Alton Community Playschool was founded in 1985 and is located within the heart of the Alton Estate in Roehampton, London. We provide high-quality seventy-two funded places for children each academic year. Our children come from diverse cultural backgrounds and beliefs, many speaking English as a second language. Ofsted rated the Playschool “outstanding” in personal development and “good” overall during the last inspection. Many nurseries have closed within the local area for various reasons including lack of funding and there are a limited number of spaces in nurseries for children in funded places. As a result, Alton Community Playschool’s childcare service is vital within the community. We are fundraising to keep the nursery open so that every child within the local community benefits from high-quality education. The money raised will be used to support the following these key projects: • our core service of daily provision of high-quality tailored childcare; • develop the garden to reflect the seven areas of children’s learning; • purchase specialised equipment to support children; • become a Family Hub to support a greater number of disadvantaged families within the community; and We would also appreciate donations of personal care items for the children, such as nappies, baby wipes and clothes.
