Cambusbarron Gala Day Afternoon Teas

Cambusbarron Gala Day 2021 will need be different because of COVID restrictions. We hope however that our community will still be able to come a little closer together, at least in spirit, as we all celebrate the day. While the Gala committee is working hard to make Gala day a success for our children, the children and staff at Cambusbarron Village Nursery are focussing on the older population! To make sure this section of the community can join in the celebration CVN would like to deliver a Gala Afternoon Tea to all the elderly and vulnerable residents of Cambusbarron. We need your help to identify these people. So, if you know of someone who would appreciate this gift please provide their details here or email us at Jane@CambusbarronVillageNursery.com for more information.

Birch Tapping

We spent this morning in Gillies Hill Community Woodland tapping birch trees and harvesting birch sap with Amos. This was a fantastic opportunity for our children to learn about the changes spring brings to the woods and also to understand more about different types of trees and how to identify birch trees by their distinctive silvery white bark. Amos showed us how he drilled a small hole in the tree to let the sap come out and we watched as it started to drip. The children were so excited that they wanted to try catching the sap on their tongues and told us it tasted amazing!
We learned that birch trees are better at producing sap than most other trees as we tried tapping a willow tree and found that it didnt drip at all. We tied milk cartons to the birch trees to catch the sap and when we checked later it was nearly half full.
Thanks for a great day Amos 😊

Return to Nursery 2021

You may be aware that the First Minister has now confirmed that early years services will be able to reopen for all children from Monday Monday February 22nd. Following a meeting with Stirling Council this morning I am happy to confirm that Cambusbarron Village Nursery will therefore re-open on Monday in line with these plans.

Please be aware that we remain under strict guidance which aims to minimise the risk of infection spread and that our additional hygiene measures and precautions will remain in place. In particular please ensure that:

  • you do not come to nursery if you or anyone in your household is unwell or has any symptoms of COVID
  • only one adult comes to drop off or collect a child
  • face coverings are worn when inside the Community Centre
  • you sign in and out using our Test and Protect code 9905
  • you maintain physical distancing

We look forward to seeing you next week.

Kind regards

Jane
