Under Fives Roundabout is a registered charity and not-for-profit community group, established in 1980 in the Round Church Hall.

We are run by a committee of parents who form the trustees for the charity. We meet twice a term to oversee and help with the running of Under Fives Roundabout. The committee is vital to Roundabout. As well as helping with everything from fundraising to finances, we also act as trustees for the charity. It’s a brilliant way of getting involved with your children’s experiences and education, and a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people and see ‘behind the scenes’ at our preschool.
