Let’s Play
A coffee and cake date has been set for Thursday 29th March for any parents who may be interested in coming along to our new ‘Let’s Play’ programme.
Let’s Play is as it reads…..all about play and the importance of playing with your child.
For parents that are interested, I will be following up with a play session over the Easter holidays. This will be a half day play session on Friday 6th April, no costs are involved and you can bring along older or younger siblings!
In July, I will be offering three more no cost play sessions, again siblings are welcome. On these sessions, parents spend time participating in fun and interactive workshops whilst the children (including siblings of any age) play in the playroom/outdoor area before joining together for half hour play at the end of the session.
There are information leaflets on the ‘PoPP’ table in the foyer – please help yourself and speak to me if you are interested.
Getting to Know You
Please come along to our ‘Getting to Know You’ event at IMFC tomorrow.
This is a great opportunity to meet other parents and the staff who are working with your child, have a chat and conversation over coffee and cake.
The event will be held at drop off times for your convenience – 9.15AM and 1.15PM.
Representatives from IMFC Parent Committee will also be there to say hello.
Hope to see you there!

Getting to Know You
Children begin to establish friendships with their peers when they come to nursery and as a Family Centre we want to promote this social aspect across the centre.
We are opening the doors of Café Isobel on Friday 9th September to facilitate parents meeting, chatting and coming together in friendship.
Staff will be on hand to facilitate this if required, but we are hoping a few parents might wish to nominate themselves as taking on a leading role in developing the ‘Mair Mates’ drop in.
Please speak to me if you think this is something you could support and help develop.
