On 8th July, the Hermitage Preschool held a Family Fun Day to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the group.
The staff, the volunteers which form the group’s committee and church members all worked together to provide stalls and attractions to fundraise for the Preschool and Rainbows Hospice. Local businesses donated prizes and goods, and also ran stalls which all contributed to a busy community event. They raised a fantastic £1,160.67 which was shared between the two causes.
As the Preschool enters its next decade of provision, they are extending their opening hours from September to enable them to offer the new 30 hours of government-funded time for eligible 3 and 4 year olds. If you have a child aged two to five years, you can email enquiries@thehermitagepreschool.co.uk for further details about this and their general provision.
