Percentage of committee run Preschools

[Nyem]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know what percentage of early years education is run by charitable committees? Or know how I could find this out?

 

Thanks

I would ring or email Pre-school Learning Alliance main office in London, they hold membership data on all setting signed up to them for insurance, so should have a rough idea of how many of them are charity/committee run.

Good answer above - but I wondered why you want to know........(it's my inquiring mind - some might call it nosiness )

[Fredbear]

Yes I'm intrigued too.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you - a member of our team would like us to look into being 'taken over' because we are 'very unique' being committee run - annoyed me somewhat!

Thanks alot

Did you find out the answer? Seems like there's still quite a lot of us around really

[Fredbear]

Well your certainly not unique as we are committee run since 1968.

When she says taken over...by whom and for what purpose? seems a bit strange for a current member of staff to suggest this as it may impact on her job?

No i haven't found out yet but i will and i shall let you know. A newish employee (exteacher) brought in by the previous committee. The Preschool needs to relocate but we don't have the funds. At a crisis meeting this is what she put forward (when we all need solidarity) - i don't know who she thinks will take us over, we only just make ends meet with a volunteer committee!
