Calderwood Communication (For information):
Choosing our Values
Thank you to everyone who voted for our values. The votes have been counted across our families, children and champions. Our values are:
Creativity – noun – the use of imagination or original ideas to create something; inventiveness.
Caring – adjective – displaying kindness and concern for others.
Connectedness – noun – a feeling of belonging to or having affinity with a particular person or group.
I’m sure you will agree these encompass all we are aiming to achieve at Calderwood Nursery.
FirePit Sessions
Thank you to all who attended our sessions our firepit session. We loved sharing these with our families. We hope you had as much fun as the champions and children. Please give us feedback so we can continue to improve our sessions by clicking here.
Champion Conversations
Please arrive just before your appointment. There will be a small waiting area in which you can look through the floor book. Your child’s champion will meet you at the waiting space and bring you to their allocated space on the nursery floor. You will have a 10-minute slot to discuss your child’s progress. We look forward to seeing you all then.

On the 27th March, throughout the day, we are welcoming 1 member of a child’s family to visit our nursery garden to support with planting, weeding, tidying and developing this space. If you will attend with your child please just let us know on the door.
HOME LINKS:
The children have been learning about predication (what happens next?)
- Read a story with your child and ask them to predict what happens next
- Conduct an experiment with your child, before the results ask them what they think will happen next. Here are some ideas for you to use https://www.firstdiscoverers.co.uk/early-years-science-activities-eyfs/
As always, please share any experiences with us on Online Learning Journals.
As ever, thank you for your continued support. If you would like to leave us any feedback, please click here.
Kindest Regards,
The Nursery Champions
