Other Agencies / Links
County SENDCO
We link with our county SENCO when the need arises to discuss, in depth, the needs of our children. If you have any concerns or queries we invite you to speak with us here at preschool.
Students: Social Care Qualifications
We work with partner organisations to host students working towards their Social Care qualifications. We love having students join our team and know that, as well as us inspiring the next generation of preschool leaders, we take inspiration from them too.
Students: Work Experience
Annually, we work with Saltash.net to accept pupils who have a desire to work with young people for their work experience week. We see this as an important part of their development towards becoming the next generation of preschool leaders.
Our Committee
As St Nicholas and St Faith Preschool is a registered charity, we are supported by a committee formed from parents and family. Committee members are voted in annually and all hold the relevant DBS checks. They hold regular meetings to discuss preschool needs, and are a friendly group to get involved with. If you are interested in joining our committee, please speak to Tracey Pritchard who will give you further details.
Our Fundraising Committee
Our Fundraising Committee
We are lucky enough to have a fundraising committee that supports the preschool through the organisation of various fundraising events through the year. These events range from sponsored walks, to support from local businesses and to our annual Spring / Summer Fair that is a family event looked forward to by so many of the children. If you are a member of St Nicholas and St Faith Preschool and you are interested in joining the fundraising committee, please speak to any member of staff who will put you in touch with the team.
