Nursery Newbies!
This week we have welcomed lots of new children and families to our Nursery! The children have been amazing at learning the nursery routines, exploring their new environment and making friends. Our garden has been particularly popular!

Into Calderwood Nursery
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 16th August. If your child is not yet three by w/b/ 15th 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 5th August between 11:30am-1:30pm.
Please book a slot using the link below:
- Stay and Play Sessions – 26th 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 – 14th 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
