We have been busy today getting ready for the first group of children arriving tomorrow! ☺️ Please remember to stay 2metres apart and stand on a heart outside the building! ❤️
Mrs McGuigan and Mrs Jamieson had a very exciting Family Centre site visit yesterday. They were amazed at the progress that has taken place over the last two weeks. Unfortunately the ground was still setting so they will have to wait until next time for a shot on the slide. ☺️
Mrs Rattray, Miss Amin, Mrs Jamieson and Miss Adair were very busy today as they started to transform our IT suite into our new primary one learning space. Still work to do but it is taking shape! # excitingtimes # nursery and primary one collaboration
Mrs Jamieson and her daughter followed the yummy fairy cake recipe that Mrs Bryers posted on today’s blog. They decided to make their cakes into a rainbow of hope. 🌈❤️
Mrs Bryers has been very busy setting up our new outdoor classroom space. She can’t wait for some feedback from the most important people when they join us next week. 😊
We are delighted to welcome our new Modern Apprentice Ross McIntosh.
Ross is with us on a full time placement therefore you will see him around the playroom regularly. We know all children, staff and families will make him feel very welcome at Crookfur.
Mrs McIllwham is very excited to have completed the Bookbug training !She is looking forward to planning sessions for the children over the coming weeks 😊💙

What a strange end of term for us all! We hope you manage to enjoy the two week holiday at home together! 🥰 Our hub remains open for the children who require access to the provision and all our children and families remain in our thoughts. 💖 Stay Safe!
We are excited to share our first Crookfur Family Centre newsletter with you! We will be sharing these fortnightly, in the hope it gives you a little insight into life at the Family Centre, while keeping you up to date with developments.

Our tree arrived this afternoon. Its "big, big, big!".
We think it is going to need lots of decorations so we got started on making them. We can't wait to decorate it!
A huge thank you to ALBA Christmas Trees at Broom who very kindly donated it to our nursery. 🎄
Today, we wished Mrs Ayel well as she begins her maternity leave. The children came together to give her some baby gifts and give her and Baby Ayel a big cheer! We can’t wait to see her little arrival when he makes an appearance! 👣
