As a charity-run group, the village preschool partly relies on fundraising and donations to further enrich the classroom&#8217;s facilities. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preschool manager Fliss Harris has been running the preschool for nine years. She said: \u201cWe are a charity-run preschool set in a small village. We have a strong belief that quality childcare should be accessible to all so we don&#8217;t charge extra fees above government funding and provide staffing above the government-set ratios to support our vision of supporting every child to reach their full potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This does however mean we have to do a lot of fundraising each year, especially with the increasing gap between costs and government funding.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0490-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-735\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0490-1024x683.jpg 1024w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0490-300x200.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0490-768x512.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0490-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0490-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0490-973x649.jpg 973w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_0490-508x339.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The additional storage has given pupils their own drawer <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In an effort to acquire more storage options, with a particular aim to give each pupil their own drawer space, Fliss contacted Rapid Racking. Tom Ellis, Head of Product and Services, sourced two mobile storage units to donate to the preschool. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The children now all have their own drawer where they can put their pictures to take home and give them a sense of belonging<\/p>\n<cite>Ashton keynes preschool manager, Fliss harris <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom said: \u201cWe understand the need for storage and how it can improve the functionality of a busy space.
