We are proud to say that both Jordan and Katie completed their Outdoor First Aid training course with the First Aid Training Cooperative this weekend. They are now prepared for all eventualities although hopefully it’s never needed 🤞🏻

Most definitely! Just drop us an email and we can arrange a suitable time.
We are delighted that our very talented friend Ginnie (AKA The Sock Lady) has decided to make CVN her Sock Cause for 2024. Ginnie is an amazing knitter (among other things) and over the last few years has donated the money raised from the sale of her hand knitted socks to a variety of good causes. Last year Ginnie raised over £800 for her chosen cause and has challenged herself to beat that this year.
Ginnie doesn’t take any money for the yarn or her time so all the proceeds will come directly to CVN. As a guide the average donation is £20.
Here are some of the socks we have available for sale just now but, if there is a specific colour or size you would like, Ginnie will also take orders. Email Jane@CambusbarronVillageNursery.com with details.
Donations can be made via our PayPal link – please use Friends and Family to avoid charges.
We are pleased to report steady progress towards developing the next phase of our plans to move our nursery service to the woods. During this interim phase we plan to build a shed which will serve as a shelter and storage area and will support our children’s play and learning in the woodland.
This week we met with members of the Cambusbarron Community Development Trust board of trustees and agreed a rough position for our shelter. Have a look at this (very amateur) drone footage showing the identified location (adjacent to the Walled Garden). The taped area is very approximately the size of the proposed shelter (about 7mx5m).
Our architects are working on our planning application and we intend to submit this in the next few weeks.
We will be at the CCDT Open Day in the Community Centre on Saturday Jan 27th between 11am and 4pm if you want to talk to us or find out more about our plans.
Below are suggestions for what our shelter could look like.
CVN is now closed for the Christmas and New Year holiday. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and the very best for 2024.
We look forward to seeing all of our children back in nursery on Jan 8th 2024.
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).
Children already attending CVN do not need to apply again. Please notify us ASAP however if you anticipate that will be a change in your child’s attendance pattern.
Applications should be made using Stirling Council’s forms (PDF or WORD) and then emailed to us at admin@CambusbarronVillageNursery.com.

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 🥰
