Happy Halloween

Hello everyone ,

we have been celebrating Halloween all week at Craigton and have been treated to an impressive array of costumes . We have seen pumpkins and princesses, witches and cats , dinosaurs and tigers , superheroes and pirates and many more . Thank you all for making the effort and for sharing your wonderful costumes with us. We hope you've all enjoyed the lovely decorations and lanterns that have been on display this week and that these have readied you for a weekend of Halloween fun!

Now we can start to look forward to the other big winter celebration!  Culter Playgroup are holding a Christmas Fayre on Saturday 8th November 1pm-4pm in the village hall and later in the month the celebrations really get under way with the Culter Christmas Lights switch on Saturday 22nd November 4pm-6pm again at the village hall . There will be plenty to entertain all the family at both events so please go along and support your local community.

You will all find a new policy on the administration of non prescription medication in your child's file. Please read this and let me know if you have any queries . On that subject and as we head into winter with all its illnesses , can I please remind you not to bring your child to nursery if they are unwell . Infections and viruses spread very quickly amongst the children so please keep your child at home until they have recovered , and collect your child as soon as you can if they become unwell whilst here . Please also bear in mind that these illness affect not just the children , but all their families , visitors to the setting(some of whom will be elderly or pregnant) and the staff and their families . Please help us all to stay as healthy as we can - thank you .

If you haven't already done so , you may also wish to contact your GP practice to arrange for your child to have the flu vaccination - this is now available for all 2-5yr olds.

A reminder to all sunflower parents to please return your email information asap so that we can open parents access to the ILD . You should  have all received letters requesting this information- if not please check your child's file.

And finally don't forget that its Parents Evening on Wednesday 19th November 6pm-7:30pm - hope to see you all there
