Elvis Kids Research Study
More Information:
Recently we published evidence that nasal irrigation with salt water helped reduce the cold in adults. We have also shown the mechanism for how salt water helps with the common cold when applied on the nasal epithelium. Our research showed that cells use the chloride from the salt water to fight viral infections. Hence, we are now testing if salt water nose drops helps children fight the cold.
If you have a child under 7 years of age, you may be able to join the fight.
The Children’s Hospital in Edinburgh are doing a study of salt water nose drops to see if it helps get rid of the cold faster.
Your child does not need to have a cold right now to take part!
You can join right now by calling/texting 07973657457 for an appointment to sign up and to be taught what to do the next time your child has a cold.
Your child does not need to attend.
Families completing the study will receive travel expenses and a £30 voucher to compensate for any inconvenience.

Grouping Exit Plan (Gr-Exit) in Calderwood Nursery
With changes to COVID-19 guidance, Calderwood Nursery have begun to transition out of our grouping structure. We enjoyed discussing our plan with our clan reps this morning. You can find out more about our plans below. If you have any further questions please contact your clan reps or the nursery and we would be happy to discuss further.
Social stories will be shared on Online Learning Journals by the end of each week.
Suncream in the nursery
Dear Parent/Carer,
As we welcome sunnier weather at Calderwood, a gentle reminder that all children are required to bring in their own sun cream labelled with their own name. This must have been previously applied before and parental consent must be given. The nursery will contact you if you haven’t previously given consent.
Parents should apply the sun cream before coming to nursery. If you can, please also provide a sun hat that is labelled with your child’s name.
If you have any other questions. Don’t hesitate to speak to the nursery champions.
Many Thanks
Nursery Lost Property
Dear Parent/Carer,
Our champions are working hard to support our children to be independent by putting their belongings in their bag. However, we are aware some items may have gone to the wrong home! If you have any items that do not belong to your child please return them to the nursery so we can get them back to their owner. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and our champions will continue to support with this process.
Kind Regards,
The Nursery Champions
