ELCC Open Day

Early Learning and Childcare Open Day

Saturday 7 September 2019

 

Find out more about your nursery and childminding options From August 2020, the Scottish Government is increasing the number of funded hours your child can get in Early Learning and Childcare from 600 hours to 1,140 hours a year, giving you more choice on when and where you use it. The increase in funded hours will be available to all three and four year olds and some two year olds.

So join us to find out more about what this means for you – and also enjoy fun activities and refreshments.

Staff from East Renfrewshire Council and all our funded providers, including nurseries and childminders, will be on hand to give you lots of information about which setting could best suit the needs of you, your child and your family.

 

Where: Carlibar Primary School, Barrhead Road

When: 10am – 1pm

Skipping Fun

Taking advantage of the good weather, P1 took their PE outdoors today.  Mrs Kerr was teaching the pupils how to skip.  Much concentration was on show, but the big smiles showed how much fun everyone was having!

Dear Parent/Carer

You are invited to a Williamwood Cluster Parent & Carer Workshop that has been arranged for Tuesday 7th March 2017 from 6.30pm to 7.30pm in Cart Mill Family Centre.

The focus of the workshop is ‘The value of learning through play’ and our Educational Psychologists, Ainsley McGoldrick and Chris Atherton, will share research on why play is so important to children’s learning and on how best to support your child as they grow and develop. There will be time at the end of the session to ask any questions you might have.  Tea and coffee will be available on arrival.
