Early Learning and Childcare (ELC) Consultation Survey
East Renfrewshire Council (ERC) are required to consult with families every 2 years on the delivery of early learning and childcare. This helps inform the models that children are able to access in nurseries and family centres so that ELC remains flexible, affordable and accessible. The link to access the survey is https://forms.office.com/r/LAn7MpRDMN. The survey will be open until Sunday 30th October it only takes about 5 minutes. Thank-you for your support.
Autumn Fun Night
The PTA have an Autumn Event this evening, Friday 28th October 6pm to 8pm. Please see message from the PTA below.
If you can come along and support we are sure you will have fun! They will have a pumpkin 🎃 carving competition where you can bring your carved creation and enter it in our competition. You can enter online or on the evening for £2. Every entry will get a flameless candle to light up your creation before we put it in display and you can take it home at the end of the night to use at Halloween 🎃!
There will be some free refreshments and games which will have a small charge 50p to £1 and of course to keep you in good spirits we will have a bar with beer and wine and some sausages on the BBQ to keep you all going too.
Please see the autumn fun night poster, or go to pta-events.co.uk/netherleepta for more details. Funds raised go towards the PTA fund, which has a key focus this year on renewing outdoor PE equipment and updating ground markings including the addition of a multi sports court painted on the playground.
All volunteers and new members are welcome to come along and join the PTA so if interested please email us at netherleepta@gmail.com.
Nursery WOW Wall
Here at Netherlee, we love celebrating children’s achievements both in and out of nursery. A gentle reminder that we would love to see your child’s recent achievements for example swimming, dancing show, can ride a bike themselves etc. Please let us know by sending us an email and/or bring in a photograph as we would love to display this on our Nursery WOW Wall.
Have a lovely weekend.
