Many thanks in advance.

We would like to welcome Lindsey McCabe to our Catrine team!

Lindsey will be joining us as an Equity and Excellence Lead from January until the Easter holidays. She will be offering extra support to all our children and organising workshops for Parents/Carers and families. 

We are very excited to have her on board with us at Catrine Early Childhood Centre.

A massive Thank You to the Catrine Bowling Club who have so generously been collecting donations for our nursery and have donated a whopping £141!

We are so grateful for their support, and the continued support of our wonderful community.

First of all, we would like to say a big thank you to all the parents and carers who have supported our nursery by buying raffle tickets.

We are delighted to confirm that the total raised is £84!!

The money raised will go toward our upcoming Christmas activities and events.

And finally… the results are in.

The winner of the Halloween Goodie Box is Olivia G, who is feeling a bit camera shy today! 

The winner of the Halloween cushion and sweeties is Freya W!

Congratulations to our two Halloween Raffle winners!
