The Nursery visited the council run sheltered housing buildings as part of our work in the community. This week the blue group, Mrs O’Neill and Miss Vance took the children along just to see the building and grounds, to make the children aware of what was happening and who we were going to be visiting. The children were excited about the whole idea.
The staff initially visited the establishment, taking all their ideas and putting them to Sandra Ferguson, who is in charge. We were in the grounds taking photo’s when Sandra invited us in, and the children met some of the residents. The children were with the Nursery Staff at all times and never left alone with the residents. The children enjoyed this experience and it brightened up the residents day, making it an all round successful introduction into East Calder community. We are looking forward to developing our partnership with this group in our community.
