Complaints

Our preschool believes that children and parents are entitled to expect courtesy and prompt, careful, attention to their needs and wishes. We welcome suggestions on how to improve our preschool and will give prompt and serious attention to any concerns about the running of the preschool. We anticipate that most concerns will be resolved quickly by an informal approach to the preschool leader. If this does not achieve the desired result, we have a set of procedures for dealing with concerns.
