Thank-you to all parents and carers who joined us for the stay and play sessions in the nursery this week. We hope you enjoyed a glimpse into the daily life of Netherlee Nursery!
Participatory Budgeting
Thank-you to all staff, pupils and parents/carers that voted this week our Participatory Budgeting local community project. The Young Leaders of Learning are delighted to announce that the most favourite suggestion and therefore the winning vote for the allocated budget of £1000 (£500 for school and £500 for nursery) is to be spent on equipment/resources to develop some areas within our existing grounds/ playgrounds to enhance learning outdoors. Thank you for your involvement – Jen McCann.
Chatter Café
At our next Netherlee Chatter Café on Wednesday 31st January our Leadership Team and some of our Literacy Champions will be there to provide any further support and advice with reading at home and internet safety workshops. Please come along if you are interested, we would love to see you then.

Allergies (Saplings Building)
To ensure the safety of a child in the Saplings building, we kindly request that parents/carers refrain from bringing kiwi fruit into the nursery. In addition, please ensure that snacks you provide are nut free. Thank-you for your co-operation.
Parent/Carer Volunteers
We are always looking for new ways to involve our parents, carers and families in our school and nursery events. We are currently looking for volunteers to support our visits to Linn Park. There will always be a member of staff present with you and the children. If you would be happy to volunteer for this, please get in touch with us to find out more information via email at nurserymail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk .
Toys in Nursery
A gentle reminder that toys from home should not be brought to Nursery please unless required to comfort children. Thank-you.
Recycled Donations
We are always on the lookout for opportunities to make use of any old items that may otherwise be thrown away. These are items which we can use to support and enhance the children’s play and learning experiences in the nursery. We would therefore kindly ask for any of the following items to enhance our junk modelling experiences if you have them and are just about to dispose of them. Thank you.
- Various sized cardboard boxes (e.g. cereal boxes, delivery boxes, shoe boxes etc.)
- Cardboard tubes (e.g. empty kitchen roll tubes)
- Plastic/cardboard cartons and bottles
- Buttons
- Milk top lids
