Telephone Lines Next Week
We have been advised that the telephone lines may be intermittently unavailable next week due to essential works by East Renfrewshire Council. If you cannot get through via telephone, we would recommend that you get in contact with us via email to nurserymail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk. We will send an update when the phone services have resumed.
Diversity Month
We would love to learn from and with you! We will be exploring different cultures, languages and traditions, as always, but we would appreciate if any families would like to share skills, languages or talents. If you would like to teach us something, please just let Mrs Greig or Mrs Toman know when you are here for drop off or collection.
Loose Parts
We would appreciate your donations of loose parts to support creativity and woodwork activities. If you already have any of the items below, and would like to donate them, please drop them in to nursery next week.
Corks, old CDs, milk top lids, buttons, cotton reels, wool, fabric book samples, leather offcuts
Stay and Play- week beginning 27th January
Sign-up sheets will be available for your convenience in the foyer from Monday 13th January. There are opportunities to come in each day. We encourage only one person per child to attend please. This helps to ensure there is a safe and enabling environment for all children.
