We have received the following from the Chair of South Darley & Winster Pre-school, which we thought would be of local interest:
I am writing to you as Chair of the local playgroup running from the Burton Institute in Winster. Since we moved there last year our numbers have nearly quadrupled and we have extended our opening hours to 9am to 3pm, Monday to Thursday. I thought that parents in the Parwich area might be interested as it is possible to children to do full days with us.
South Darley Pre-school Parents is a registered charity run by a volunteer committee. It is registered for both the government tax free childcare scheme and from September 2017, 30 free hours of Early Years Education. Further information can be found on our website www.southdarleypreschool.co.uk.

We are writing to you all from Stepping Stones Pre–School, Parwich to let you know following an Open meeting on Monday 25 June 2012 the sad decision was taken to close Stepping Stones Pre–School, Parwich from Friday 20 July 2012.
We have placed adverts, asked for donations and held various Open Meetings to try and come up with ideas to keep the Pre–School going but this has been unsuccessful. The main factor is that we do not have enough children to keep us going resulting in our outgoings being far greater than our income.
We would like to thank the people and parents that came to the Open Meetings to try and help us, the members of the local community that have offered help and the blog team for posting all our information on the blog.
Thank you
The Committee of Stepping Stones Pre – School

Stepping Stones Pre-School, Parwich is celebrating after achieving an overall ‘Good’ rating after their recent Ofsted Inspection.
Stepping Stones runs from the new Memorial Hall in the village Monday to Friday 9am until 12 noon during term time.
The Pre – School was awarded a ‘Good’ in all areas of the inspection which included “The Quality of the Provision in the Early Years Foundation Stage”. In the report it highlights “A stimulating and challenging environment is created through a range of activities and experiences that cater for the vast majority of the early years learning goals”. It was also commented on that the children help during snack time “Their independence skills are well promoted as they help fetch the snack trolley and set the table”.
The Pre-School also make good use of the outdoor space at the Hall “Here children enjoy energetic play running around, kicking balls or riding bikes”. It was also quoted in the report “Children show great excitement when discovering a ladybird outside. Staff help them understand how to handle the creature carefully and use a magnifying glass to look at the colour and spots in closer detail”.
This is fantastic news for the Village and the Pre-School. We are currently offering a free taster session on Wednesday mornings. If anyone requires any further information on Stepping Stones please contact Helen Downing 01335 346317.

Click to open the minutes.
Stepping Stones Pre-School would be grateful if anyone in the village has any plant pots, tubs, seeds, or planted seeds/plants that they no longer require and would like to donate to us. This is so that the children can learn about how plants and things in the outside world grow. If you are able to help us please take your items up to the Hall Monday to Thursday 9am until 12noon. Many Thanks.

As you maybe aware the Pre-School needs to increase the numbers of children that attend otherwise it will have to close. If you have any ideas that could help us advertise Stepping Stones, ideas for fundraising, claiming grants or can support the committee it would be greatly appreciated. Some items on the agenda will be fundraising, location and opening times.
The Open Meeting means that anyone from the community can attend, again if you have any ideas, knowledge or can offer some of your time to support us, please do come along to the meeting, email steppingstonespreschool@fsmail.net or speak to a member of the committee.
Many Thanks

Minutes of the Stepping Stones Pre-School, Parwich Open meeting held on
Thursday 9th February 2012 Sycamore Pub, Parwich at 7.30pm.
Present
Emma Dickinson, Gill Harrison, Tracey Fentem, Jennifer Barker, Vicky Yeomans, Janet Gosling, Nicky Edge, Sam Lomas, Felicity Watkins, Katy and Andy Wayne.
Apologies
None
As this is an open meeting there was no Agenda.
Gill Harrison, Treasurer welcomed all to the meeting and gave a rough scenario of were we are at because of our Ofsted report. We might be thrown a lifeline Derbyshire County Council are visiting tomorrow (Friday 10 February 2012) to see how we have progressed since the Ofsted report and if they are happy we will get funding for 6 children (3 more than we were) from Easter. If we don’t then we can only run until May 2012. We currently have 10 children on the books and 6 leave this July for School. In September that leaves only 4 children this would only bring in £150 and it costs £411.61 a week to run at the moment. There is £500 in the cash flow and £900 in Reserve account to cover Redundancy if required. At the moment we are not viable to run in September 2012. Last year we had a lot of children funded so that’s what kept us going. We need to cut down on costs and push the Pre School.
We need to do all we can to try our very best to keep the pre school open. We need to advertise in/on papers, radio, page on blog – Jane Bennett will help flyers and leaflets. We will have to make a decision June/early July as to whether the Pre School will open in September 2012.
