As Trustees
we have found out a lot more about how Acorn is run and in particular how
much help is needed from parents to keep it running and make it a
success.
As
a parent you should be aware that:
·
Acorn receives no funding from the local
authority
·
Acorn is run as a charity and is non - profit
making
·
Acorn used to receive a grant to pay for the
rent of the room (acorn is totally independent from the school) but
this grant has been stopped.
·
The Fees Acorn receives direct from parents or
through funded places only cover staff wage costs and the rent of the
building
·
There are no grants to pay for new toys, books,
equipment and essential items like cleaning materials, toilet tissue
etc.
Fundraising
is the only way Acorn is able to provide the essential items and buy
new toys for our children to play with. On the Acorn playground notice board
there are details of the items fundraising money has already paid for
and items we are trying to raise additional funds for.
We always
need to raise funds to pay for new equipment and to replace worn out
items. There are many fundraising events throughout the year, but they
all reply on help from parents. Therefore we ask you to consider
helping out next time a plea is made for help for an event. Parents
really do make a difference, and a well equipped nursery really is
beneficial for our children. Even if helping out for a few hours is not
possible, a donation for the fundraising event would be really
appreciated.
Thanks for
taking the time to read this and we hope to see you at an event soon!
