A parent management committee - whose members are elected by the parents of the children who attend the pre-school - manages the pre-school. The elections take place at the pre-school's Annual General Meeting which is held at the beginning of each academic year. The committee is responsible for:
· managing the pre-school's finances;
· employing and managing the staff;
· making sure that the pre-school has - and works to - policies which help it to provide a high quality service; and
· making sure that the pre-school works in partnership with the children's parents.
The Annual General Meeting is open to the parents of all of the children who attend the pre-school. It is their forum for looking back over the previous year's activities and shaping the coming year's activities. All parents are encouraged to attend the committee meetings and get involved in helping to shape the future of the pre-school and help with fund raising. Speak to the current chairperson to get the date of the next meeting.

Copies of the pre-school's policies are available at Pre-school.
The pre-school's policies help us to make sure that the service provided by the pre-school is a high quality one and that being a member of the pre-school is an enjoyable and beneficial experience for each child and her/his parents.
The staff and parents of the pre-school work together to adopt the policies and they all have the opportunity to take part in the annual review of the policies. This review helps us to make sure that the policies are enabling the pre-school to provide a quality service for its members and the local community.
Special needs
As part of the pre-school's policy to make sure that its provision meets the needs of each individual child, we take account of any special needs which a child may have.
The pre-school works to the requirements of the 1993 Education Act and The Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (2000). The pre-school's Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator is Denise Coduri.
