Parental Consultation – Question of the month February 2018

26th February 2018

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 February 2018 question of the month comes from How Good Is Our Early Learning and Childcare and focuses on Quality Indicator 1.1: Leadership and Management. Our board will be changing shortly to show our March 2018 question of the month. We very much value your feedback.

French Lessons

Bonjour! We have loved having our weekly French lessons with Linda from La Jolie Ronde! Each week we have been learning French through fun songs, puppets, finger rhymes and games. We have also been imitating and repeating lots of oral activities with Linda. Have you heard us talking French yet?


We have had a very busy start to 2018

26th February 2018

We have had a very busy start to 2018. Many thanks to Lucas’s mummy for coming in to tell us all about Chinese New Year and how she celebrates it. We loved hearing all about her family traditions. Also to Pyjama Drama for coming in to do some very special sessions with us all about the Year of the Dog! We also loved listening to Scottish poems, dancing to Scottish pipe music, tasting haggis, neeps and tatties and designing our own tartans and coats of arms to celebrate Robbie Burns Day. We made THOUSANDS of pancakes and chose our own favourite toppings. We have also decided to make our own Talking and Thinking and Learning Trees – look out for these outside our rooms and in reception.
