Mrs Ola’s PEEP has been great fun for both our children and their families, so far the children have been developing their early mathematical concepts, counting with 1-1 correspondence, sorting & matching, shapes and sizing. Peep group is a fantastic opportunity for parents/carer’s to work in partnership with their child to support their learning.
Please see Mrs Ola for more information.

One Planet Picnic
‘A One Planet Picnic is a picnic that is good for you and good for the planet’
To take part in Keep Scotland Beautiful’s One planet Picnic we made our own vegetable soup and apple crumble using fresh produce sourced in our orchard or purchased locally.
At Bathgate Early Years we continue to make a conscious effort to use
- Healthy, sustainable ingredients e.g. seasonal, local, organic, or ethical produce
- Reduce food waste during snack times
