A gentle reminder that Personal Plan Reviews will take place this week between 3:00–4:00pm. Parents and carers are warmly invited to meet with their child’s key worker to review their child’s personal plan or complete their settling review.

Meetings will be held in the ECC playrooms or the Teaching Base. We kindly ask that children sit with you during the meeting so key workers can focus on taking accurate notes. Most resources will be tidied away for the evening, with a small selection of activities available.

If you have anything sensitive you would like to discuss, please let us know — we can arrange an alternative appointment if you would prefer to speak without your child present or are unable to attend alone.

If your appointment is after 3:10pm, please use the main entrance of Fenwick PS and ECC for entry and exit.

Please note: There will be no Learning Journal uploads on Monday 3/3/26 due to Personal Plan Reviews.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

• High temperature / fever:
  If your child has a high temperature and is unwell, they should not attend nursery or childcare until their temperature has returned to normal and they are well enough to participate in nursery activities.
• Diarrhoea and vomiting:
  Children should remain off nursery for at least 48 hours after the last episode of diarrhoea or vomiting.
• Other common contagious illnesses:
  For illnesses such as chickenpox, scarlet fever, or other conditions, there are specific exclusion recommendations which depend on the illness and treatment (e.g., scarlet fever until 24 hours after starting antibiotics).
• Minor symptoms:
  Children with mild cold symptoms (such as a runny nose or slight cough), who do not have a fever and are otherwise well, can generally attend nursery.

We realise that there are lots of winter illnesses around at the moment.

It can be tricky at times knowing when to keep your child off from the ECC.

If your child is unwell and absent from the ECC, please call the main office on 01560 600403. There is also a function on the Safer Schools Scotland App to report an absence.

When informing us of your child’s absence we would really appreciate you giving a reason for their absence, e.g. a high temperature, sickness, an unsettled night or a planned holiday.

This allows us to monitor outbreaks of illness, complete more stringent cleaning processes to minimise the spread of infection and to monitor others if they are feeling unwell.

Thank you for your continued support.

We are delighted to be able to provide an information session on Mini-MISP.

Parents and Carers are warmly invited to join the session to find out more about the Massage Programme, to discuss the fundamental principles and boundaries surrounding the Mini-MISP and to ask any questions which they may have.

The first part of the session is for Parents/ Carers only. ECC staff will then bring your child along to the session.

Date: Monday 18^th March 2024

Venue: Fenwick Primary School Gym Hall

Time: 2.15pm – 2.45pm

Hosted by: Dougie Mirfin

We look forward to seeing you there.

With the weather forecast predicting some beautiful, hot and sunny weather tomorrow, please send your child to the Centre wearing suncream and a sun hat. You can pop their suncream in their bag or in the basket in the cloakroom (labelled with their name) to be reapplied throughout the day.
Thank you ☀️

Your child will receive a letter with details of their Key Worker group for the new session starting in August.

Some children may remain the the same group, where others may move to a new group.

We are very lucky here in Fenwick ECC that all team members know all children very well and all children have built up very positive relationships with the staff team over their time in the ECC. These positive relationships make occasions such as staff training and absence an easy to manage transition.

If you have any worries or concerns about group allocations please speak to Joanne or call 01560 600403.

Thank you for your continued support.
