St John's Pre-School And Toddler Group

St John’s Preschool, Crowborough is nestled on the outskirts of the Ashdown Forest. It is a registered charity and is run as a non-profit making organisation by a committee of parents.

Unfortunately over the weekend during Storm Eunice, a large tree has fallen and destroyed the children's play area, taking down the mud kitchen, garden hut and hanging jungle gym as well as many of the outside toys stored within the hut.

The outside space for our children is so important for they’re play and well being, especially during the pandemic it was a real life line in particular to the children who may not have access to an outside play area.


 We are continuously trying to raise funds all year round to keep the preschool alive, but this has really set us back and we are relying on friendly neighbours to help us out at this time with their garden space.

Please help us raise much needed funds to give the children a place to play, watch wildlife and enhance their well-being again. 

Our attempt to repair damage of a much loved preschool play garden is so beneficial to our whole community. 

Thank you x x

St John’s Preschool Play Area Destroyed By Storm Eunice posted an update on 28th February 2022

WOW - Thank you all so much!! Please keep donating!

What a couple of days since launching! We are blown away by everybody's generosity and support for our little preschool! We are currently in the throws of stretching our target as it was so unexpected to gain so much support in only a few days! We've had a positive weekend and the weather was so kind to us as we had some members of our fabulous community help clear up of all the fallen wood and remove damaged toys. - Update to follow.

If we can keep pushing and and stretch our target it will allow us to start building an all weather area around the side of the building, At present we use a  large umbrella for shelter from the rain. Since the onset of covid we've relied on more heavily than ever on our outside space and believe that the fresh air and time in the nature is so important for the children well-being and development. We hope to install a more permanent fixture that will allow the children to play outside whatever the weather.

So please do keep donating we need your support!!

Thank you! x x
