02 Activities

What the charity does

We are a local committee run pre school in Dorset and operate from a detached unit in the grounds of a local primary school. We currently provide care for 39 children aged 2 years 3 months - 4 years old. We help prepare them for reception/primary school and follow the EYFS guidelines to achieve this. To run smoothly we rely on Government funding, fees from parents and fundraising for resources.
