Water Supply Closure

We apologise for the inconvenience caused by our closure this afternoon.  This was due to the buildings water supply being cut off.  We closed to comply with Care Inspectorate Regulations and for the welfare of children and staff.

Engineers have been working on the problem throughout the afternoon.  They will return to complete the job in the morning, therefore we hope to be open as normal on Wednesday 30th November 2016.  We will text you if this situation changes.

Apologies again for the inconvenience caused to you today.

Mearns Castle Cluster Consultation

Survey

As part of Mearns Castle Cluster’s continual drive to improve the support we provide to parents and children in the early years, we are consulting parents/carers with children in Nursery and/or Primary 1 to gather information about what curriculum events you would find useful throughout your child’s experience in these stages. As a Cluster, we would like to plan workshops to support the families within our community who currently have children being educated in the Early Years.

In order to plan effectively, the Cluster Early Years Group would appreciate if you are able to give a few minutes of your time to complete a short survey. Information shared will be used to plan appropriate events for parents across the different establishments.  Please use the link below to access the survey. The survey will close on Sunday 20th November.

Thank You for your assistance.

Mearns Castle Cluster Transitions Review

Survey

East Renfrewshire Council are conducting a review of Transitions within our Secondary, Primary and Pre-Five Establishments within the authority.  We would be most grateful if you could take the time to complete an on-line questionnaire in regard to this.  Questionnaires provide the authority and its schools with evidence to inform their self-evaluation processes.  We would like you to give us your views about the nursery.

The Education Department will give the nursery a summary of the results of all the questionnaires.  We will not give your name in any information shared with others.  However, we may use the information for statistical purposes.

The questions are likely to take you around 10 minutes to answer.  Your views can help improve the nursery.
