Nursery Champion Update

Dear Parent/Carer,

We would like to inform you of some changes to Champions in our nursery as our numbers and community continue to grow.

Firstly, a huge congratulations to Mrs Lyon who was successful in our recruitment process and has accepted the permanent Early Years Officer role.

Secondly, we say goodbye to Mrs Fair one of our PSW champions, who is embarking on a new journey at university to become a Primary Teacher. Her last day will be the 29^th July. Also, goodbye to Miss Dolan who is embarking on a new journey at another nursery. Her last day will be the 12th August. We wish them both the best of luck and thank them for their great contribution to building Calderwood Nursery.

Finally, a warm welcome to Mrs Orr (Pupil Support Champion) who will take over from Mrs Fair, who will join us on 1^st August. Additionally, our three new Nursery Champions, Ms McPhee, Ms Cartwright and Ms Gallagher, will join us on 10^th August. As all of the new staff are already based in West Lothian placements, they will bring a range of skills and qualities to add to our champion team.

We look forward to continuing to build our Calderwood Nursery community over the next year.

Kind Regards,

Amy Miller

Principal Teacher

Children in Fallow voted on a party theme and chose a Pyjama Party. Children can come to school dressed down, up or in pyjamas to celebrate.

Welcome to Calderwood Nursery 2022/2023

Welcome to Calderwood Nursery, we are delighted to welcome you to our Calderwood family.

I have attached an information welcome leaflet and transition plan with everything you need to know about starting Calderwood Nursery.

We begin welcoming children on week beginning the 15th of August 2022. Your child start date will be dependent on their session type and birthday. For example, if your child is allocated full day Tuesday and Wednesday, short session Friday, your child’s start date will be Tuesday 16^th August. If your child is not yet three by w/b/ 15^th August your child’s first day will be on their third birthday.

Our Early Years Officer’s Mrs Laing and Mrs Lyon will contact you over the next couple of weeks with a welcome phone call to discuss your child’s start date further and to share anything you would like us to know about your child.

Below are some dates for your diary for parental sessions:

Induction to Calderwood Nursery Session – Friday 5^th August between 11:30am-1:30pm.

Stay and Play Sessions – 26^th September

Stay and play are flexible sessions where parents to choose a time (when available) to play with their child in the nursery setting. This gives you the chance to explore the spaces, experiences and interactions your child has every day. You can play their favourite games, visit their favourite spaces and see their interactions with champions and other children.

BookBug Sessions – 14^th November

Parent and Child Bookbug Sessions help to build children’s social skills and support their speech and language development. Sharing stories, songs and rhymes with babies and young children has many benefits including supporting children’s language, learning and social skills. It’s fun, free and simple, and the benefits will last their lifetime. The Bookbug Sessions support families to do more of these activities, which help build bonds and develop relationships and most importantly, are fun.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,

Miss Burton & Miss Miller
