Graduation – Class of 2021
08th September 2021
WE really really enjoyed our final graduation party. What a ball we had! We asked for a bouncy castle and popcorn machine – and we got them! It was a really lovely reunion before starting school! Parents and staff gave the boys and girls a very well-deserved standing ovation when they left the nursery for the last time. It really did bring a tear to our eyes. Congratulations everyone!
What have the Wellie Gang been up to this time?
08th September 2021
We can’t believe that it is Autumn already! We have been as busy as usual. We have been completing the Hands Up Travel Survey, music making, national fitness day, national country music day, delicious bbqs, pizzas in the pizza oven, Recycling week, lots of planting, learning about the seasons, how to keep safe, creatures under the sea and exploring minibeasts and insects! We are like little sponges – never stop learning!

Messy Children are Happy Children
08th June 2021
Since returning to nursery, we have been playing outside as much as possible. Water walls, mud kitchen, shaving foam, playdough, construction, loose play, minibeast hunts, hedgehog preservation and so much more! We are having so much fun but sorry if we come home a bit messy! Remember that you can order our nursery uniform to keep your good clothes nice and clean!

Care Inspectorate Inspection – March / April 2021
08th June 2021
We are really delighted to have received our Care Inspection report. We came out with flying colours and couldn’t have done any better! I am extremely proud of the staff and children who really impressed our Inspectors with their knowledge and skills. Thank you also to the parents who contributed to the Inspector’s consultation. All comments were also very positive. I will send out the finalised Report as soon as it is published.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
08th June 2021
Some of our children have already started to leave us and I have to say that all of the emails, messages and cards have really brought a tear to my eye. The very kind words mean such a huge amount as it proves that we have achieved what we set out to do. We genuinely only want the very best for all of our children and families. Also all of the extremely positive comments that we have received during the pandemic, have really meant a huge amount to us too.
P1 Graduation
08th June 2021
This year we have 42 children leaving us to go to school. We have all been very busy planning our Graduation party and ceremony which we will hold on Saturday 4th July. Our Graduation Group have been busy organising everything themselves. We can’t wait to wear our graduation gowns for our official photos and to have a real knees up at our party and ceremony. Marcia will be sending more information out as we continue to plan. Only our school leavers will be invited to attend (no other leavers) as this is a special and important next step for them.
Best of luck to our boys and girls who will be leaving us to go to P1 and school nursery
08th June 2021
We will miss you ALL very, very much but know that you are all ready for P1 and that each and every one of you will go far! Remember to send us photos of you in your school uniforms!! We have been very busy speaking to your new P1 teachers and also to your parents via zoom for parent’s night. We will work EXTRA hard with your new schools to ensure that you experience a range of very positive transition activities to make sure that you are ready to start your next adventure. Marcia will be in touch with more details.
