Today seen the Searchers release their 4 butterflies after observing them transform from caterpillars to chrysalis to butterflies in their room. Of course there was only one place that the children wanted to release the butterflies to and that was Figgate Park. The children watched their butterflies fly off in the beautiful park.
Friday seen our school leavers graduate. They enjoyed a little party before the parents joined us for our graduation song ( as picked by the children ‘can’t stop the feeling’ from trolls) then it was graduation gift time for our superstars. These investigators will be missed by us all, most of them started their journey with […]

Last week seen the whole nursery out in force to enjoy the sun. We had the garden doors open at 7.30am in the Explorers (the sand and water play was out, crates were being used for climbing/balancing) and the Searchers had their last block of enjoy-a-ball (more sessions will be arranged).
Yesterday the Investigators let their butterflies go in the Figgate Park. From the caterpillars arriving, the investigators observed the changes closely from little caterpillars, to chrysalis, to emerging butterflies and then beautiful butterflies ready to be set free. What a beautiful sight, watching the butterflies fly off in our favourite park.

Last week carrying on from our topic ‘people who help us’ we received a visit from our local police officers. During this visit the children were very eager to ask questions such as “Do you have police dogs?”, “Why do you have a lady’s helmet?”, and “what kind of jobs do you do and why […]
Last Thursday the Searchers took a trip to Gorgie Farm due to the children’s recent interest in animals. While we were there we seen some pigs, sheep, lambs, cows and chickens. When we returned to nursery we transformed the water tray into a mini safari.
Just a reminder that we have ‘Picture Panda’ at the nursery on Monday 10th from 10am to 4pm. Children who attend the Monday sessions will get their photograph taken (please feel free to provide a change of clothes that staff will place on your child for the photograph).You are under no obligation to pay for […]
This month the Investigators asked to learn about ‘space’. We created a space station in the role play area, complete with space suits, walkie-talkies and a control panel. The children are also being very creative with junk modelling, creating moon landers and rovers.
