Pinner Parish Preschool has reached 60 years of operation, the Harrow Times reported. The charity-run early years provider held a celebration event for families and staff in Pinner this month.

The preschool, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, marked the milestone with a gathering that included birthday cake. Deputy manager Bev Parry was recognised for 30 years of service to the organisation.

Three decades of service

Parry told the Harrow Times: "I feel incredibly privileged to have spent the last 30 years at Pinner Parish Preschool. Watching generations of children grow in confidence, discover their personalities and begin their love of learning has been the greatest reward."

She added that former pupils have returned with their own families. The preschool’s Outstanding Ofsted rating was also celebrated at the event.

Charity-run model

Pinner Parish Preschool operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. A volunteer committee oversees its work, and all income is reinvested into early years education and experiences for children.

Committee chair Melinda Chukwuma said the preschool’s success stems from teamwork. "Celebrating 60 years is a testament to the generations of families, staff and volunteers who have helped make Pinner Parish Preschool such a special place," she told the Harrow Times.

Chukwuma added that the preschool’s charitable status ensures every decision prioritises children’s needs. She credited Parry’s 30 years of service as central to its achievements.

What happens next

The preschool continues to accept new families from the local area. No changes to its operations or Ofsted status have been announced.
