About us

We would like to offer you and your child a warm welcome to Willow Tree Preschool.

The preschool was set up over 20 years ago and we are run as an independent charity.

Our staff members are highly qualified in the care and education of young children and the preschool is run by the manager and administrator with the support of the staff and a committee of parents.

The preschool is a registered charity that abides by a constitution set out by the Early Years Alliance and agreed by the Charities Commission.
Predominately this means that a committee which is made up of un-paid representatives (parents or others that have an interest in the organisation) hold a position. The preschool committee is not the same as a school parent-teacher association or `Friends’ group, which mainly involves raising funds. Its role is more like that of school governors because it has important legal responsibilities.

It is essential that the committee reflects the opinions and concerns of parents whose children are currently attending the preschool.
