 Burn’s Day 25th January 2025-

Nursery will be celebrating Burns Day and in preparation for this we will be discussing Robert Burns and learning a Scottish poem entitled ‘The Sair Finger’ written by Walter Wingate. We will practice this regularly in nursery. The poem has been posted within the ‘announcements’ section on See Saw so you can practise with your child at home. A paper copy can be provided if preferred-please ask a member of staff.  

 Parent Council-

The next Parent Council meeting will be held in Tayport Primary School on Monday 20th January at 6pm. We would like to invite all nursery parents to attend. These meetings provide the opportunity for parents to be involved in the life of nursery and school.  

In-Service day-

The next in-service day will be Wednesday 12th February when nursery will be closed to all children. This will be followed by 2 days holiday (13th & 14th Feb) for school children but nursery will be open to pupils as normal on these days.

A gentle reminder that if your child is unwell (e.g. Vomiting & Diarrhoea) the guidelines are 48 hours exclusion from nursery from the last bout of sickness/diarrhoea.
