Quarriers Ruchazie Nursery

It’s 💜

A week dedicated to recognising and celebrating volunteers, and today we’d like to say a huge thank you to Diane, who plays a huge part at Ruchazie Nursery❣️

Diane makes the biggest difference just with her presence 🫶🏼 which we appreciate so much. Her warm nature and big smile brightens up our reception area 😊 and the children love her 💛

Thank you so much Diane for everything!
You also make the best coffee ☕️🥰

What a busy few months it’s been at Ruchazie Nursery. There has been lots going on where the children have had opportunities to take part in various experiences linked to special days and events 🌟

🌟🌟🌟Development Day🌟🌟🌟

Yesterday was our nursery development day. A day packed with training, fun activities and meaningful discussions ✨

In the morning, the whole team took part in Curriculum training provided by Early Years Scotland. This was very informative and all staff took away a lot of learning from this 💭📚

In the afternoon, the team took part in an activity called Memory Wall - all staff had to think of memories within the work place and share this with the team 📝
This allowed staff to share positive experiences amongst the team and gave everyone some laughs 🤭

Luisa - our operational manager went through a very interesting slideshow on Sandra Duncan’s honeycomb hypothesis.
This allowed reflective discussions to take place on the learning environments provided for children and how this has a huge part in how children play and learn ✨

Overall a very productive day 🤗🌟

💞🌟 Celebrating our amazing Apprentices for Scottish Apprenticeship Week 🌟💞

We would like to say a huge thank you to our fantastic nursery apprentices for their constant hard work and dedication to providing the best care for all our children every day, even though they are learning themselves!
👧👶🏼👦

We appreciate you making a difference within our nursery ✨

Happy Friday 😃

We cannot believe it’s the end of January already, where has the time gone?!
We’ve had a busy few weeks here, welcoming all our families back after the holidays and settling in all our new children and families in to the nursery 💛

Our nurturing approach allow children to feel safe, happy and loved in our care ♥️

We look forward to working closely with you all for another year 😊

So much food, so many games and so much laughter this afternoon 😃💖

The team were able to relax and enjoy themselves after a full-on development day yesterday which included taking part in a Trauma workshop.

It is important that the staff team are able to switch off and do something fun to wind down as they work so hard all year round.

Even Kevin and Andy managed to get a little break from all that hard work, ensuring our new playroom is coming along nicely 🥰

We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year 🥳🎄we would like to thank all our families for their continued support and we look forward to welcoming you back in the New Year ❣️

From all of us at Ruchazie Nursery 🫶🏼

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! 🔔

We had a very special visitor this afternoon doing his rounds at Ruchazie Nursery 🎅🎁

Thank you to everyone who took part, what a fantastic afternoon it was 🎁 children created their own Christmas cards to hand over to others to say thank you!

We would like to wish all our children, families, staff and community a very Happy Christmas 🎄🎅❣️🎁

Christmas fun at the nursery 🎄🎁🎅🌟

💛 Our first parents evening at Ruchazie Nursery in a long time 💛

What a fantastic two evenings this week, allowing parents to come in and have relaxed discussions with staff about their children’s learning and progress.

Evenings like these allow parents to come in and see the amazing things that go on at nursery. Day to day drop offs and pick ups can be rushed, and evenings like these allow parents to spend time in the environment their children spend their days exploring ✨

It is a great opportunity to:
💛 Speak to staff about their child’s progress and interests
💛 Review and update personal plans and inclusion support plans
💛 Ask any questions and give feedback through questionnaires

Parents were so excited to read their wee ones first ever report 📄💛
