IMFC Parent Committee Meeting

IMFC Parent Committee Meeting

Recently during a Pop in and Play session one of our parents, Mairi-Jean Watkins asked about re-establishing the IMFC Parent Committee. We currently have parent representatives who attend the IMS&FC Parent Council on a regular basis however we have not been able to establish an IMFC parent committee for quite some time due to parent’s home and work commitments.  Mairi-Jean has arranged use of our parents room on Tuesday 21st February at 1pm and we would very much encourage parents to come along and share their views. Morning and afternoon parents are welcome to come along.

“The staff are keen to have more input from us (the parents) by way of ideas and feedback. Examples are how to spend funding (toys, activities etc) and feedback on what we feel the nursery does well and any ideas on what we feel could be done differently”.

“This need not be time or labour-intensive. We all have very busy lives and sometimes those 3 hours during nursery time are the hours where we get a bit of time to focus on other activities/children! However, nursery is such an important part of our children’s lives, that it would be good for us, as parents, to have the opportunity to influence that”.

If you would also like to attend the Isobel Mair School and Family Centre Parent Council, the next meeting will be held on Thursday 23rd February at 7pm.

Welly Waddle

A letter went out recently asking for you to share your views on the best way to host our upcoming sponsored Welly Waddle fundraiser.

From the 68 letters than went out to parents, we had a total of 15 return slips with mixed responses.

6 parents said they would prefer the waddle to take place at Eastwood Park and were happy to meet there.

4 parents said they would prefer the waddle to take place in and around Isobel Mair School and Family Centre grounds.

3 parents said they would love to attend but had no preference to where the waddle takes place.

2 parents said they did not want to attend and therefore did not state where to waddle.

Following some discussion with staff it has been decided that we will offer both waddles!

Colette and Joanne or Donna will be at the car park at Eastwood Park at 10.30am and again at 2pm to meet children and parents ready for the park waddle. If you decide to waddle in the park you MUST stay with your child for the duration. Please bring along a small snack for your child too. Siblings and other family members are welcome to waddle along too!

All other staff will be waddling in and around the school and family centre grounds. Please come along and join us if you can!

I would like to wish our nursery leavers all my very best wishes as you move on to start school in August. Thank you to all children, parents and colleagues for all their hard work and continued support throughout the year.

To all our returning children – have a wonderful holiday and see you in August!

The Psychology of Parenting Project (PoPP) is aimed at improving the availability of high-quality evidence-based parenting programmes for families with young children who have elevated levels of behaviour problems.

PoPP Courses are running across East Renfrewshire RIGHT NOW!

If you would like more information on how PoPP can help you, have a look at the PoPP information station in the entrance foyer.

You can speak to your child’s key worker, or to Donna Quaile – who is the IMFC PoPP Practitioner – for more information at a time that suits you.
