We also have key-rings (50p) and drawstring bags (£3) which all show the 'Henley Pre-school' logo. Sorry but we don't have any fridge magnets left.
There are a few tea towels left which the children helped to design. Each child drew a picture of him/herself and these were all printed onto the tea towel with the 'Henley Pre-school' logo in the centre. They are a lovely keepsake and also make great presents for grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.

Magnets & Key-rings are only 50 pence each.

Tokens and vouchers
We collect tokens and vouchers for the following schemes:-
Morrisons - The 2011 scheme has now started. Please remember to collect your vouchers when you go shopping and bring them into pre-school. Last year we were able to order some equipment for our new garden area, so thank you!
Nestlé box tops for books - we can use tokens to buy books or exchange them for cash. Tokens can be found on Nestlé cereal boxes and the scheme is ongoing. Last year we received just under £30 so well done and keep collecting!
Tesco - We used the 2,600 vouchers you collected in early 2011 to obtain a camouflage den-making set, a 'bee-bot' safety track with safety signs, some playground chalk and a junior mouse for the computer (made especially for little hands). Well done and thanks everyone!
Sainsburys - Earlier in 2011 you collected over 2,000 vouchers which we 'spent' on gardening tools and a new CD player plus a few other bits and pieces.We wouldn't have had any of this equipment without your support so 'THANK YOU'!
Haven Holidays sent us free 'sports day' equipment just because enough parents/friends of pre-school registered with them so thank you to everyone who took the time to do this for us. It costs nothing to do and in return you should have received a voucher or promotional code for money off your next 'Haven' holiday. The scheme runs every year so look out for details of the next one from pre-school shortly.
Recycling - help pre-school and the environment.
Instead of throwing them away please give us your used ink cartridges, old mobile 'phones and unwanted/broken items of jewellery. Just bring them in to pre-school and leave them in the 'recycling' box.
