1. Issues and concerns From time to time there may be issues and concerns you have with regard to your child and the Pre-School. On these occasions we would urge parents to come in and discuss these with your child's key worker or Bev Middleton. We have an open door for parents with any concerns and will strive to resolve these quickly. We believe our staff are the best people to help you and your children have a positive experience at our pre-school.
