For the last few years DPPA (Dunblane Pre-school Play Association) has unfortunately struggled with low enrolment numbers.
As a result, from
June 2017, it was agreed that we were no longer able to off er funded places for pre-school children in partnership with Stirling Council. In an attempt to avoid closure, we decided to adapt our service (with the support of a community vote) and since August 2017, we have off ered a Playgroup facility for 2-5 year old children.
We had hoped that our new format would meet the needs of local families in Dunblane, but sadly, our low enrolment numbers at Playgroup suggest that this just isn’t the case. Despite the best eff orts of the staff who have created a wonderful happy environment for the children and the positive feedback we have had from parents, the demand for spaces isn’t high enough to be sustainable in the future.
Unfortunately, the Committee have therefore taken the sad decision that we will close the doors of all our groups at the end of this academic year. Beyond this we will be looking to dissolve the charity. This decision has not been taken lightly as none of us wanted to see this service go. We would like send our heartfelt thanks to all staff and Committee members, past and present and all the families in Dunblane who have supported us over the years we have run.
