Dear parent or guardian/ Dear pàrant no neach-cùraim,
I would like to welcome you to Lyoncross Nursery on behalf of myself and the staff team where we believe that it is:
“The right of all young children to high quality relationships, environments and services which offer a holistic approach to meeting their needs. Such needs should be interpreted broadly and encompass play, learning, social relationships and emotional and physical wellbeing.”
Scottish Government, 2009.
Giving children the best start in their journey through education and on to lifelong learning is of the greatest importance to us and we will support you as you take your first steps in this exciting journey. We are a nurturing establishment and our Nurture Room, the Skye Room, provides support to small groups of children. Please remember that while your children play, they are learning skills for life as:
“Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child's soul.”

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and myself or any member of staff will be happy to assist you. We are active participants in the Lourdes Learning Community and continue to establish further community links.
The nursery is a dual language establishment teaching in both English and Gaelic medium. The nursery has achieved Accreditation as a Communication Friendly Establishment and 1st and 2nd Green Flag Eco School Awards and Happy and Healthy accreditation. We are also a Health Promoting School.
I hope that you will be able to participate in and enjoy your child’s time at Lyoncross Nursery. Above all we hope that your child’s time at nursery is a happy one.
Many thanks/ Mòran taking,
Angela McConalogue
Head of Nursery
