Committee

Did you know that Happy Hours is run by an elected committee of parents? Our committee is critical to fundraising for the pre-school and we're always looking for new members.

Being part of the Happy Hours committee is fun, fulfilling, a great way to meet other local parents, and a wonderful way to get involved in pre-school life.

It's a fantastic way to get involved with your child's Early Years education, and support their setting.

And it's not a huge demand on your time. We usually meet a couple of times each term to make key decisions, and help out with fundraising events. Contribute as much or as little time as you're able to.

Please get in touch if you can help out.
