NEW POLO SHIRT
MARCH 2019

We reviewed the polo shirt colour after receiving some feedback from our families. The children have now picked a darker colour - purple!

Tea's Company
march 2019

We have become involved in regular visits to the local community cafe. This provides the children with the opportunity to build upon their work from their care home visits by expanding upon their social skills and developing respect for others through a variety of multi-generational experiences.

Regional Improvement Collaborative
FEBRUARY 2019

Our Deputy Manager was part of the sub group and worked on a project with the 2-3 room team to up skill practitioners and increase Expressive Arts experiences for our 2 year olds. Nicola was also involved in helping to organise a RIC event for practitioners across Stirling, Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and West Lothian Councils. Nicola and Amanda presented a workshop sharing the achievements of our project.

Reviewing out vision, mission and values
february 2019

As part of our nursery improvement plan we are reviewing our mission, vision and values. We have come a long way since these were originally created so we thought now was a great time to revisit these. We thought.... why not make consultation fun?!!
Each play room has a "doodle board". You may have already noticed a giant sheet of paper either inside or outside your child's play room. We are asking you to share "What you want from Lecropt Nursery for your child?".
Please take the time to sketch a doodle or write a few words or both on our giant doodle boards. Our children and staff will be contributing to this too. Once this is complete we will use this to create a revised written version as well as one doodle version that all stake holders can relate too. An example of a doodle board will be on display next to this as an example for you.
While we're at.... we thought.... why not use this opportunity to rename our play rooms. We're going with the theme of local areas that the children relate to on visits and outings. We'll use our doodle boards in each room as a way to narrow down the best suited name for each room.
Please have a look at our video of just a few examples of our approach at Lecropt Nursery with the help of some of our 3-5 children.
Many thanks for your support!
The Lecropt Team
