Dear Parents/Carers,
Welcome to Banwell Buddies we hope you find this website as a valuable
source of information.
Starting Pre-school is a big step both for you
and your child. We hope your child will feel happy, stimulated and secure at
Banwell Buddies Pre-School.
There has been a Community run playgroup in
Banwell for forty years. It has been on the school site for twenty-five of
them. Over the years it has served the local families in the village very well.
Throughout its history the playgroup has maintained very strong links with both
Banwell Primary School and the local Community. Playgroup sees itself very much
as part of the local community and has established links with the Banwell &
Winscombe Children's Centre, the Baby and Toddler Group, local services, the
annual village carnival and church groups.
For the seven years of our
forty year existence, and small band of parents have been raising money for a
new building, our previous one had been condemned by the local authorities. For
the last 2 1/2 years our playgroup was in exile down at the Youth and Community
Club. Now however, we are back where we belong up behind the Primary School in
our new building, which opened in September 2007 and officially opened in
November 2007. You can see photographs of the rise of our new building in the
photo's section on the website.
Banwell Buddies is a community
playgroup run by a voluntary Management Committee. It is very reliant on the
goodwill of volunteers, committee members and an extremely committed staff
team. We hope you will take the opportunity to get involved as much as possible
in the running of the service and feel enabled to share your special skills and
experience to the benefit of all the children, should you decide to bring your
child to us.
If you would like further information or would like to
arrange a visit please telephone the office.
Yours Sincerely,
Vikki Fitzpatrick
Management Committee Chair |
