Little Acorns Pre-School is run by a Management Committee, mostly made up of parents of the children currently attending our pre-school. Being involved in the committee is a great way of meeting new people and getting to know the staff who are looking after your children. It gives you the chance to learn new skills and to use existing ones whilst fitting into a team.<\/p>\n
At each AGM, some of our members resign as their children have started primary school or no longer attend the pre-school. The pre-school cannot<\/u> operate without a management committee and would be forced to close.<\/strong><\/p>\n We therefore welcome new parents to join the committee. How much time you can give is entirely up to you – committee meetings are held one evening every six weeks. As a committee member we ask that you attend as many meetings as you can, but we don\u2019t expect that you can attend them all.<\/p>\n If you feel that you would like to join us, please tell a member of staff or a committee member.<\/p>\n Below is a brief outline of the committee roles:<\/p>\n CHAIRPERSON<\/strong> \u2013 Responsible for chairing meetings, liaising with Rachel, HR and being the OfSTED named contact.<\/p>\n TREASURER \u2013 <\/strong>Responsible for paying in monies, paying bills online and organising the auditing of the accounts once a year.<\/p>\n MINUTES SECRETARY \u2013 <\/strong>Responsible for taking accurate notes during the committee meeting and typing up these minutes promptly after the meeting.<\/p>\n VICE CHAIR <\/strong>\u2013 Liaises with the Chairperson and would take over meetings if required.<\/p>\n FUNDRAISING TEAM MEMBERS \u2013 <\/strong>Organise fundraising events, e.g. the Christmas Raffle, and the Festive Fair and Summer Fair stalls at the primary school.<\/p>\n NEWSLETTER EDITOR<\/strong> \u2013 Responsible for creating regular newsletters.<\/p>\n PHOTOGRAPH ORGANISER<\/strong> \u2013 Organises the Leavers Group Photo.<\/p>\n HOUSEKEEPER<\/strong> \u2013 Responsible for washing the pre-school tea-towels once a week and washing the dressing-up clothes once\/twice during the school year.<\/p>\n All committee roles are supported with help from Nicola and \u00a0the rest of the committee. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Little Acorns Pre-School is run by a Management Committee, mostly made up of parents of the children currently attending our pre-school.
