Parental Involvement

Families and children are at the heart of Easton Preschool and we welcome parental involvement in several ways.

We are a registered charity and are managed by an elected committee of parents/carers responsible for the overall running of the preschool, reviewing policy and practice and for the employment and appraisal of staff.  

The committee are also actively involved in fundraising for preschool. Activities have included Raffles, Nearly New Sales, Face Painting, Quizzes, a Teddy Bear's Parachute Jump and summer BBQ. New ideas for fundraising are always welcome.

We rely upon our active committee in order that the preschool can continue to flourish and are always happy to welcome new members. 

You can find out more about the committee on the contact page of our website.
 
We welcome any parent with a special talent or occupation to share their skills and experiences with the children. 

Parental Feedback

We welcome feedback from parents and often run parent surveys and encourage parents to review us on Netmums and other websites. 

​Here are what some parents say about us:

The staff are very experienced and the whole atmosphere is warm and inviting. My daughter has settled in so well. She feels secure, has made friends and is learning so much. Her enjoyment is obvious as she often asks to go to preschool on a Saturday or Sunday! I can't praise Easton Pre-School highly enough. I would highly recommend it. 

What I  especially liked is that Easton is nappy happy - no looks of horror when a prospective parent mentions that their little angel is still in pullups. A lovely, warm, loving atmosphere. Go and visit! It's fab. I even considered having a fourth baby so I didn't have to leave the Easton family.

My 5 year old daughter (now at Big School) used to attend Easton Pre -School and my 2 year old son started there when he was 18 months! Both have had a fantastic time there playing and having fun. The staff Sandy, Jackie and Emma are all lovely and offer a warm and friendly atmosphere. 

A factor that I really like about Easton Preschool is that the children seem to learn to play together, accept each other and make friends early on - not  just sticking with parallel play. Preparing them for school is not just numeracy and phonics but the social aspect as well and I think EPS do that brilliantly. The EPS motto of learning through play works very well. The way that staff develop different themes is a good example of this - the seasons with the calendars, the cold, icy topic and Springtime from Easter hats to tadpoles and potatoes! People learn best in different ways: visually, by listening or by doing, and you, the EPS staff team combine these different approaches in a way that the children just simply enjoy.

Easton Preschool creates a happy, caring environment where the children all feel welcome and relaxed and able to grow in confidence as well as ability, at their own pace. Lots of settings have fab equipment etc, but they don't all have staff like our EPS team that give it such a special atmosphere. Children run along the path to pre-school - for them to do that you've given them a wonderfully positive introduction to school.  And you establish friendly, interested relationships with the parents/carers too which means the pre-school feels like a community hub and the children don't feel it’s 'us and them'.

Thank you for all you have done for our tribe! There have been lots of memories made in the 5 years that we have been at pre school. Thanks again for everything.
