Preschool closure days

During the year we have 4 days when we close the preschool for staff training and development. We try our best to balance the closure days between both preschool groups, however on occasion some training dates cannot be changed. We'll let you know of closure dates at the start of each term.

Please refer to our general information (PDF 515KB).
