Guest Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) Hi all Due to a decline in the numbers of children attending my pre-school it, sadly, had to close at the beginning of the summer holiday. I have had a lot of resources to sell and have been given permission to post the link below showing the items i have left. They have been lovingly played with and it would be nice if they could go to pre-schools, nurseries, childminders etc and of course parents, where children will still enjoy playing with them. Please take a look and feel free to contact me for further details if you are interested in anything. My email address is ............................ and i live in Staffordshire. http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj209/J...school%20items/ hopefully the link will work JO Edited August 27, 2009 by Guest E-MAIL ADDRESS REMOVED, PLEASE SEND A PM
Guest Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Joanne I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you have found yourself in the awful position of having to close. I know how hard it is to keep your head above water with falling numbers and rising prices but I am managing at the moment. The decision to close must have been horrid and it has made me feel really sad. Hope you find good homes for your lovely things!!!
HappyMaz Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Oh Jo what a shame. How sad that you have had to close. Thre are some lovely things here that I am sure other groups will enjoy using, even if they have come out of such a sad situation. Take care Maz

The decision to close must have been horrid and it has made me feel really sad. Hope you find good homes for your lovely things!!! Thank you for your kind words, it was really hard but once the decision was made it was a huge weight lifted. i have made some really good friends with staff and some parents and have been lucky to find a new job in a school starting September. The items shown are just a small selection of what i had, i have had a few open days and a lot of it has gone to childminders. its amazing what and how much you can collect, and the fact that it all fitted in one store room!!
