We have been harvesting some of our produce from our vegetable plots in the Walled Garden this week. We have a tremendous crop of potatoes, some pink skinned and some yellow ( the pink ones are the sneaky ones that kept appearing in amongst our carrots and seeded from the compost heap). We had some peas, beans, tomatoes and a monster courgette. We have some fantastic pumpkins growing but we are leaving them for Hallowe’en.

We made a big pot of soup with the monster courgette (yummy). We made excellent mashed potatoes and used them to make some potato crust quiches. We are developing some excellent cookery skills as we chopped and peeled our very own vegetables.

Some exciting finds in the Walled Garden and the Community Centre garden this week :

We are delighted to have been selected as a runner up in Gumtree’s Small Business Blast Off competition!

The judges told us :

“Ethical, sustainable, community at heart. Fresh approach to learning and education. After lockdown the opportunity for more children to learn through nature would be hugely valuable.”

We are looking forward to seeing our children back in nursery tomorrow, both our returners and new-starts.

We wish all of our leavers a happy and exciting day tomorrow as they start at school. We’d love to see you in your uniforms, pop in to say hello or send us a photo!!

The lunch menu for session 2021/2022 is now available here. We are delighted that we can again serve hot meals. Lunches are provided free of charge to eligible/funded children and can be purchased at a cost of £2.20 for fee paying children.

Lunches are made in Cambusbarron Primary School kitchens which has a silver food for life catering mark and transported down to us in the community centre every day.

Note that when we are in the woods a packed lunch is served (this is usually the “green” tray option).

Happy Gala day everyone!! We hope all our children enjoyed their mini gala day treats from the Cambusbarron Community Events Group, the bags looked fantastic.
We also hope that our older community members enjoyed their afternoon tea bags. We received an incredible 230 nominations and want to give our community a big pat on the back for their community spirit and neighbourly-ness in looking out for one another.
A big thank you to the Community Council and Foundation Scotland for their support. Thanks too to all the wonderful volunteers who ran around delivering on our behalf – you really made this all possible. Thanks also to Shaun at Michael More for being up at the crack of dawn to make all the scones and pancakes.
We, at CVN, are proud to be part of such an amazing community 🙌🙌🙌
