Discover your path to confident leadership
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?
You want to run a thriving early years setting, making a real difference for children and families while feeling confident, supported, and in control.
But instead, you feel overwhelmed by endless paperwork, funding pressures and recruitment challenges and the responsibility of running a charity-managed setting weighs heavy on your shoulders.
Finding the right advice is a struggle and you're spending hours searching for charity specific guidance but coming up short.
​
You're juggling governance, compliance, and daily operations, unsure if you're getting it right.
And worse, you feel isolated, with no one to turn to for support or reassurance and wishing you had expert advice tailored to the unique challenges of running a charity early years setting.

Meet Ruth
We are a charity run pre-school with a committee. There is so much information online that it what was daunting to know what was right and then we found Sally's website and joined her membership.
​
She's helped us with marketing strategies and setting up communication with our parents and the neighbourhood and more recently supported us through CIO conversion.
​
Sally offers sensible, clear help and nothing has been too much trouble. Without her support and knowledge we don't know where we'd be and only wish we had found Dinky Ones earlier.
​
The membership also has every form to download that you could need and information on everything, plus if there is anything you can not find Sally is willing to help to create it.
​
Sally is a very knowledgeable, friendly, easy to talk to lady and we look forward to continuing our membership and having her support.
