Broxburn Family Centre and
We’ve developed one of our rooms how they love coming”
into a quiet home corner which offers
children a familiar ‘home’ space to
role-play, read, and relax.
We are also maximising use of the park

our children loved watching our
caterpillars morph into butterflies!

LOOKING FORWARD

The team will be working on improving the
quality, safety, and maintenance of their
spaces in the coming months,
empowering the children and staff to have

pride in their environment.

I just wanted to thank you for
taking such care to help settle

my wee boy in. He's very
happy at simply play which is
EAST CALDER brilliant because he can be
quite worried at change.
HIGHLIGHTS!
Our staff team worked well
together to support our children with
additional support needs.

This included offering emotional support
and personalised activities that helped the
children express their feelings. We also
established pallet and wellie boot planting
in our garden and welcomed a team of
volunteers from Nat West to support our
outdoor space development.

LOOKING FORWARD
The team are looking to further develop the

play spaces, upgrade the quiet room, and
bring in new equipment to the hall to
facilitate team games.
