Tempest Photography will be back at Catrine ECC for a Christmas themed photoshoot on Thursday 5th November 2026.

We would like to invite you all to visit our QR Code Halloween Trail at The Voes (Community Voes)

Children are encouraged to dress up, scan the QR codes then sing and dance together.

We can’t wait to see all photos and videos posted on your child’s Learning Journal.

We hope you have a Spooktacular time over the October holidays and will welcome you all back on Tuesday 20th October.

Hi everyone, for those who don’t know me yet my name is Rena.

I am the UNCRC champion, and every month we learn about a new article concerning the children’s rights.

This month, we are working on Article 7 which relates to the right to a name – as each child is unique they have the right to be treated as such. Parental involvement is always welcome and very important as it helps them understand the rights along with their child.

If I could ask you to discuss with your child why you chose their name – were they called after someone close?

Or was it perhaps just a name you liked?

Please add your comments to the sheet handed out to you today.  Thank you.

Welcome back and a very warm welcome to our first monthly Sway of the new ECC year!

Whether your child is returning to us after the summer or stepping through our nursery doors for the very first time, we are absolutely thrilled to have you as part of our family. September is always a magical month filled with wide eyes, big smiles, new friendships, and plenty of exploration.

We know how much happens in those first few weeks, so this monthly update is designed to give you a front-row seat to all the fun, learning, and messy play your little ones have been enjoying.

Grab a cup of tea, scroll down, and take a look at what we’ve been up to this month!
