We have a very big Thank You to say to everyone at the Oasis group and especially to Angela Samson for hosting our joint Christmas party today. Jackie from Tapsalteerie Theatre joined us to retell the story of The Night Before Christmas and helped get us (more) into the Christmas spirit before we tucked into a wonderful spread consisting of biscuits, crisps, jelly, ice cream and juice – there might have been a little bit of chocolate in there too 😉
We exchanged our presents and our children were absolutely thrilled to receive a bag full of goodies from our older friends and particularly to find beautiful hand knitted red squirrels and foxes inside. How lucky are we??
We also have to say thanks to Norman for photos and also to the Cambusbarron Community Fund who have supported our Christmas activities
















































We are now accepting applications for session 2024/2025 (starting August 2024).

We were surprised and delighted to return from our session in the woods today to find an envelope containing a note and donation towards our children’s Christmas party. The note wasn’t signed so we are unable to say thank you properly but we are keen to make whoever it was aware that we are so very grateful.
We are so proud to be part of such an amazing community 🥰

We had an amazing trip to the Macrobert Theatre to see Eric the Elf this afternoon. We had a trip in a bus, a picnic, we helped Eric save Christmas and got a sticker in return and then another bus journey back to nursery – what was not to love?? We are all now well and truly in the Christmas spirit 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄
Thank you to Hunters Executive Coaches Ltd and the staff at the MacRobert for looking after us all so well.
A big thank you also to Cambusbarron Community Council and Foundation Scotland (Cambusbarron Community Fund) for supporting our trip.












Our children were out and about in our community yesterday delivering some random acts of Christmas kindness. We hope the lucky recipients enjoyed their flowers and our smiles!

A copy is available to view in nursery if required.

We celebrated National Tree Week today by planting 5 oak saplings in Gillies Hill Community Woodland.
3 years ago our nursery children collected acorns and Amos Higgins planted them in the Walled Garden. We’ve watched them germinate and grow into baby oak trees when we’ve visited the garden. Today we were able to dig some of the saplings up and move them to a permanent home in the woodland.
Despite the frosty weather and some hefty tree roots our children worked hard to dig holes deep enough to make sure our little tree roots could spread and grow. We are grateful to Angus Elliott for helping us find the best place and for putting in stakes and tree guards to protect our baby trees from the deer and rabbits. We are looking forward to watching our trees grow! We wonder how long it will be before they are taller than we are!













In light of this current cold snap I thought it would be worth sending you a little reminder about wearing layers and supplying spare clothes for children. This is particularly relevant for days when we are in the woods but also needed on non woods days as we still spend a significant amount of the day outside. If you have some cosy under layers in bags at all times we can support children to get them on before we go outside.
A couple of years ago we made this video of one of our children getting ready to go out to play as a reminder of the importance of wearing the right clothes.
