Hello Spring!

Hello everyone ,

Yesterday was officially the first  day of spring and my goodness isn't it just! :-) We are all thoroughly enjoying the beautiful weather at Craigton , spending much of each day outdoors . I can hear the children in the garden as I write this . The babies and buttercups are having a  great time with their new ride-on toys , sand/water play table and the pop-up tents and tunnels . As we are hopefully heading towards a scorching summer , its time to stock up on suncream again . Can you all please provide us with sunscreen for your child - clearly labelled with  their name. Thank you

Inside , the schoolhouse children are continuing to explore their newly restocked treasure baskets- thanks to those who have donated items- , while the sunflowers have been investigating the topic of  bodies- they've been looking at a model skeleton , Zac and his bones, and animal X-rays on the lightbox .

The pre-school building is also being painted at the moment . As the work can only be done when the nursery is closed , this job will take some time so  please look out for wet paint over the next few weeks. It also means that all the children's work /displays will be taken down , so don't panic if you see bare walls - we're still very busy , just getting prepared!

All the Craigton children are looking forward to Easter and there are some lovely activities planned leading up to this . As the schools are on holiday , some of you may be going away for Easter- if so don't forget to tell us please(and have a lovely time)!

British Summertime begins this weekend - that means the clocks go FORWARD one hour Saturday night/Sunday morning - so you'll loose an hours sleep but it'll soon be summer :-)

A reminder that the nursery will be closed on Easter Monday 9th April , but we are open on Good Friday .
