Hello everyone,
What a busy and exciting week we have had in the nursery- lots of fun had by all! We have a few changes to staffing this session and so we would like to share who the children’s keyworkers are and their locations. Although each keyworker has an allocated group of children, all nursery staff are on hand to support all of the children in nursery.

Rhythm of the Day
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 any time before 6pm. Children who attend from 9am -3pm should be dropped off at 9am, or after, and picked up by 3pm please, when their session ends
Lunch this week has also been a great success! It is helpful to talk through the choices with your child before each day to support their independence at lunch time. You can view the nursery lunch menu by clicking the link below: https://www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/nursery-menu
Dates for your Diary
It is with great pleasure that I share the calendar of events in school and nursery for the 2022/23 session. For your ease please see attached PDF, however please note that going forward all calendar updates will be made via the electronic website calendar which will be available from Monday afternoon. We are so delighted that we can welcome you into school and nursery at regular points throughout the session. I hope you find that having these dates at the start of the session helpful. Thank you for your understanding if any dates require to be changed due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances. If this needs to happen we will of course give you as much notice as possible.
