Fun day - Saturday 4th June

Good afternoon everyone ,

Tickets are now on sale for our family funday on Saturday 4th June 12-3pm . The tickets are £2.00 for an adult and £1.00 for a child - they are on sale in both buildings. The cost of the tickets includes a BBQ and juice .
This event is our major fundraising activity , so please make the effort to come along . We will be selling items made by the children , including homebakes which were very popular last year! You can also make some at home and donate. Indeed any donations at all are very welcome - items for raffle/bottle stall and hoembaking would be much appreciated!

We will also have staff offering tattoos and face painting , some new fun activities for this year  and  a visit from Jillian's(0-2) drumming band! A little cafe will be set up in the Sunflowers room too , so you can all enjoy a cup of tea with a choice of those delicious homebakes.

This was a brilliant day last year with incredible support from everyone .....and it was great fun too! So make sure you come along and bring your friends too!

I've had a request from the schoolhouse regarding baby buggies - if you are bringing your child's buggy to nursery and wish to leave it here , please make sure you fold it up and place it out of the way - some days there are 6 or more buggies left which makes it very difficult for anyone to enter or leave the building , and the children cannot get to their pegs - thankyou .

We've had  lot of requests for extra sessions recently too- we will always try to accommodate extra sessions if we are able , but this is the busiest time of year and often we are full - its also best to check regarding extra sessions directly with the staff in each department - they will give you a instant answer . In order to help us do this , please make sure you let us know if your child will not be attending for any reason - notice of holidays/leaving dates in writing/email please . The childrens activities and the staffing take an enormous amount of planning so we really need to know which children will be attending on any given day .

We have been joined for the summer months by Jen Dornan- currently with the sunflowers. Jen has just successfully completed her 2nd year at Edinburgh Uni for BEd, Primary . She was with us last summer too , and we're very pleased to have her back this year- she will be covering well deserved staff holidays over the summer .

Please remember to apply suncream before the children come to nursery on sunny days - most take up to 30 minutes to be effective , and to ensure they have appropriate clothing- a hat  and tops that cover shoulders please.

And please post any comments you have on the blog - it would be really great to have  your feedback.

Thanks ,

Marion
