“As a parent of a child attending Horns Drove, I felt strongly about supporting her journey and giving back to the preschool community.
Volunteering on the committee has been a rewarding way to do that.
I currently work for the civil service, and I hope my experience can benefit the charity in meaningful ways.
I’ve really enjoyed learning how the preschool operates and recently had a great time helping with the refurbishment of the outdoor space, It’s been a fantastic opportunity to get involved and contribute to something that matters to my family.”

Recent Testimonials
I just wanted to take a moment to share some positive feedback about Louise.
Our daughter ….. returned back in February after having a year off while my wife was on maternity leave. Naturally, we were a little apprehensive about how she would settle back in after such a long break, but Louise has been absolutely wonderful in supporting her through that transition.
Louise took the time to help ….. feel at ease again and made a real effort to help her settle—going out of her way to find things ….. enjoys, like Lego, and showing such genuine kindness and care. It made a big difference, and we could see how much more comfortable and happy ….. felt because of it.
It’s clear that Louise is incredibly kind-natured and patient, not just with ….. but with all the children. She’s always friendly, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure the children are happy and well cared for. We always feel reassured knowing Louise is on shift.
We just wanted to make sure her efforts and the positive impact she’s had don’t go unnoticed.
She’s a real asset to your team.
