How lucky are we to have such talent and generosity in our community?? We can’t thank Ginnie from Cambusbarron Quilters enough for making these amazing Wellbeing Buddies toys for our children. We were delighted to welcome Safe Stella, Healthy Henry, Achieving Andrew, Nurtured Nora, Active Aamir, Respected Rhiya, Responsible Robbie and Included Isabella to nursery today.

It’s an exciting day today for our 2023 leavers as they head off to their new “big” schools. We are sure you will all have a great time meeting new friends and teachers. Everyone at #TeamCVN wishes you well 🥰
Over the last few months we have been watching our tadpoles grow in the pond. Today we were very excited, because we found our first little frog!
“It was tickling my hand”
“Its so small, we need to be gentle”
“It’s hopping around”

Hard to believe we are already at the end of Session 2022/2023. We’ve had a fantastic, if very fast, year with all of our little people. We will miss all of our leavers but wish them well as they move on to their next steps in their education journey.
The staff team received so many kind words and wishes yesterday along with some lovely gifts – thank you, we do appreciate them.
We hope everyone has a wonderful summer break, hopefully with a little more sunshine than we had yesterday 🤞🏻😎.
We will be back in August!
We were delighted to be part of Cambusbarron Gala Day yesterday. We set up our stall with lots of photos and information about who we are and what we do. It was lovely to meet new people and also to see so many of our children from previous years all looking so grown up! There were a few of our current cohort in attendance too although they were pretty hard to recognise 🤣
We took a train trip up to Dunblane for our summer trip. The sun shone and we enjoyed a wonderful day playing in Laighills Park.
Echoes Ecology have now completed their PEA of our proposed site in Gillies Hill Community Woodland. Their executive summary records “There was no field evidence of protected species found during the survey. There is suitable habitat for nesting birds and commuting and foraging for bats. If proposed works are to be undertaken during the breeding bird season (March to September inclusive), then any areas of the Site that need to be cleared of vegetation must be shown to be free of nesting birds prior to works commencing. There are no other recommended surveys.”
Echoes Ecology report lists several species from the Scottish Biodiversity List which may be present in the woodland – these include bats, toads, hedgehogs, red squirrels and native bluebells. We have seen lots of bluebells this spring, we regularly see toads and have once spotted a red squirrel. We need to keep our eyes peeled for the rest!
