ST Mark's Pre-school opened the doors to its new premises this week, on the same site as Wyndham Park Infant, St Mark’s Junior and Exeter House schools.

Manager Sue Purkis, who has worked at the pre-school for 26 years, said: “This has been a dream for parents and staff for so long - we can’t believe that it has finally happened.”

Committee chairman Becky Green said: “St Marks is a community pre-school, run as a charity by a small group of volunteer committee members. Without the support of the whole community this move would have not been able to take place. We can’t thank everyone enough.”

The pre-school will continue to fundraise in order to complete work on the outside space and to purchase further equipment. If you can help or for more information call 01722 330382 or email stmarkspre-school@hotmail.com.

The pre-school is open term times only between 9am and 3pm.
