Unfortunately that's a private group Sue.
There is nothing on the pre-school facebook page since Nov 2020 and the website isn't working.

Apropos nothing, I remember visiting River Primary when there were complaints about parent's cars blocking the road at beginning and end of school.
Taking photographs of the chaos I was accosted by parents who told me to stop as I might take photographs of 'kiddies'!

Received the following from my daughter when I asked her about it.
"From what I've heard when the old committee handed it all over to the new committee, everything was all in order."
