Our partnership with parents
Pirton Pre-School recognises that parents are the first and most important educators of their children. All the staff see themselves as co-workers with you in providing care and education for your child. There are many ways in which parents take part in making the Pre-School a welcoming and stimulating place for children and parents such as:
Sharing their own special interests with the children
Becoming part of the management committee of the Pre-School. All parents become voting members of Pirton Pre-School and are expected to attend at least the Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Exchanging knowledge about their children’s needs, activities, interests and progress with the staff
Helping with and supporting fundraising events
Joining in community activities in which the Pre-School takes part
Building friendships with other parents in Pre-School
Communication with parents
Regular e-mails are sent to parents/carers detailing what activities we will be doing with the children, general news and useful dates for your diary. Information is also shared via our Facebook page.
Our Committee
Emily Boothroyd
Chair
We moved to Pirton in 2022 with our daughter, Edie, and baby Tessa came along soon after. Edie loved pre-school and started at Pirton Primary in September 2024. Tessa joined the pre-school in September 2025.
I love living in Pirton and wanted to contribute to the village by supporting the committee and pre-school staff who do a brilliant job.
I work in Programme Management for an international development charity.

Feriaal Cole
Trustee
We moved to Pirton in 2022 and have loved our time in the village. Our son attended the pre-school and loved it. Our daughter started attending in September 2025 and we are excited to continue the journey.
I am looking forward to supporting the pre-school in the years to come as it’s such an asset to the local parents and the village as a whole.
Vicky Pope
Secretary
We moved locally in 2025 but our children were attending the pre-school for months before our move because we saw how wonderful it was. Both are very happy at the pre-school and the staff do an amazing job.
I am looking forward to supporting the pre-school as part of the Committee.
Aimee Kerr
Trustee
