Changes for Buckland Monachorum Pre-school Playgroup

After 30 years of exemplary service, Marion Maxwell stepped down as manager of Buckland Monachorum pre-school in July 2015. Her deputy, Shirley Fraser has taken on this important and challenging role and the pre-school is rebranding and embracing change whilst maintaining the high standard of care and education synonymous with this community based pre-school.

New initiatives include weekly “out and about” days where the children visit local attractions and amenities like the village park, the Garden House and the church. The Pre-school is also hoping to further develop their garden area to allow year round access including messy play in the “mud kitchen”. The garden plot will provide opportunities for enhanced physical development and expressive arts.

As a charity, Buckland pre-school has always relied heavily on its committee for fundraising. The current sets of incumbents are particularly supportive and have organised a wide range of fun, sociable events including a cider and pasty line dance evening and a Christmas wreath making event for adults along with Spring teas, a Summer family fun day and craft workshops. The events bring families together, whilst the funds raised have allowed for the purchase of new, quality equipment which benefits the children immensely.
