Nursery School Opens its Doors

Bill enjoys the open day.

I was delighted to be able to visit Cloan Nursery School in Drumchapel when it threw open its doors for an open morning to raise awareness of its work.

It was a great opportunity to learn more about the school, including its pioneering ‘outdoor play’ ethos.

Staff have developed an outdoor play area in order to encourage pupils to become more independent and more aware of their environment. As Shadow Sports Minister I am keen to encourage outdoor activity in school to help combat childhood obesity.

Additionally, there was a range of colourful displays, including stalls and games. Staff from Drumchapel LIFE were also on hand to promote ‘Money Week’, an initiative which seeks to encourage pupils to save from an early age.

It was a fantastic morning and I was very impressed by the range of activities offered by the nursery.

Cloan is a smashing nursery school and it is clear that pupils are very happy here. The outdoor play area is particularly imaginative and I would like to congratulate all involved in putting together this successful event.
