Taking part in fundraising activities helps children to learn about others that are less fortunate than themselves and understand how we can help them. Fundraising events are good fun and are a great way to get children, families and communities together. Some of the fundraisers we have taken part in are; sponsored toddles, superhero days, bake sales, fun days and food bank collections. We have fund-raised for charities such as Comic Relief and Children in Need.

ZooLab visits helps nourish our children’s curiosity and creates interest in the outdoor environment by introducing children to all sorts of animals, insects and reptiles.

Our nursery offers complimentary settling in sessions. Parents can bring their child for a couple of hours first, gradually introducing the child to a new environment. Settling in sessions are aimed at helping your child to adapt to their new surroundings and become more familiar with the staff and other children.

We regularly organize community outings for our children at the Wendyhouse. The children love our visits to local nature parks, supermarkets, pet shops, nursing home, garden centre and our local library. This is a great opportunity for children to learn outside of the nursery setting, socializing within our small and friendly community.

Baby sensory activities are designed to develop childrens' senses, usually through special lighting, music, and objects. It can be used as a type of therapy for children with limited communication skills. We use a variety of sensory experiences allowing the children to develop touch, smell and sound.

We celebrate Christmas by putting on a wonderful Christmas show for friends and family each year. There's always much excitement in preparing for the show as we learn songs and organise our special dress ups.

The Wendyhouse Forfar benefits from its fantastic location with the local park on our doorstep. Both children and staff enjoy our nature walks. Collecting sticks and leaves to use in our small play and as art resources. Building dens, having picnics and story telling. The children often see squirrels, birds and search for insects under logs which enhances their understanding of nature and all of its little creatures.
