Christmas has well and truly arrived in our nursery! The boys and girls in the Ladybird room had lots of fun at our Christmas party! We played games, danced, enjoyed some party food and…

We had a special visitor! SANTA came by to leave some presents for everyone! WOW – thank you so very much, Santa!

Our kind neighbours, Porrelli Ice-Cream, have very kindly donated some yummy ice-cream for boys and girls to enjoy at the Christmas party – thank you so much to everyone at Porrelli for making our party super sweet!

We had an amazing day and fantastic Christmas party! Merry Christmas to everyone! 🙂

As you may be aware we have been undergoing infrastructure building works within our Early Learning and Childcare Class and I wanted to provide an update on this.

The weekend of the 19th December the contractors will be working on removing the internal partition which will provide us with access to the new extended part of the building.

This will mean that rather than having two separate playrooms, we will now be operating within one larger playroom. The contractors will then begin internal works within the old ladybird playroom.

This will impact on how families enter and exit our building.

Drop off in the morning –

• Between the hours of 8.00 a.m. and 9.15 a.m. there will be a member of management there to welcome you and your child.
• We would ask that you continue to make use of queuing at both sides of the nursery gates at this time and adhere to 2 metre distancing. We would also remind all parents/carers that the use of face coverings is advised.
• All children will enter via the door which was the entrance to the butterfly room and be escorted to their bubble by an adult.

Drop off and collection in the afternoon –

• For children who are being dropped off or collected in the afternoon, can you please ring the bell to the butterfly room and a member of staff will bring your child to you. Again can we remind you to adhere to guidance in relation to social distancing and the use of face coverings.
• We will renew external markers and signage outside the nursery grounds.

Care Inspectorate Guidance –

• In accordance with guidance from Care Inspectorate we will now be operating within 3 bubbles within the nursery, all of which have free-flow access to an outdoor space.
• Your child’s keyworker has not changed.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a big ‘THANK YOU’ from us all at Williamsburgh ELCC for your patience during this time.

We would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

The boys and girls in the Ladybird room have been enjoying exploring maps. Last week we looked at Google Maps where we worked together to find our nursery. We used the option of ‘street view’ to explore our nursery’s neighbourhood. Some of the children could even follow their way home from the nursery – on the virtual map, of course!

Would you like to join us in having a wee look at different things in our community? Below is the link for google maps – feel free to explore the whole planet Earth – countries, beaches, mountains… There is so much to see! And all from the comfort of your home! We bet the boys and girls can tell you exactly what different colours and symbols on the maps are?

Google Maps

Do you think you can find the way to North Pole? Can you have a peek in Santa’s garden?

Can you find your friends and family’s houses?

What about your local shops and parks – for example Barshaw Park?

Can you make your own map? What about a treasure map?

Have lots of fun and let us know where you travel on the map! 🙂
