Findon preschool launches appeal for new building
Tucked away behind Findon Village Hall, the preschool is an integral part of the village, providing good early years learning for children in the area.
The Little Build appeal was launched at the Village House pub in Findon at the end of June with the goal to build a like-for-like replacement which fits in with the village ethos.

Kalena Steele, from the preschool committee, said: “The school is hoping to also be registered as a Forest School come the autumn and due to the great outside space and the rural location, this would be a great asset to the village.”
Staff and committee members say many happy memories have been created in the current building, which was originally a café from Bognor, brought into the village as a youth club.
Launching the appeal, the committee said: “The building is very tired and in need of updating to become more economical, more efficient and more suitable for the future.

“We desperately want to continue to provide a service for the children for many years to come. As a not-for-profit charity, we have some serious fundraising to do for our Little Build to secure the heritage of our beloved preschool.”
