ON THE MOVE: Carlton Hill Pre-School

One of the borough’s oldest pre-schools is on the move after bosses decided to leave the church building that’s been its home for over 45 years.

Carlton Hill Pre-school will be based at the Richard Herrod Centre, on Foxhill Road, from September; it will be run from one of their community rooms.

The pre-school has also announced it will be changing its name to Carlton Preschool Playgroup following the move.

The popular pre-school has been based on Carlton Hill for 46 years.

Maxine Payne, who helps run the play group, told Gedling Eye: “We have been here for 46 years and unfortunately the building has started to fall into disrepair and the landlords are looking to redevelop the building.

“We are happy to be moving now and looking to the future in our new premises. The staff at the Richard Herrod Centre have been very supportive, and so have our parents who are looking forward to moving to a more modern facility.”

The pre-school is having an open day tomorrow (21) to show parents around their new premises. You can meet and talk to staff between 1-3pm at the Richard Herrod Centre Community Room.

  1. I think the playgroup staff are amazing! and to want to carry on after all the stress they have been put through in the past months shows their passion and love for the job they do serving the community.

    Not sure who is happy about the redevelopment of the site or the way it has been managed but luckily for our children these ladies have decided to carry on in the new warm and easily accessable premises.

  2. Forced out by the Church! Disgusting behaviour from the priest! Good luck in the move and continue the excellent work you do away from him, let the church build its flats and make its profit!!

  3. So sad to see these amazing ladies pushed out to make way for the priest and his profit making schemes but the new place is better so the playgroup will continue to serve the community in the way they always have just a shame this was forced upon them and not a choice they were given.

  4. How very sad that after 46 years the catholic church are putting money and profit before local children . A very sad day for the catholic church .shame !
