Thame Pre-school celebrates 30 years

ONE of Thame’s longest running pre-schools, First Steps Pre-school, celebrated its 30th anniversary at Christmas.

Father Christmas and the parents joined in the celebrations at the party, held on December16. The current owners, Sheena Beard and Tracey Daubney, have been in charge for the best part of 20 years and hope to continue for many more.

Sheena explained: “During that time, the group must have had at least 1000 children through the doors. We meet at the Guide Head Quarters in Southern Road, Thame, Monday – Friday mornings 9.15-12.15 during term time, and also run three lunch club sessions.

Sheena added: “We have seen many groups come and go and we are proud to have been educating children for so long.”
