Closure from Friday March 20th

I’m sad to say that, following the recent announcement by the First Minister, Cambusbarron Villahe Nursery will be closing at the end of the week until further notice. We are still awaiting confirmation of details and will pass these on as soon as we can.
The staff team are working on providing some home link activities to support children and families at this time.
We thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.

Exploring the woods

We spent the morning exploring the woods today. We walked to the Walled Garden, along to the Curling Ponds (where we found frog spawn!) up to the Swimming Pool and back down through the Dark Woods. It was pouring with rain most of the time and so we enjoyed lots of splashing and stomping in muddy puddles.

  • a funny shape
  • make it with wood and sticks from the trees that are falling down by themslves
  • hooks for our coats
  • a spoon
  • buttons to get the TV on (but there’s not electricity in the woods so we can’t have a TV)
