\n<\/strong>We have a few changes to staffing and would like to share who the keyworkers are.\u00a0 These are the keyworkers that will be responsible for administration and gathering information about your child. Our staff support all of the children in nursery, not just their own group, guiding them through their early learning journey. aYou can see photos of our staff team in our Welcome Sway https:\/\/sway.office.com\/6m7kj08V8TTg0Niq?ref=Link<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>We are always very interested to listen to the views of our parent community and, in line with our new School and Nursery Improvement Plan 2021-2022 (SNIP) which is available to view on our website: https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/<\/a>. Please do get in touch if you feel that you could help us in any way in relation to our priorities this year.\u00a0 This session our nursery has a particular focus on Food and Health, reviewing \u2018Gender Equal Play\u2019 and embracing diversity.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>We are being very flexible with nursery hours to meet children and family needs. If your child has been allocated 8am-6pm you are free to drop off your child any time before 9am and pick up anytime before 6pm.
\nChildren who attend from 9am -3pm should be dropped off at 9am, or after, and picked up by 3pm please, when their session ends.
\nWhen children arrive at nursery they change into their indoor shoes and then wash their hands, ready to play. Our outdoor areas are opened at 9.15am and children are free to choose to play indoors or out. At around 9.30am our snack area opens and children are able to choose from a selection of freshly cut vegetables\/fruit and milk\/water. Children can choose when to come to snack and are encouraged to have a try by our lovely playworkers, Mrs Stoll, Mrs Beattie and Mrs McAndrew. After snack children are free to play inside or out again until lunch. Our lunch starts at 11.30am in both buildings. Lunch is a relaxed, unhurried, sociable time where children sit together round the table with a familiar adult on hand to help. The children choose when they want\u00a0 to eat, can sit with their special friends and are encouraged to eat their delicious two course lunch. After lunch children can choose where to play again. At around 2.30 everyone is encouraged to tidy up the indoor and outdoor areas. Children then have together time where they will have a story, sing some songs and share what they have been learning about during their nursery session. At 3pm some children go home, for those staying later they continue to play after their together time. At around 3.30pm children have their snack (please provide a small snack for this time) and are able to play inside or outside until their collection time.
\nWe will be making a \u2018Day in the Life\u2019 video over the next week or so and look forward to sharing this with you.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Please find attached<\/a> information regarding Childsmile Toothbrushing programme. Should you require any further information please speak to Mrs Gemmell or Mrs Mackie, our Toothbrushing Leads.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Over the next week we will be sending out some Consent Forms for all of our children. We ask that you complete these when you have the opportunity and return these at your earliest convenience.<\/p>\n
