Merry Christmas

Hello everyone ,

oh yes its nearly here! We have been well and truly filled with festive spirit this week .
Huge thanks to all of you who came along to the sunflowers concert on Wednesday - as ever it was standing room only :-) its always such a pleasure to welcome so many into the nursery and helping to get our Christmas celebrations underway . In particular its wonderful to meet extended family members - aunties , uncles , cousins and grandparents who we often hear about but rarely see! We do hope you enjoyed the sunflowers performance of 'Christmas Eve in the Toy Shop' (and well done to you all for joining in with the singing :-)) The children and staff worked very hard to produce this event , and I'm sure that you will all agree it was well worth it !
The raffle for the hamper was expertly drawn by Ashton as it was his birthday(thank you Ashton) , and the winner was Gregor in the sunflowers - congratulations! He may be too young to enjoy all the treats inside , but Im sure that his parents will appreciate them  ! Many thanks to all who donated items/bought tickets . We raised £70.00 from this for the Staff Development Fund.
And as if that wasn't enough excitement - yesterday we had the xmas party ! There was dancing and games and crackers and party food and SANTA too!!!!! I'm sure all the children would like to thank him for taking time out of his very busy schedule to come and visit us .......and are all looking forward to his visit next week.

Barring the arrival of wintry weather or other unexpected events, this is likely to be the last post of 2013 . Id like to thank you all for your continued support and your contributions to the nursery - it really does made a big difference to the setting to have your involvement and its very much appreciated .

From all of us at Craigton Lodge - we wish you a Christmas full of wonder and joy,  and that 2014 brings you all health and happiness  .
We shall close at 6pm on Monday 23rd and will see you all again 8am Monday 6th Jan 2014 - enjoy the break - we shall! :-)
