We had a very busy final soup share of the 2021/2022 session yesterday. Thank you to everyone who came along to share some soup, bread, cakes and, most importantly, chat. It was lovely to see you and we look forward to welcoming you back when we return after the summer holidays.
Days in the woods are always good, warm days in the woods even better but not sure what can top a warm day in the woods AND finding tiny toads! 🐸🐸
Update – wrote that too soon! Even more better are warm days in the woods AND tiny toads AND marshmallows!!
Great to be at Cambusbarron Gala Day and see so many of our children having so much fun despite the rain. That said CVN children are very used to having great fun in all weathers! It was also lovely to get a chance to speak to children and parents who will be starting with us after the summer and also to meet prospective new families. We are so lucky to be part of such a vibrant community.
A big thank you to everyone who came along to our Jubilee Afternoon Tea today. We were fortunate to have chosen such a glorious day and that we were able to sit outside in the sunshine. Our children and staff worked hard to decorate and set up our garden and to make sure there were enough cakes for everyone although there was a time when it looked like we would run out! A big thank you to our helpers, particularly the dishwashers, we really appreciate it.
Thank you too for all the comments and suggestions for our new nursery in the woods, we can’t wait to be able to invite everyone to afternoon tea in our new building!
We’re developing our ideas for our new nursery building in Gillies Hill Community Woodland and wanting to get some ideas and suggestions from the wider community. We’d really like to hear from you about experiences, ideas and suggestions on how to make sure our building is ethically and sustainably built. Please take some time to give us your ideas via this google form.
We’ve been getting on with planting our vegetables in the Walled Garden at Gillies Hill Community Woodland this week. We’ve been planting the beans, turnips, carrots, courgettes, onions and beetroot that we sowed before the Easter holidays. So far we have filled one of the beds where the old greenhouses used to be. Next week we hope to get our raised bed planted too!
