As part of the induction process you and your child are invited along to three activities within areas that the nursery regularly visits.  The activities are intended to provide your child with the opportunity to meet new friends, get to know key nursery environments and some of the nursery staff, with the support of a parent/carer.  The parent/carer must remain with their child throughout the activities.  Regrettably, siblings are not able to join us on these induction activities.

We are looking forward to meeting you all next week! 🙂

The teddies have been very good and are now all tucked up in bed.  They had a lovely story with Mrs Ogilvie and they all enjoyed playing in the nursery.  Some of them went in the sand and water trays but luckily none of them went for swim! Some of the teddies made pictures at the drawing table and were very careful with the scissors.  They liked building models in the construction area too.

Tomorrow you will be able to collect your teddy.  They will be so happy to get a big cuddle from you!

On Friday you can play in some of the areas that your teddies played in.

We can’t wait to see you again tomorrow for the forest and we all loved meeting you today. Good night!

Mrs Duncan, Mrs Ogilvie, Miss Stephen, Mrs Gordon and Mrs Bartlett.  🙂

The afternoon teddies were all very tired after their picnic.  They had fun playing with all of the toys in the nursery after you went home.  They especially liked playing in the sand and making cakes at the play dough table.  They drew lovely pictures at the drawing table.  Two teddies worked together in the construction and were very good at sharing.

Mrs Ogilvie read them a bedtime story and they all got tucked up into bed.  They cuddled all of their new friends and fell asleep.  They can’t wait to see you tomorrow after the forest.

We all loved meeting you and your families today and are very excited about having you at Cults Nursery.

Night night!
