If your child enters nursery through the front door you can pay toy fund on a Tuesday and if your child enters through the side door this will be paid on a Wednesday. Please pay this to a member of management or Sharon.

Summer Fun
As summer approaches all of the children will be taking part in a week full of fun activities to celebrate the end of term. These fun activities are due to start the week beginning the 21st June. If any 50 week children are taking holidays could you please inform the nursery of these. Thank you.

Outdoor Clothing
Just a reminder that our children spend a lot of time outdoors can I ask that your child has suitable warm clothing. I know that we are coming into spring but it still can be cold.

Please Close the Gate
A gentle reminder to parents when dropping off or collecting your child depending on which entrance you use please can you close the gate behind you as this is important for the children’s safety when going outdoors. In addition can parents be mindful of your time when collecting your child, as this impacts on the staff completing there enhanced cleaning in line with the COVID-19 guidance for other children arriving for there afternoon session, Thank you

Families in Partnership —Transition Programme to Primary School
We hope you have all enjoyed the fun packs that were provided by the Families in Partnership and have benefited from the programme. There will be an evaluation available in the coming weeks and we would appreciate if you could provide your feedback about the programme.

On a Final Note...
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for their incredible hard work over this last year which has been challenging but their commitment and support has been amazing in keeping themselves and the children safe.
To all our parents thank you for your understanding and patience over the last year during this pandemic and working with us in following the guidance in keeping safe and supporting us with your donations. I know some of you will not be returning so thank you and for our parents returning let’s hope we will be back to some normality for starting back in August.
We would like to wish our school leavers good luck on their next journey to Primary 1.
Have a good summer
Angela McBride and Team Eastwood.
