A preschool is celebrating 60 years of serving its community.

Pinner Parish Preschool has marked the milestone with a special event, bringing families and staff together to celebrate six decades of early years education in Pinner, with birthday cake.

The event also recognised the outstanding service of deputy manager Bev Parry, who has dedicated 30 years to the preschool.

Ms Parry said: "I feel incredibly privileged to have spent the last 30 years at Pinner Parish Preschool. Watching generations of children grow in confidence, discover their personalities and begin their love of learning has been the greatest reward.

"It’s been wonderful to see former children return years later with families of their own, and I’m so proud to have been part of such a caring, dedicated team.

"Reaching our 60th anniversary and celebrating our Outstanding Ofsted judgement together makes it especially memorable."

Chair of the preschool committee, Melinda Chukwuma, praised the teamwork and commitment that have sustained the preschool over the years, adding: "Celebrating 60 years is a testament to the generations of families, staff and volunteers who have helped make Pinner Parish Preschool such a special place.

"As a charity, everything we do is focused on giving children the very best start in life, and every decision we make is for their benefit.

"I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved together. None of it would have been possible without the dedication of our staff team, committee members and supportive families.

"This year is also the perfect opportunity to recognise Bev’s incredible 30 years of service. She is the heart of our preschool - her kindness, experience and unwavering commitment have touched countless children’s lives. We simply wouldn’t be the preschool we are today without her."

Pinner Parish Preschool is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) led by a volunteer committee, with all income reinvested into high-quality early years education and experiences for children.

The preschool continues to welcome new families from across the local area.
