Many thanks to Clare Forbes for suggesting and organising our fund raising Cafe.  On Friday we had a lovely day – helped by Catriona Jarvie, Laura Henderson and Suzy Murray –  the children served mums and dads, aunties and uncles, grannies, grandpas and friends with delicious home baking and cups of tea and coffee.

Many thanks to all the fabulous bakers who contributed an absolute feast of home baked delights!!  They were absolutely delicious and the range of what people contributed was just right!  All our “customers” loved their cakes – and so did our children!!

Clare had worked really hard to organise the day.  She even found time last week to spend a day in Nursery making a lovely sign for our cafe with the children.  We had great fun using our cutting skills to create our colourful bunting and deciding where the beautiful teapots, made by Aine and  Lana, were to go!

On the day, our lovely patrons left us donations which totalled an incredible £275!!!  This is a huge amount – well beyond anything we were expecting.  Clare suggested that we put it towards holding a Nursery Fun Day in the summer term, with an entertainer or bouncy castle.  This sounds like an absolutely brilliant idea and we will set a date for this soon.

Our children loved the cafe – they had great fun trollying the cakes around and serving their very special customers.  It was lovely to see them feeling important and interacting with their families and friends.

Many thanks again to Clare, her team of helpers, the amazing bakers, our lovely customers and the fabulous waiting staff- for making this a truly memorable nursery experience.
