Do you have a child aged between 2.5yrs to 5yrs old? Are you looking for a
fun, friendly and welcoming place to go on a Friday morning? Then why not
come along and join us!
We’ve been busy at Langbank
Playgroup enjoying Easter crafts
and visiting the local Primary
School. We will also be getting a
visit from the fire brigade and are
currently planning an end of term
trip.
Children are offered the opportunity
to develop their skills such as
independence, problem solving, role play, numeracy and literacy skills.
They also have the chance to develop their confidence and social skills
by making new friendships. The
children are offered a wide variety
of activities as well as new and
exciting experiences to explore.

Duchal
Nursery
School
After the success last year, we are
delighted that Greenock Morton
Community Trust are doing football
taster sessions for the children
again this term.The Trust aims
to encourage children to choose
exercise as a healthy way of life and
the children are loving their time on
the pitch learning new skills!
Our topic this term is “Into the
Woods” which is giving us some
great outdoor experiences that
will be followed by a trip to Pollock
Park.
We are all getting
very creative with
egg boxes and stone
painting for the
entries for this year’s
Kilmacolm Show and
looking forward to a
sunny Sports Day!
As you can see we
have an action packed
time at Duchal,
learning through play
in a friendly secure
environment, and
we are delighted to
announce that from
August we will be
increasing this by offering extended hours from 8.15am
until 3.30pm daily. (See article in main news pages). In
the meantime we are enjoying slightly longer days with 2
lunch clubs a week and a full day on Wednesdays which
the children are loving!
More information is available on our website www.duchal.
com and our Facebook page. If you would like to arrange
to visit the nursery to see for yourself what we can offer
please email info@duchal.com
Scouting in Renfrewshire on a
high….
The number of young people and adults enjoying the fun and adventure
of Scouting in Renfrewshire has recorded it highest ever figure. Almost
1000 people are now taking part in weekly activities across the District.
Our programme is wide and varied but fun is at the heart of everything we
do. If you would like to join us, full details can be obtained from Ian Hunter
(District Commissioner) via email at – dc@renfrewshirescouts.org.uk We
are especially keen to hear from adults that are willing to assist with the
sections. Please also take a look at our website – www.renfrewshirescouts.

The fun is not just limited to indoor weekly meetings. The Cubs (aged 8
– 10.5) visited the Showcase Cinema in Linwood for a special screening
of the new Jungle
book film while the
Beavers (aged 6-8)
recently had a day
out exploring the
Glasgow Science
Centre.
Houston Baby and
toddler group
We had great fun making Easter Crowns with our
friends for our recent fundraising coffee morning.
Children from 0-4 years old are very welcome with
their parents/grandparent/carer. You’ll receive a
warm reception and
the children can
have fun playing
with our many toys
while the adults
chat over a cuppa!

hall, Main Street,
