All of us at St Catherine’s Church are very sorry to hear that St Catherine’s Pre-School has decided to close, but fully understand their reasons for having to do so. We have very much enjoyed the long relationship we have had with the Pre-School over many years, renting space to them and sharing our facilities.
We would like to wish staff, parents and children the very best for the future, and extend a warm welcome to everyone all to attend any of the church events in St Catherine’s Centre.
Originally founded in 1966 by members of St Catherine’s Church, the Pre-school has been run as a completely independent charity for many many years now. St Catherine’s Church has had no managerial involvement other than as owner of the space they hired.
