Parents of the children currently attending Humpty's Pre-school are the owners of the group. Parents need to be on the committee to manage the group. Humpty's has adopted the Pre-school Learning Alliance Constitution. The committee meet monthly to discuss the general running of Humpty's, plus ways of raising funds and how they should be spent for the benefit of the children, e.g. equipment, toys, outings and parties etc. The Annual General Meeting is held every October at which a committee is elected to administer and be responsible for the policies of the group. We need all our parents to be involved in Humpty's and we value your ideas and your help in whatever way you can give it. The elected committee are the trustees of Humpty's Pre-school and are entrusted with overall responsibility for ensuring that the group runs successfully. The committee is a way of bringing everyone together to consider problems and make decisions.
