A parent management committee - whose members are elected by the parents of the children who attend the playgroup - manages the playgroup. The elections take place at the Annual General Meeting, which is held in the Autumn Term each year. The committee is responsible for:

managing the playgroup's finances; employing and managing the staff; making sure that the playgroup has - and works to - policies which help it to provide a high quality service; and making sure that the playgroup works in partnership with the children's parents.

The Annual General Meeting is open to the parents of all of the children who attend the playgroup. It is their forum for looking back over the previous year's activities and shaping the coming year's activities.

The committee works on a completely voluntary basis. There must be a Chairperson, Treasurer and Secretary who are the "officers" of the Committee and a minimum of 3 and maximum of 9 other members. All members are required by Ofsted to have health and police checks. The playgroup has an inspection by Ofsted where the premises and the general running of the playgroup are inspected. All staff members also have the above-mentioned checks. It is the responsibility of the Committee to ensure that the playgroup adheres to all new regulations and guidelines.

The committee is also responsible for ensuring the financial security of the playgroup and organising fundraising events.

Being on the committee means that you have a chance to have your say and contribute to the running of the playgroup.
