We will be holding our AGM on FRIDAY 18th MAY at 9.30am in the Annexe at the village hall. We hope to see a good attendance to discuss the pre-school accounts and business matters. 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Arron Rose and his brother are hoping to raise £1000 for pre-school by driving a 3 wheeler car from Ipswich to Benidorm!

Good luck to you both and have a safe trip! Bonjour!

Last week proved to be yet another fantastic one for fundraising! We raised £1300 at our Ryan Gooding evening and £205 at our children's disco Saturday!
Since September 2017 our fundraising committee have worked hard to create a variety of events catering for everyone's interests and together with staff, parents, friends and family have raised a massive £6000 for pre-school! Thank you to everyone who has supported us!
This has taken away some of the financial worry since the Early Years Funding cuts in April 2017! Barking Pre-school is surviving and flourishing! THANK YOU!

The children have been working hard to create some lovely decorations for the Pre-school Christmas tree at this years festival. Please take a trip to St Mary's Church, Somersham this weekend to see our lovely tree displayed with many others!
