The Scottish Daily Mile

We will continue to aim for all of our children to walk, jog or run for at least 15 minutes each day. Most children can average around a mile in that time! Keep going gang!

We are DELIGHTED to announce that we have achieved our Eco Schools Scotland Green Flag Award. This is a real privilege and the result of LOTS of hard work. Well done to Laura for moving forward with this initiative and to the boys and girls for their perseverance. Laura will be arranging a celebration whereby we can hoist our beautiful green flag! We will keep you posted. We also really enjoyed bulb planting with Coull Green Residents Association in Kingswells. We helped to plant their 2000 bulbs!

Vision, Values and Aims

03rd November 2017

We recently emailed you out a copy of our Vision, Values and Aims as we are in the process of reviewing these. Please find them attached. You can find these in our KingsWellies Nursery Prospectus, our KingsWellies Policy documents and also in frames up around the nursery. We want to know whether or not we are getting them right? They need to be MORE than just words. We are asking our parents, staff, partners and children to review these with us. Please can you give us your feedback? What should we add / delete? What are we doing well? What could we do better? You will find copies of the attached document outside each room and also in reception. We will look forward to hearing from you.


The BIG Questions

03rd November 2017

We will be asking our children lots of BIG questions as part of their topic work. Can you discuss them with your children at home also?


Question of the month November 2017

03rd November 2017

Each month we strive to self-evaluate our practice because we want to be a better nursery. We also need our parents to give us feedback. Our November question of the month comes from How Good Is Our Early Learning and Childcare and focuses on Quality Indicator 2.1: Child Protection and Safeguarding. All of our staff have recently been involved in refreshing their child protection training. Kerry is our Child Protection Coordinator within KingsWellies Nursery. Please give us your comments. Your feedback means a lot to us.


Children in Need – W/B 13th November

03rd November 2017

Lots of fun and fundraising this week! Please come to nursery dressed in spots all week and donate £1. We will also be holding a special teddy bear’s picnic in our pyjamas on Friday 17th November. Please donate £1 to take part. Can you take part in our duck race and spotty treasure hunts? These will be throughout the nursery with lots of prizes to be won. Have you got any old £1 coins left? Why not donate them to Children in Need? We will keep our fingers crossed for a visit from Pudsey too! This is a very worthwhile cause. Please help in any way that you can. Many thanks.
