About Riverside Pre-School
At Riverside Pre-School we aim to create a happy, safe and caring atmosphere in which the children can have fun and participate in new and varied play activities through which they learn to share, discover new interests and abilities and work towards the Early Learning Goals as detailed in the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage).
Riverside is a charity Pre-School and we offer childcare and early education to local children aged 3 and 4. We are located in the grounds of Monkton Park School and have been running for over 30 years.
We have a very good reputation with the local community and with local educational professionals.
As a registered charity the pre-school is run day to day by a small team of qualified childcare professionals and overseen by a committee of volunteers. The committee work in tandem with the Pre-School staff to ensure the smooth running of the setting.
We organise several events over the course of the year to fundraise with a view to support and improve the Pre-School and enhance the resources available for all our children and their families.
The last few years have been particularly challenging financially; Covid clearly had a huge impact and the increased costs of all our overheads mean that we’re currently operating at a deficit and eroding our contingency funds.
Any money we can raise is therefore essential to ensuring our ongoing sustainability.
