A CRY for help has gone out from the Tamar Valley Pre-School which says it may be forced to shut due to low numbers.

The Ofsted Outstanding-rated setting runs three times a week out of Calstock Village Hall with two Forest School days at Calstock Primary School.

But the low number of children enrolled has led to a critical financial situation, said supporter Sally Farrant.

A JustGiving page has been set up and has so far raised almost £2,000.

The pre-school said: “ Our goal is to raise £10,000 to enable us to stay open and explore opportunities on how to expand our opening hours, thereby enticing more children into our facility, and making it once again sustainable.”
