The children drew the raffle tickets for the food hampers at nursery this morning. Well done to Marley and Mary Anderson who have won the hampers. AJ won the Smarties guessing that there were 244 in the glass jar. Can you please collect your prize from the nursery at your earliest convenience. We have raised £240.79 for nursery funds. We will discuss with the children after the holiday what they think we should buy with the money.

As it is the end of term can you please ensure that your child’s pigeon hole is emptied.

 

We would like to thank everyone for their help in collecting the Scottish Sun free book vouchers for the nursery. We have reached and exceeded our target of 1750 vouchers and these have been sent away this morning. The extra vouchers will not be going to waste as another nursery who have not managed to achieve the target will be using them to make up their total.

On behalf of both nurseries we cannot thank you enough.

We had a fantastic time at our Christmas  sing-a-long. Thank you to all those that were able to join us on Thursday for the event. During the sing-a-long we were raising funds for the nursery selling raffle tickets and other Christmas items to raise funds for the nursery. We still have some raffle tickets and other items for sale if you would like to purchase them. The raffle will be drawn on Wednesday morning.

 

We think our children sang beautifully on the day and looked super cute in their Christmas attire.

Our Christmas parties are taking place  on Thursday 19 December, nursery will be open as normal on this day for both sessions.

• The morning session party will start at 10AM with Santa arriving at 11.30AM.
• The afternoon session party will be at 2PM with Santa arriving at 3.30PM.
• Full day children who do not attend the nursery on the Thursday are welcome to attend one of the parties either 10.00-11.30AM or 2.00-3.30PM please inform a member of staff which party you will be attending.

Nursery will resume on Monday 6 January 2020 for all children.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!

The nursery Christmas party is on the 19 December not the 18 December previously mentioned on the school app. The party will begin at 10AM for morning children and 2PM  for afternoon children (with the special visitor arriving at 11.30AM and 3.30PM respectively). If your child is full day but does not attend on a Thursday they are welcome to attend one of the parties at either 10AM or 2PM please let a member of staff know which party they will be attending.

Due to the parties there will be no lunch time for the morning children, Thursday full day children should still bring their lunch as normal.

 

This is information relating to the Christmas festivities we have coming up in the nursery.

Free Books

We are still collecting the vouchers in the Scottish Sun for the free books. We need to collect 17500 vouchers to receive £250 worth of free books. Could you please ask relatives, neighbours and work colleagues to keep their vouchers for us.

Christmas Hamper

We are trying to raise some funds to buy new nursery resources. To help with this we have decided to make up a hamper which we will raffle. We have put a box in the cloakroom area of the nursery and are looking for donations of non-perishable foods or toiletries to make this up. Any donations are greatly appreciated.

Christmas Sing-a-long

This will take part on the 11 December at 11AM for the morning children and 2.30PM for the afternoon children. We have sent home a copy of the words so you can practice  for the occasion. Can children please wear something Christmas related for this event.

Christmas Party

The special visitor will be arriving at 11.30AM and 3.30PM.

On this day only the children who are in for the full day will be having lunch in the nursery. Please do not send your child with a lunch if they only attend in the morning.

 

The photographer will be in nursery tomorrow, Tuesday 26 November, to take the children’s photos. She will start at 8.50AM for the morning children with siblings and then will take individual photos when these are finished. In the afternoon the children with siblings photos will be started at 1.15PM. If your child does not attend nursery tomorrow you are welcome to bring them along at the start of the sessions to have their picture taken. If you do not want your child’s pictures taken please inform a member of staff when dropping your child off.

Events taking place next week.

There will be a taster session with our outdoor learning walks to the woods. There will be 8 children going on the walks which will take place this Tuesday afternoon (26th November) and Wednesday 3rd December for the morning children. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the walk including warm jumpers, gloves, hats etc. The nursery will provide the jacket and water resistant trousers but a change of clothes may be advisable just in case.

The school photographer will be in the nursery on Tuesday 26 November for all children. If your child does not attend nursery on that day please speak to a member of staff if you want your child’s picture taken so we can arrange a time for you to bring your child along. Children with siblings will be done at the start of the sessions so please bring siblings along at 8.50AM for the morning children and 1.15PM for the afternoon so this can happen.
