About Us

Love Lane Pre-School is a registered charity offering sessional care and education to the under fives. The group has been in existence for many years, and was originally located in the Scout hut opposite the Shaw Social Club.

In January 1988 we moved to the present location, the Shaw-cum-Donnington Village Hall in Love Lane. We are affiliated to the Pre-School Learning Alliance. 

A copy of our constitution is available to anyone who is interested.

We come under the jurisdiction of Ofsted and are inspected at regular intervals. Ofsted can be contacted at Piccadilly Gate, Store Street, Manchester, MI 2WD Tel: 0300 1233153 www.ofsted.gov.uk or email at enquiries@ofsted.gov.uk. 

A copy of our certificate of registration is on the notice board in the hall, together with a copy of our insurance certificate. Copies of our policies are available on our website, and the last Ofsted Inspection Report is available here.

The Pre-School is run by a committee of parents elected at the Annual General Meeting in July. This committee employ the staff; a Manager and two qualified assistants who are responsible for all the children in their care, and the day to day activities of the group. We also employ a number of bank staff who the children regularly see.

The Pre-School is an equal opportunities employer. Each member of staff has an up to date DBS (CRB) check and is familiar with the relevant legislation and the Pre-School’s policy and procedure documentation.
