Sowood Preschool and Community Association

As you are aware we are a charity run preschool and rely heavily on fundraising and donations throughout the year to keep costs down.

We are asking for your support in donating items we use within preschool, ideas are, but not limited to wet wipes, tissues, cleaning products, tin foil, felt tips, paper etc. Why not ask extended family if they can also donate, the more items the better

We look forward to welcoming you all back on Tuesday 6th September. We hope you have all had a fantastic summer and are ready for the new term.

We are delighted to announce our latest Ofsted repot is now available to view please click the link below

Some of the lovely comments from the report:

Children’s smiles and laughter are contagious in this welcoming pre-school. They
enjoy their time here and show that they are happy, content and feel safe.

A strength of the pre-school is the support it has in place for children with
special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff work with children on a oneto-one basis to help them achieve the best possible outcomes. Managers use
funding effectively to provide children with additional learning opportunities.

We have amended the menu slightly up to the end of term and have incorporated meals that we know the children enjoy.

If you have any suggestions of meals we could introduce to try, meals you cook at home that your child loves then please send us the recipe! That’s the best thing about cooking our own dinners, we can change it to suit the children.

Here is the menu… week commencing 13th December it will be slightly different as we are having our Christmas dinner on Weds 15th December.

13th Dec – Jacket Potato with choice of filling

14th Dec – Mac n Cheese

15th Dec – Christmas Dinner (turkey and trimmings)

16th Dec – Lasagne

17th Dec – Homemade pizza

Ofsted will be at Preschool on Friday 2nd July, if parents/carers would like to speak to the inspector please ask a member of staff.

We have been lucky enough to receive a grant from Community Foundation Calderdale to enable us to provide some families with help towards food shopping over the Easter holidays.
