Last week children participated in a group sessions with Mhari from ChildSmile and her toothy puppet Ziggy!
Mhari discussed the importance of brushing teeth and demonstrated how to do it correctly. Children were offered the opportunity to brush Ziggy’s teeth with a giant toothbrush too!
We played a game to help us understand about foods that are healthy and unhealthy for our teeth too.
Thank you Mahairi and Ziggy for helping us learn more about looking after out teeth!
Please see ChildSmile website for more information about you can help protect your children’s teeth.
Please have a look at our blog post and we will help you learn…….
Please come into nursery and have a look in our floor book and also see our Under the Sea Sway for more learning stories.

Yesterday was a very special day for Bathgate Early Years Centre, West Lothian and also for Early Learning and Childcare in Scotland!
We were in the finals of the Scottish Education Awards, in the Digital Learning and Teaching category.
Williamston Primary School in Livingston were also flying the flag for West Lothian and were there as finalists in the Learning for Sustainability category.
Unfortunately we are not winners of the award but are ecstatic to have made it into the finals, with Stirling and Tynecastle High Schools.
Congratulations to the winners Tynecastle High School!
Thank you to all of our children, families, hardworking staff and very supportive partners who make our centre such a success and wonderful learning environment!
Also thank you to Education Scotland for organising such a fabulous event and selecting us as finalists!
We left the awards ceremony feeling very proud of Scottish education and were honored to be part of the celebration, recognising excellence in Scottish education.
We have squeezed our journey to the Scottish Education Awards, at the Doubletree Hilton in Glasgow into a 4 minute video clip to share with you all……
It is a very busy time for our pre school children just now. There is lots going on with transition visits to school.
BEYC has many associated schools in Bathgate and surrounding areas. Please remeber to check the transition notice board in the foyer and information you have received, from the school your child is going to.
Please speak to Miss Kelly if you are unsure about dates/times.
It was a beautiful sunny day to set the afternoon butterflies free. We sat up on the hill in the sunshine and watched them fly off up into the sky and to the trees. We have been responsibly caring for them and nurturing them since they arrived as tiny baby caterpillars! You can also view the video on the TV screen in nursery.
So much joy and excitement this morning, releasing our very special butterflies! We have been responsibly caring for them and nurturing them since they arrived as tiny baby caterpillars. You can view the full video, captured by the children on the GoPro action camera on the TV screen in nursery.
