Good Morning,

​We have now been given more information on the announcement to close schools and nurseries from Friday 20th March.

The Government have made it clear in their statement that children should be kept at home for their own safety. 
We therefore regret to inform you we have had to make the decision to follow this Government guidance and close our pre-school until further notice.
We are currently contacting other Early Years Providers to see what provisions are in place for families listed as "Key Workers" and will keep you informed as and when we have any further information.
Full details of the closures can be found on the link below.

If you have any further queries or feel you may need assistance with childcare, please email us as soon as possible.

We like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the lovely comments we have received and hope to see you all very soon.

Stay Safe!

On Wednesday 11th July we will be holding a First Aid Awareness Evening to raise money for the pre-school. 
Stow Training will be giving life-saving CPR information in addition to First Aid for minor injuries. This will be held at Barking Village Hall at 7pm.
Tickets are £10 each and places are limited so please speak to a member of staff as soon as possible to secure your booking.
ALL proceeds of this event will be given to the pre-school.

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!
