Appeal

Good morning everyone ,

we are continuing to make the most of the lovely summer and spending a lot of time outdoors . The entire nursery has just been in the garden to say goodbye to Leanne - the children(and staff) gave her cards and sang some lovely  songs for her . Leanne has been with us for two years as one of out 4-6 girls , and as relief staff this summer . She has worked in both buildings so knows all the children at Craigton  . She is hoping to start Uni later this year . Best of luck for the future Leanne - we'll all miss you !
This does mean that we have a 4-6 vacancy if you know anyone who'd be interested .

The Sunflowers are appealing for small cardboards boxes please - anything up to the size of a cereal box . They will be using these to make some interactive models to support numeracy and literacy .
The schoolhouse have set up some interest tables following their  HOLIDAY theme , so look out for  requests for specific items from them over the coming weeks .

We have been asked to submit our annual self-evaluation by the Care Inspectorate . Last years submission is now on display in all departments - please have a look , and if you have any suggestions or contributions , please let me know as soon as possible , and I will include them in our evaluation - your input is always welcomed .......on that note.....I am still looking for volunteers for the Parents Forum - I have three members so far , but would like to have 2 or 3 more if possible . Please contact me asap if you'd like to join us .

And finally a reminder not to allow your child to bring food to the nursery or arrive eating . We have several children with severe allergies (in some cases potentially life threatening) , and we work very hard to ensure they do not come into contact with anything that may harm them.
For the same reason(and to keep access clear), please speak to staff about a safe place for car seats/buggies if you need to leave them here - even  a small biscuit crumb/milk spill on these could harm another child .
We'd really appreciate your co-operation in this matter to help keep all the children at Craigton safe . Thank you
