Parents Information Boards
Along with information on this website there is an information board for parents to view which provides useful information about the running of the Preschool. The board is on your right as you enter the premises.
A copy of all our policies are kept in the setting (also found under policies section of this website). You are welcome to read any of our policies or to view our complaints book.
Full details of our complaints procedure are in the Policy Handbook. We hope that any problems could be sorted out quickly and amicably by reporting them to the supervisor.
Facebook Page
We do have a facebook page, which consists of updates in the setting such as Term dates and any events that you would need to be aware of.
Search : LittleLambs Belvedere.
Please be aware that this is only for the parents who have children already attending the setting.
