Hello again everyone
The blustery, rainy week certainly hasn’t stopped the fun in Netherlee Nursery as the children have all enjoyed experiencing and talking about all the different kinds of weather we have in Scotland!
Staffing News
From Monday 21st Feb Mrs Joanne Greig, our Senior Child Development Officer, will move to Acorns Building and Mrs Jo-Anne Welsh will move to the Saplings Building. We want to thank all of our staff for their commitment and flexibility over the last few months. Staff have stepped in at the last minute to cover absence, changed nursery buildings, adapted plans and patterns of working to ensure that children are safely looked after and continue to have the highest quality experiences.
Congratulations!
A huge well done to Mrs Debbie Heron on passing her ‘Paediatric First Aid’ course. Miss Melissa Doran is also attending an ‘Emergency First Aid’ course on Monday and we know she will do equally well in this (no pressure Melissa!).
World Book Day 3rd March
Did you know? Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child’s future success, more than family circumstances, parents’ educational backgrounds or income? https://www.worldbookday.com. This World Book Day we encourage every child to be a reader and continue to develop their love of books. Every child will receive a £1 Book Token that can be swapped for one of the FREE World Book Day books available from participating booksellers or used to get £1 off any book at all. To celebrate World Book Day, we will have plenty of fun activities taking place throughout the day including sharing stories with friends, cosy corner reading, den reading, making books, re-enacting stories and much, much more. Children can also bring a favourite book from home to share with friends on World Book Day. Thank you in advance for writing your child’s name inside the cover of their book to avoid mix-ups. We’re sure children will love to snuggle up with a good book and have a special snack of toast and hot chocolate too. More information on World Book Day can be found here: https://www.worldbookday.com/families.
We hope you have a lovely weekend with your family.
