Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide the opportunity for children to develop to the full through play with creative and imaginative activities within a happy and secure atmosphere.”​


Pinner Parish Pre-School is a long established and popular nondenominational Pre-School in the heart of Pinner Village.

As a registered charity we are not motivated by financial gain but only to achieve the objectives set out in our Mission Statement and aims.

 

Pinner Parish Pre-School aims to:

  • provide high-quality care and education for children primarily below statutory school age;

  • work in partnership with parents to help children to learn and develop;

  • add to the life and well-being of its local community; and

  • offer children and their parents a service that promotes equality and values diversity.

The History of
Pinner Parish Pre-School

Pinner Parish Pre-School was formed in 1966 by a group of parents to serve the children of Pinner.  Over the years it has progressed and is still managed by a volunteer parent committee alongside a team of highly qualified and experienced staff nearly 50 years on.

As a community based setting, we are members of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, and as such all parents are regarded as members who have full participatory rights.

These include a right to be:

  • valued and respected;

  • kept informed;

  • consulted;

  • involved; and

  • included at all levels.

 

We are a registered charity managed by a volunteer Parent / Teacher Committee and as such depend on the goodwill of parents and their involvement for the continued success of Pinner Parish Pre-school. Membership carries expectations on parents for their support and commitment. This is the basis of the 'mutuality' that characterises a Pre-School Learning Alliance member setting.

The Management Committee is formed by parents and teachers who handle the finances, fundraising, some of the Pre-School’s administration and the organization of regular coffee mornings and fun events. The Committee and staff work hand-in-hand to ensure the efficient running of the Pre-School.
