Forest Kindergarten Training
It was lovely to spend the last 3 days at with my LtL colleague Steve delivering Forest Kindergarten training to West Dunbartonshire nursery staff. They were a pretty creative crew!
We couldn’t have asked for better weather to be outside sharing our passion for outdoor learning.
We got some pretty good feedback from participants too :
“Steve and Jane shared an abundance of knowledge and experience that has massively built my confidence with outdoor environments.”
“The way in which Steve and Jane delivered this course, made it easy to learn.”
“Both Steve and Jane were very enthusiastic and informative, I found them easy to listen to and found everything they spoke about interesting. I would definitely recommend this course to others!”

Starting School
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!

Summer is here!
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!
