Management & Administration
Bramblebrook is a committee run pre-school, ensuring that the major decisions are made by parents who use the playgroup. The committee is responsible for employment of staff and reviewing of fees and policies. The AGM takes place at the start of the autumn term; however, parents are welcome to join the committee at any time.
