Wow, what a week for our last few days of term before the summer holidays.  It has been an emotional week as we say goodbye to 2 very much appreciated, key members of our nursery staff.  Mrs Spofforth and Linda are both retiring today, and we wish them all the very best in their next adventures.  We hope they will both keep in touch and be able to visit us if they can.

The bairns have had lots of photos taken as keep sakes and memories of their time together in nursery. Particularly lovely to have all their handprints on such a unique and special gift.

We welcomed Care Inspectorate staff to Tingwall Nursery this week in an unannounced visit.  The experience was helpful and well balanced, our visitors were approachable and reassuring to staff and we feel this has been a positive end to the year.  The final report will be made public in due course.

Other visitors have been welcomed this week too.  Louise, who works with us on a temporary basis also works at Tesco.  She was able to pop by the nursery and show our bairns what her other job involves when delivering food orders to customers.  It was really interesting to think about the jobs that people do and how people can help us with their roles. Thank you Louise!

 

We had some 4 legged visitors this week too.  The children were so careful and used gentle hands with these visitors.

We also had a visit from a baby sister this morning, and it was so lovely to see how gentle and caring her big brother was with her.

The children have been aware of the changes that will happen after summer and have enjoyed spending time together as a cohort as they continue to play and learn and explore together.  There have been interesting finds in the nursery garden as well as creative opportunities in the potential of a cardboard box.  We have also celebrated another birthday this week!
