Hello everyone,
It has been another fun week at nursery with lots of learning through play. The children have been busy creating impressive structures in the block play, singing songs and exploring the process of creating art through a variety of materials. Outdoor play and fresh air has been popular as always. There certainly is a buzz about the nursery!

Winter Fayre – Thank You
A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Winter Fayre last week. It was a wonderful evening and as well as being a lot of fun, helped us to raise an amazing £3549.76. This money will go to our school and nursery funds and will be used, amongst other things, to help us to improve the play equipment children can use outdoors. Thank you again for supporting our community fayre and fundraising efforts.
School Registration
East Renfrewshire Council invites you to apply for a P1 catchment place for your child at the preferred primary school for school academic year 2025-26. You must apply for a place at your preferred catchment school even if you intend to make a placing request to another school; this ensures a place is held for your child in the event of an unsuccessful placing request. If you intend to educate your child privately or at home, you should still inform your local catchment school of your intention.
For P1 catchment school applications you can apply online via our online application form, which can be found on Council’s website at https://www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/apply-for-p1 where you will also find a copy of the Council’s school admissions policy.
Online applications should be made from 2 December 2024 until 19 January 2025. Any catchment applications after 19 January 2025 should continue to be submitted using the online form. However, it is advisable, where possible, to make your application by this date as this provides you with the optimum chance of securing a place in your preferred school.
Have a wonderful weekend.
