Important announcement
Hopefully this letter shall help to settle anxieties you may have regarding the recovery plan to aid children and young people back into school and early learning and childcare settings.
Together we will get through this difficult time.
Childcare at home… the role of a childminder
We often forget the vital role childminders have in supporting children’s learning and development in a home environment.
This wonderful childminder Pauline has been supporting children and families for over 10 years.
During this lockdown period she is keeping in touch though signing and storytelling.

Celebrating Bookbug’s birthday from Shotts Family Learning Centre
Each year we recognise the younger children’s achievements from throughout their first year at nursery. Usually this is done with the help of a very important character ‘Bookbug’. This year is going to be a little bit different as we can’t come together for this fabulous celebration but what we can do is share all our fantastic memories of your little learners. With a lot of fun and laughter they have made so much progress in making friends, building relationships and learning new skills. As today is Bookbug’s ’10th’ birthday we thought what a great way to mark his special day. Sit back and enjoy the show.

Letter from Executive Director Derek Brown
From: Derek Brown, Executive Director
Dear Parents /Carers
Following advice from the Scottish Government to close educational establishment today, we fully recognise that from today children and young people may be at home for a long period of time and we have produced a suite of materials to support their learning – further information about materials will be sent to you in due course.
Understandably, this is an unsettling time for children, young people and their carers and many people will be feeling anxious about the current situation and the impact that it may have on the health and wellbeing of family, friends and colleagues.
For this reason we have also included information to help you reassure your child. Many of these resources have been developed in collaboration with South Lanarkshire Council. The attached document provides some advice and guidance.
We will continue to up-date this resource and ensure that it is widely available online. You will be notified of these updates next week.
Thank you for your on-going support during these challenging times.
Regards
Derek Brown
Executive Director
