate bags of unwanted clothing into the bank. This will be collected on a weekly basis by Green Light, and the Pre-School will gain a large donation for every ton collected.

The money raised will be donated to the Rolleston Pre-School New Build Fund.

So what better excuse to give your wardrobe a good spring clean? Please donate any unwanted clothes, in any condition, to the Pre-School bank at the Spread Eagle.

 

Thank you.

New Build Project

2009 sees the official launch of Rolleston Pre-School’s New Build Project.

Rolleston Pre-school has been fortunate to be able to rent a mobile classroom from John of Rolleston Primary School for a number of years. However, it receives no funding from the school and is run as a separate charity.

A structural survey of the deteriorating pre-school building was carried out around two years ago and it may soon not be safe to use. We have requested support from the local education authority but they will not fund the pre-school replacement.

We are aiming to replace the building by September 2010.

Without the pre-school, there would be a shortage of childcare provision in the village. The school has capacity for fifty seven reception places.

The pre-school is highly regarded and has been fortunate to recruit very experienced staff. We need to be able to provide assurance that we are doing everything possible to keep the pre-school running to retain them. It is the staff that make the pre-school the special place it is.

Following a recent change in Committee, we are now looking at new ways of raising money to make a New Build possible. Alongside various grant application possibilities, local fundraising and support is going to be vital for our success.

Please support us in any way you can – signing petitions, attending the events held throughout the year or endorsing any of the fundraising initiatives listed in our newsletters or on this website.

A new building can help maintain the excellent level of childcare and Pre-School education for many years to come.

Thank you for any support you can give to Rolleston Pre-School.
