Christmas at Craigton
Good morning everyone ,
A reminder that tickets are now on sale for our Christmas raffle - this will be drawn after the Sunflowers concert next week . So please buy your tickets now ....we're also still gratefully accepting donations for the hamper!
The Sunflowers concert is on Tuesday 20th December . This is always a very well attended event and seating is limited so please be prepared to stand . If any of you wish to record this star studded event , please stand to the sides of the room so that others are able to see the live show- thank you . We will be serving festive refreshments after the show - so please stay and enjoy some christmas cheer ! The pre-school development officer visited us this morning and was treated to a selection of songs from the concert by the sunflowers - the practices are going very well so I think you'll all enjoy this event :-)
All buttercups and sunflowers are invited to the Xmas party on Thursday 22nd December 2-4pm . Children who are normally here on a Thursday morning do not need to be picked up until after the party at 4pm . The snowdrops and bluebells have their own more restrained celebrations for those children that normally attend on a Thursday afternoon - but don't worry , Santa will be coming to visit the children and will have gifts for all!
Apart from the high winds , so far we have been very lucky with the weather - no snow! Please remember though , that if we have heavy snow/ice that the carpark will be closed until it can be cleared, and if we have transport problems , we may need to close early , all information about closures will be posted on this blog, so please check your email to keep up to date .
The nursery will close at 6pm on Friday 23rd December and re-open 8am Wednesday 4th January 2012
