Company activities and impact

Our community preschool operates for 34 hours each week, providing high-quality care and education for children aged 1–5 years. We access government funding to offer funded places, supporting families within our village and the surrounding communities. This year, we have further invested in supporting children and families by employing a speech therapist to work alongside staff, children, and parents. This partnership ensures we can effectively support and enhance language development and communication skills across our preschool community. We have also created opportunities for families and the wider community to engage with preschool activities designed to promote and develop understanding of early literacy and how children acquire these essential skills. As an active part of our local community, we were proud to be among the first groups to organise a ‘Bunny Hop’ fundraising event at Easter, raising money for our local hospice. We are committed to supporting employment and development within our community and currently employ seven members of staff locally, most recently expanding our team by recruiting an apprentice.
