Dear Parent/Carer

Welcome to Elie Street Nursery. 

In Elie Street Nursery where excellence is our goal we provide for each individual child a welcoming, caring ethos where children are confident, motivated and enjoy learning in an establishment where education is stimulating, challenging, exciting and fun.

Nursery is often a child's first experience alone into the larger world outside the family and the home. Recent months have been difficult for families and attending nursery should help make things feel a little more normal for you and your child. We recognise that you may be anxious about your child starting nursery. Please be assured that the health and safety of our children and staff is paramount and we continue to follow current Covid guidance from the Scottish Government and Glasgow City Council.

By working in partnership with parents/carers we aim to provide an environment which is warm, friendly and an extension of the home. We try to involve parents in the life of the nursery to ensure your child's learning journey is a happy, memorable and successful one.

If you have any questions please speak to a member of staff who will be happy to help.

Yours sincerely,

Michelle Smith
