Karens Childcare, Drumnadrochit

As a funded childcare provider, do you know I also provide lunches. Healthy eating is very important to me and I have several courses covering healthy eating, & food allergy awareness as well as food hygienne under my belt. My kitchen has also been inspected by environmental health.

On Saturday 9th March, the Eastgate Centre is holding a book drive for HALO - Highland Action for Little Ones. Waterstones is holding a story time event at 11am and another at 3pm with the Gruffalo making an appearance. This is a free event for families to bring their wee ones along and an opportunity for them to dress up if they want to. If you have a family coming along and would like a costume for a child, please get in touch with us. We can't promise to match the request exactly but will try our best.

HALO are inviting the community to support this drive by donating books at the HALO Donation Centre on Level 4 Falcon Gallery Estate Shopping Centre.

We love a dance in the garden especially if bubbles are involved. A wee drop of falling snow is not going to stop us.

It wasnt just the wee kids that loved the new swinging den in the garden my big kid thought it was fun too 😂

Delighted to be part of Childsmile ,
Each child in my care will recieve their free toothbrush and toothpaste set this week .

Whilst the wee ones napped this afternoon, we had some cooking fun, afternoon snack for all sorted.

With christmas now a distant memory, we have once again been enjoying our local outdoor spaces.
