It's International Women's Day! #IWD2018 #PRESSFORPROGRESS We recognise the amazing contribution made by all women involved at WOK, now and in the past. Today we are especially celebrating our West End Kindergarten Manager, Diane Munro. Diane started as an Early Years Practitioner when the Kindergarten first opened and has worked hard over the years to be promoted to the role of registered Manager. Diane is continuing her personal and professional development and is due to start her post graduate Master of Education qualification in Early Years Pedagogue later this year. ????

Due to ongoing severe weather alerts, our kindergartens will be closed tomorrow, Friday 2nd March. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Enjoy the snow and see you all again on Monday :)
March 01
Both Kindergartens will be CLOSED tomorrow, THURS 1st MARCH. Although we managed to open today, The Met Office have now raised the weather warning alert to 'red' for heavy snow showers and drifting snow for tonight/tomorrow morning. We have therefore made the decision not to open the kindergartens on Thursday 1st March due to the safety risk of travel for children, parents and staff. Please assume the kindergarten is open on Friday, unless advised otherwise. We apologise for any inconvenience that this decision may cause, however, such events are outwith our control and the safety of children, parents and staff is always our highest priority. Happy snow day!

Morning! The Kindergarten will be open today, however, we will not be travelling to the woods. Children will spend the day at the base and garden. WE WILL CLOSE TODAY AT 4PM. ⛄️

Delighted to receive this unprompted, lovely email message from a parent who is happy for us to share her feedback. Thanks Jen. ???? "I think you do a fantastic job and I recommend the Nursery to everyone I mention it to. As you’re aware, my daughter goes to a different Nursery Mon-Wed and both her Dad and I find your staff provide better feedback on her development, progress, etc and have been excellent in helping her settle in. So much so, that we are considering increasing her days with you later in the spring. Your staff are brilliant - enthusiastic, easy to speak to and they genuinely seem to care about my daughter. I really appreciate the photos and emails - it’s nice to get feedback on her day and see what she is doing - she doesn’t always tell us everything!! It’s also reassuring if we’ve been worried about anything or she’s been a bit clingy when we’ve dropped her off. It also helps me get brownie points from the nannas because I forward on the photos to them too! The learning journals are excellent and seem very well structured, but done in a way that’s easy and relevant for parents (I.e. no jargon, etc). "
