Rainbow Pre-school (Wickford)

Description

Welcome to Rainbow Pre-school, we have prepared this prospectus so that all parents/carers are aware of what we try to achieve at the pre-school and are given the relevant information to assist us in achieving this.

Our pre-school lead is Mrs Donna Ellis, and her deputy is Mrs Carla Dabbs. We are run by a parent elected committee and our daily running is in co-operation with them. The Committee consists of a chair, secretary, treasurer and several general members. Like you, they are all parents with children attending the pre-school, so your children benefit from what they do behind the scenes; without the Committee Rainbow Pre-School cannot run. The main function of the Committee is fundraising. They organise many events and activities throughout the year, and with the enormous generosity of those who participate they have all been very successful. Our aims are: • To give outstanding quality care in a safe and stimulating environment in which pre-school aged children can attain their full potential by developing as individuals. • To work within a framework which ensures equality of opportunity for all children and families. Our offer for your child: • A specially tailored curriculum for pre-school children, leading to approved learning outcomes. • Individual care and attention made possible by a high ratio of adults to children, currently 1:5 for under 3’s, and 1:8 for 3 and 4 year olds. • Fun and friendship with children and other adults. • The support of a personal keyperson. • Opportunities for you and your family to be directly involved in the activities within the pre-school and your child’s progress. Our pre-school meets Monday to Friday 9.00 to 12.00pm and 11.55am to 3.00pm, during term time, (dates available separately). Our setting offers education and care for children from the term in which children turn 2½ years up to school age. We hope that your child’s time in pre-school will be a very happy and productive one. If you have any queries or if we can be of any help, please contact the staff or committee
