Hello everyone,

A quick note from Mrs Toman
I have spoken to most of you at the gates in the mornings and we chat about the weather as we welcome you all to nursery. I am excited to be joining the Nursery team and look forward to working with all our Netherlee families. For those of you who haven’t met me yet, please stop and chat. This is a photo of me taken by the P7 pupils.
Clothing
As the temperatures have dropped recently it has highlighted the need for appropriate layers of warm and waterproof clothing for learning outdoors and indoors. Please take time to check that your child has a change of clothes, hat and gloves when coming to nursery. If you wish to leave your child’s wellies in nursery, please make sure they are named.
Drop off and Collection Times
We appreciate that parents and carers are prompt when collecting children who have patterns of attendance that end at 3.00 p.m. or 6.00 p.m. If you are not going to arrive by the specified time, please phone us to let us know.
