There are some amazing prizes up for grabs, including 2 tickets to 'Santa Live' at the Electric Palace, a Nutley Farm family ticket, and a voucher for the Platform Restaurant.
Good luck everyone!
Waitrose Green Tokens
Waitrose Green Tokens
The preschool has been chosen as one of the beneficiaries of the Waitrose Green Token Community Matters fund in October.
Please support our cause by popping a green token in our section and remember to tell all your family and friends.
Memories for Money
Memories for Money
This is a lovely fundraiser to share with family and friends and provides the opportunity to talk about times gone by while raising funds for the Preschool. It might even prompt you to make a few new memories.
The idea is simple. All you have to do is ask your family or friends if they can remember doing any of the things on the sheet sent home. They sign next to every ‘memory’ they can recall and pay 10 pence for each one they sign. More than one person can sign next to a memory.
The sponsorship money should be handed in, together with the form to the Preschool by Thursday 12 November 2026.
Every child who takes part will be entered into a draw for a prize.
