Settling your child into Pre-school
-
Pre-school will probably be a completely different experience for your child and we do our best to make the transition an easy one. Most children settle in quickly but do not worry if yours does not – talk to us so we can agree on the best approach for you and your child. We also welcome any information you are able to give on your child’s development and will note any concerns you may have and agree action plans where appropriate.
Our keyworker system gives each member of staff particular responsibility for a few children and means that each child has a special adult to relate to. This ensures that all children are supported in reaching their full potential and we also have specially trained staff to cater for Special Educational Needs children, so if your child has any Special Educational Needs then please speak to the Supervisor.
At each session we always welcome the involvement of parents and you are invited to join us to play with the children, look out for our “stay and play” rota in the foyer

How you can support Rainbow
-
All parents are invited to attend the Annual General Meeting usually held in October and also the Committee Meetings that are held at regular intervals throughout the year.
The overheads and other running costs of the Pre-school are met by the fees but to help pay for new equipment, toys, arts & crafts etc. we rely heavily on fund-raising. We hold various fund raising events throughout the year such as our Christmas Concert and Fayre as well sending home various brochures for you to look at and which pay Rainbow a commission on any orders you place.
Any help or donations that our parents can give us are always very gratefully received so if you would like to be involved or are interested in joining the Committee please speak to a member of staff. Everyone is always very welcome.
