We took a walk around the woods today to see some of the damage that Storm Eowyn caused. We saw that many trees had fallen down and some of the places we like to play now look very different. It was hard work walking around the fallen trees. We had to keep looking all around and up above us to make sure we were still safe.
We were amazed at how tall the trees are, how big their root plates are and how deep the holes they left are. We stood beside them to measure them and they were bigger even than the grown ups.
We were pleased to meet with some of the volunteers who are working so hard around the woods to clear paths and make the woods as safe as they can for us all to access. Yesterday we made biscuits to take up to say “Thank You” to them for all their hard work and we were pleased that they had time to sit and shared a picnic with us.

In light of the red weather warning for tomorrow (Friday) we have decided that nursery will be closed for the day. I hope you understand that this is not a decision we take lightly but is in the interests of safety for all concerned.

We will open again as normal at 9am on Monday January 27th.

We were delighted to be invited again to share our Christmas Party with our friends in the Oasis Group. The Oasis group went to so much work to give us to a wonderful choice of goodies to eat as well as a lovely party bag to take away. The Oasis members were so pleased to see our children and we had several compliments on their behaviour and manners!

”Its so lovely to see the wee ones”, “I dont have any grandchildren and I miss not seeing children playing”, “what a lovely smile – you can’t help but smile back”, “ Lovely children”, “Really cheered our day”

Our children tell us they had a great time : “I want to have another party”, “I did play with all the friends”, “the lady did help me”, “we got bags and I blowed the noise”, “there was a green monster there” (🤔)

We had an amazing trip to the Macrobert Arts Centre to see Santa’s Magical Lighthouse today.
Thanks also to Hunters Coaches for getting us there and back safely.

Thanks to everyone who came along to our session yesterday afternoon to catch up on our progress in our move to the woods. 

We understand that this is a very busy time of year so please be assured that we intend to have more of these events to help everyone keep everyone up to date. But also, there is no obligation to come along if you have other commitments. If you have questions at any time please just speak with a member of staff.
