Staff
All of
our
key staff are well qualified and experienced and all adults working
with the children on a regular basis have enhanced criminal records
checks and background checks. In addition, we may have extra members of
staff working as one-to-one support to particular children, students on
placement or work experience and regular volunteers. Please read our
staff page
for further information about our staff members.
Committee
Under
Fives Roundabout is run by an elected committee, which
ensures that major decision-making is in the hands of the parents who
use the groups. The committee is responsible for reviewing both policy
and practice, the employment and appraisal of members of
staff,
fundraising, and many other tasks that ensure the smooth running of our
groups.
Our Annual General Meeting at which the committee for the following
year is elected is held in October, however new members are welcome at
any time of the year. For further information please contact
enquiries@underfivesroundabout.org.uk
History
Under
Fives Roundabout is a registered charity and not-for-profit community
group, established in 1980 in the Round Church Hall. We moved
into our own premises for preschool in September 2008.
The building is located on grounds leased from the County
Council
at Mayfield Primary School and was built thanks to a lot of hard work
by a team of parents and staff.
Policies
Our
policies are reviewed by staff and committee on a rolling
basis
throughout the year, and new policies or procedures are added as
required. Please see our
policies page for further
details.
