Springtime at Craigton

Good morning everyone ,

I hope that you have all been enjoying and making the most of the lovely spring weather we have had. We certainly have - the children have enjoyed taking most of their activites outside into the garden , as well as exploring the surrounding area on lots of walks and trips to the parks . There has been digging , making mud  and sandpies , watching the leaves and buds appear on the treess ,  the first flowers and vegetables planted by the children begin to shoot , the variety of birds visiting the garden to feast on the nuts and seeds in the feeders. So lots to investigate , explore and learn ...but above all have fun doing so!
Remember that the children do need protection from the sun , so please make sure your child has sunscreen and a hat for outdoor play(both clearly labelled) . We do have nursery supplies , but these are only if your child does not not have their own(we are using Nivea Kids SPF50)
Our thanks to Tony Ogilvie(Natailie's husband) who has recently taken on the maintenance of our outdoor area- and doesn't the garden look lovely :-)  

Our fundraising Funday is on Saturday 4th June 12-3pm . We are planning lots of stalls and activities and hope that you can all make it along -bring your freinds and familes . Ticktets will be on sale for this in mid-May . Entry includes BBQ so you dont even need to make lunch that day ! More details of this will be posted nearer the time. I am appealing tho for raffle prizes - if you (or your employer)are able to offer anything as a prize then please do so - last year we had some wonderful donations which really encouraged the ticket sales.  We do need you to suppport this event so please keep the day free!

And a final reminder - the nursery will be closed on Easter Monday- 25th April , Friday 29th April  and Monday 2nd May.
