West End Wellies
08th February 2024
We are delighted to advise that we have recently purchased an additional nursery building which is based in Mannofield, Aberdeen and is within the grounds of Aberdeenshire Cricket Club. This nursery will be called West End Wellies (although we are totally open to suggestions for names) and we are SUPER excited about it! The outdoor space is just amazing! We are also really excited to be able to work in very close partnership with the Cricket Club. We have LOTS of ideas about providing enhanced provision for ALL of our Wellies children and families. We are still in the very early stages with regards to our new nursery (let us know if you have any name ideas) but are hoping that it will be open around August / September 2024. This will be a smaller nursery which can accommodate around 85 children from 0-5 years. It will follow exactly the same ethos as KingsWellies and QueensWellies and will provide the same very good standards of learning and care for all children. We will of course keep you fully informed of all developments and arrange visits to the new nursery as soon as possible for all parents, children and staff. Please give us any ideas for names. We have thought of: Cricket Wellies, Lord's Wellies, Wicket Wellies, Green Wellies ............. We have nearly settled on West End Wellies. What do you think?

We are all really glad to be back at nursery and are looking forward to a jam-packed third term! We would also like to say a massive thank you to all of our parents, children and families for your generosity over Xmas. We received lots of lovely presents which were shared with all staff. Everyone went home with presents to enjoy. This was extremely generous of you and MUCH appreciated! Many thanks also for your kind donations towards Mission Christmas. We managed to fill numerous boxes to donate.

Wellies £10 Snack Shopper – Would you like to do our snack shopping for us?
28th September 2023
Number, Money and Measure: “I am developing my awareness of how money is used and can recognise and use a range of coins” MNU 0-079 Our children are learning all of the time. Our main focus for learning is through developing our Literacy, Numeracy and Health and Wellbeing skills. As part of the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence, we also develop skills, knowledge and understanding in: 1. Expressive Arts 2. Social Studies 3. Technologies Sciences 4. Religious and Moral Education We would like our Wellies children to develop a good understanding of money. The best way to do this is through using REAL money. If you would like to be one of our “Snack Shoppers” over the weekend, please email our Admin team. They will then give you our snack “Shopping List” and the £5 budget. It would be a huge help to us if you and your child could buy some of the items for our snack over the weekend. This will also be a hugely beneficial experience for your child. Why not make this their weekend responsibility? This will provide a vast range of learning opportunities right across the curriculum. Please just take back the shopping, change and receipt at the beginning of the week. Please also fill out our Snack Shopper Diary so that we can share your shopping experiences with our other children! Feel free to add any photos and also your feedback. Alternatively, do this at home with own children whereby they buy your own household shopping. This is a great (and easy) way to teach them about money and the concept of budgeting.

Staffing Update
28th September 2023
We always plan to have a number of staff OVER our ratio EVERY day. This is unlike most other nurseries. This ensures that we can accommodate lots of high quality staff training, holidays and staff absences. We would like to say best wishes to Laura Burnett who is leaving us and moving to pastures new. Thank you so very much for ALL of your hard work. We will miss you. Managers and staff will keep you up to date with all of our new staff. You will see our photos up in our receptions and regular updates on Facebook.
Graduation – Class of 2023
28th September 2023
WE really enjoyed our final graduation party. What a ball we had! We asked for a bouncy castle, popcorn machine and ice cream van and that is exactly what we got! Parents and staff gave the boys and girls a very well-deserved standing ovation when they left the nursery for the last time. Congratulations everyone!
