Roydon Preschool CIC provides preschool education for the children of the village of Roydon and surrounding areas. It operates from the Village Hall in the centre of the village. During the year Roydon Preschool CIC benefits the local community in the following ways:- Roydon Preschool CIC is a provider of Early Years Preschool education in the village. The majority of the children attending transition to Roydon Primary Academy, with which the preschool has strong links. This ensures a smooth transition for the children when they start full time education and helps develop a sense of community. Most children are able to walk to preschool so they become familiar with and care about their local environment. Preschool makes good use of the local amenities such as St Peters Church, Temple farm, the Lea Valley Country Park, the canal way river, the allotments, the community orchard, War Memorial, playing fields and park. This familiarises the children with the local environment, further developing their sense of community. Roydon Preschool invite local people such as the church reverend, the lollipop lady, local guitar and music group and dance group to talk to the children. We also take children to the mobile library to choose books. Roydon Preschool are involved and committed to helping local groups such as twice monthly speed watch activity in different parts of the village to monitor and report speeding and Neighbourhood watch to promote safety within our village community. Roydon Preschool provide employment for local people and a much needed source of regular income for the community Village Hall. Both Directors of Roydon Preschool are committee members of Roydon Village Hall, attending bimonthly meetings, working parties to help maintain and upkeep the Village Hall to a good standard for people of the community to use for social events. The Directors also contribute to the Village Market, helping to set up stalls, run a community stall and provide the refreshments twice a year at the market.
