As we prepare for the warmer weather, the safety of our children in the sunshine is a factor that we need to consider.
Each year we require parents to apply the first layer of sun cream BEFORE they arrive in the morning. Children MUST have sun cream on if they wish to play outdoors on sunny days. Each child should bring a bottle of sun cream with them to keep at the ECC. In the afternoon we would apply a second layer for those children wishing to access our outdoor areas.
The weather forecast for the rest of the week has to be high temperatures (and hopefully more to come in the next few months) therefore this will start from tomorrow (Tuesday 18th April 2023)
The children love to explore our outdoor areas so we thank you for your cooperation in helping to ensure that your child can continue to play outdoors in the nicer weather 🙂
To celebrate our return to our beautifully refurbished Newton Street site, we would like to welcome family, friends and surrounding communities to our Open Evening on Wednesday 1st February from 6.00-7.30pm.
Come along and see our fantastic spaces for learning, excellent new resources and our wonderful outdoor areas. Please note this invite is for anyone – with or without children currently attending our setting.
We are so proud of how great Catrine ECC is looking, and we can’t wait to share it with you all.
We have been on the Tesco waiting list for some time now, and its finally our turn 🙂
Please tell your family and friends, share it on social media sites and don’t forget to lift your blue tokens every time you are in store from now until March 🙂
The winning applicant gets a whopping £1500. If we win our aim is to transform our natural greenspace into an area full of risky play equipment developing gross motor skills, confidence, coordination, resilience and much, much more.
We are thrilled to bits at how today went. The children were fantastic, staff had a ball and it was lovely to hear such positive comments from parent/carers.
We know the majority of you are keen to see the other playrooms so on Friday we will be opening our doors from 2pm onwards for anyone that would like to drop in and explore with their child before taking them home.
Please note this is not a community open door day. We ask that it is at very most 2 adults per child simply for a wee walk round.
We will open our doors fully to extended family members, the community and residents of other nearby villages at our open night (tbc)
Thank you for your continued support throughout our decant –
I hope everyone that was able to join us this morning for our festive stay and play session had a great time. The children and staff were delighted having visitors in to see all the lovely…
On Tuesday 15th November myself and Lesleyanne had the privilege of attending the CYPIC conference in Glasgow SEC where our video clip was presented showcasing Catrine ECC and our fabulously famous children 🙂
Scottish Government asked us to discuss some of the changes we have made so far whilst on our journey to becoming a Communication Friendly Environment with the collection of data and quality improvement methods in mind.
Below you can find the link to the video clip where you might see some familiar faces (Riccarton ECC appear first in the clip with Catrine following on a few minutes later)
