A very warm welcome back to nursery for those returning from holidays and for our new children and families, starting nursery this week.

We are also welcoming new members of staff – our new Depute Head of Centre, Caroline McMenemy and Fiona Drysdale who will be working  with us on Monday and Tuesday as an Early Years Worker.  We also welcome back Claire Dishon, who is now with us again, as one of our full time Early Years Workers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the first time, we have been open during the Easter Break as our nursery is now open 52 weeks a year.  The children who were in over the last 2 weeks have had a great time investigating the arrival of Spring in the garden and orchard, with lots of outdoor play in the sunny, (albeit rather cold) weather.  We will be open over the summer holidays too, so if you are thinking your child might like to attend then, please speak to Caroline.

Holiday provision is purchased separately and allocated in accordance with the East Dunbartonshire Council Admission policy.  It is available to all parents within East Dunbartonshire, subject to availability.

 

This week in nursery we are going to be learning about Easter customs and using our feet to make some very different Easter Cards!!  On Thursday we are having an Easter Egg Hunt in the orchard.  Nursery will be closed on Friday and Monday for the Easter Break.

 

Eileen has been busy over the last couple of weeks, asking the children about how we might improve the entrance to the nursery.  The children were very definite – “We need lots of pretty flowers!”  Caroline brought in some lovely plants and Eileen and the children carefully planted them out and put them at the door.  We also had our new sign put up at the door.  We would love your thoughts on our improvements, and also any suggestions about other things we might do to beautify our outdoor area.
