BEING PART OF THE COMMITTEE

Tavistock Pre-school is a registered charity that needs the help of parents to run effectively. Much of what we do as a committee is fun and very rewarding, and the children at Tavistock benefit hugely from our efforts and fundraising.

Many parents don’t realise just how vital their input is and how essential it is to have an active committee. We are always looking for new parents to join our team because without parents we cannot legally operate and provide places for local children.

The committee is headed by the Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary and they are supported by the rest of the trustees in the committee to work alongside pre-school staff to provide the children with a safe and secure setting that encourages their learning and development.

The staff, led by the pre-school manager, take care of day-to-day childcare and learning journeys to ensure all children meet the EYFS criteria. The committee looks after the management of the pre-school to ensure the setting operates legally. We are responsible for key tasks, such as budget control, staffing, fundraising, legislation, marketing and publicity, setting policies, health and safety, maintenance, and general administration of the pre-school.

If you feel you would like to get involved, we would love to hear from you. Just have a chat with our manager and she will be able to give you more information. We can’t wait to welcome you to the team!
