Improving Setting's Image

Picking brains here.... Essentially, we are a small village pre-school feeding to two primary schools in adjacent villages (we have no primary school in the village). Each of the primaries that we feed to has a local pre-school. This setting is finding, increasingly, that parents are choosing to use these two other pre-schools (both, incidentally, offer age-dedicated sessions, e.g. sessions dedicated to children in their final pre-school year that exclude younger children; one of these also offers sessions dedicated only to younger children). The Committee and the setting's adminstrator called a meeting last week (involving all staff and a few committee members). The adminstrator and one committee member had recently attended a "business" course, and this meeting was a follow-on. They are keen to "raise the image" of the setting, to maintain/increase the roll. The meeting agreed that setting is probably unable to introduce age-dedicated sessions at present. There are currently 40+ children on the roll, attending the Mon-Thu morning sessions (up to 26 children per session, aged 24 months to rising 5). Incidentally, the setting does not run "key worker groups" because the leader and the deputy can fulfil this role for all of 40+ children. The setting has 10 staff members in total. Only the leader and deputy are qualified (NVQ3). Although I am qualified (level 4), I work as an unqualified staff member. Does anyone have any constructive suggestions for "raising our group's profile". The "brainstorming" meeting came up with the following "plus" points: - good community links - high staff:child ratios - large hall - allowing all-year-round opportunities for physical activities - scheduled dance and music (we have a piano player) sessions. Obviously, I have a fair few ideas (mostly impracticable because of management constraints). Ideas, anyone? Diane
