Winter time is coming

Yes indeed the clocks go back this weekend so we all get an extra hour . I would say in bed , but as parents of young children that's unlikely! So lets have an extra hour to play .....and that of course means that we are all looking forward  to Halloween at Craigton .

We will be celebrating all week , not just on the day , so that all the children have  a chance to have some  Halloween fun .  All children are welcome to come along in their costumes at any time next week, though please ensure they have something to change into as well - it can be very hard work being a witch/ cat/princess/superhero all day long!. Please also feel free to bring in any pumpkin lanterns from home and we'll display them in the nursery for all to see.

Looking ahead we have some dates for your diary :

PARENTS EVENING : 6pm to 7:30pm Wednesday 19th November . This is for all parents to come along to chat to the staff  and discuss your child's progress. You will be able to see some of the activities on offer as well as have the opportunity to meet other parents . This is a drop-in evening - you are not expected to stay the whole time just come along when you can. Do please make other arrangements for the children though - the staff will be talking to parents so unable to supervise them. We look forward to seeing you all there .

SUNFLOWERS CHRISTMAS CONCERT : Wednesday 17th December 3pm . More information on this  will follow nearer the time , but please keep that afternoon free.

CHRISTMAS PARTY: Thursday 18th December 2-4pm . This is for all buttercups and sunflowers - the snowdrops/bluebells have their own more restrained celebrations as it all rather  overwhelming for the little ones .

PLEASE NOTE : as the above is such a busy week , we will not be able to accommodate any extra sessions.

And finally - The nursery will close at 6pm on Tuesday 23rd December and re-open 8am Monday 5th January 2015
