Help Save Portreath Pre-School
This little pre-school has been at the heart of our village for generations. With an Ofsted Outstanding rating and a team of dedicated staff who care deeply for every child, it has been a trusted cornerstone of our community.

But now, this beloved pre-school is at risk of closing.
Due to a growing gap between government funding and the true cost of providing high-quality childcare, the pre-school is now under significant financial strain. The government has increased the National Minimum Wage and National Insurance, but the funding they provide to settings has stayed the same. This has created a £30,000 deficit and a serious funding gap. With the rollout of the 30 “free” hours, these Government-funded hours are now the pre-school’s only source of income — and the current level of funding is no longer enough to keep the doors open. 

How Your Donation Helps:
Every penny raised will go directly to staff wages, ensuring that the incredible team can continue providing excellent care. While we as trustees have already cut costs, applied for grants, and planned for long-term sustainability, we need short-term help to keep the pre-school running.

If we can raise £2,600, this will cover wages for January, allowing the pre-school to survive until the next batch of government funding arrives. However, to secure the long-term future of the pre-school, we need £10,000 to relieve the pressure of constant fundraising and grant applications, which may not always yield results.

If Portreath Pre-School closes, there are no nearby alternatives. Families will struggle, staff will lose their jobs, and our village will lose a truly special resource.

We have a long-term plan in place. We just need to get through the next few months.

If Portreath Pre-School has ever been part of your life, or you want it to be part of your grandchildren’s, please consider helping. Together, we can secure its future for generations to come.
