The playgroup is owned by St John’s Methodist Church and governed by the Playgroup
Oversight Committee, St John's Methodist Church. This Oversight committee is
made up of staff, church members plus elected parents of the children who attend
the
playgroup, chaired by the minister of St John’s Methodist Church. The Annual
General Meeting is open to the parents/legal guardian of all of the children
who attend the playgroups. It is a forum for looking back over the previous year's
activities and hearing about the coming year's activities. The day-to-day management
of the playgroups is undertaken by the Manager at Baker Street, the Leader
at Oakmere, and the Deputies from both settings. The management work closely
with all staff who attend regular meetings to ensure the smooth
running of the setting.
Staff
We are very lucky to have staff who have been with us for many years, providing
experience, as well as staff with the latest qualifications keeping us up-to-date
with all the most recent government requirements. The children address us by
surname (ie Mrs Murphy), to get them used to this term of address for when they
start Nursery or school. All staff have been, and any future staff and volunteers,
will
be
CRB checked. As well as those listed below we also have students and volunteers
working (under supervision) with us at various times during the year.
