Uplyme Pre-school CIO

In Uplyme's village hall, a short distance from the seaside town of Lyme Regis, the Uplyme Pre-School was founded more than 50 years ago. In 1994, the organisation relocated to the new town hall. An annually chosen committee, primarily made up of parents, is responsible for the overall management of the preschools. They also serve as the employers of all staff members and make all policy decisions jointly. This is in accordance with the company's constitution, which our group accepted at an AGM.
