Wild Sparks announced the nursery project just 21 days ago and are delighted to have received LOTS of interest... if you've just found us please click here to register your interest and sign up to the e-list.
Here's the latest news from the nursery team.
Official Registration
Wild Sparks are currently working with Care Inspectorate to get the service fully registered, this means we will be compliant with all the National Care Standards and function exactly like an ordinary indoor nursery, subject to all the same inspections and regulations. So far we have submitted our registration and been appointed a Care Inspectorate officer who we will be meeting with shortly.
Opening Date
At this point we are still unable to confirm our opening date, we hope to meet an August deadline but cannot guarantee this so please do not rely on us for your childcare arrangements. If this is a concern feel free to get in touch to discuss your situation.
Site
The Wee Wild Sparks site we have secured is part of the Keithick estate, just a 5 minute drive from Coupar Angus and Burrelton on Caddam Road. It’s a beautiful piece of mixed woodland featuring Scots Pine and Sycamore, amongst other trees and plants. The site has an array of natural play features including climbing trees, boggy bits (perfect for bog babies!), grassy slopes, sheltered nooks, a possible badger den and lots of buzzards, red squirrels and roe deer. There is also an area for parking just a short walk from the woods along a lovely grassy track. This summer we have our work cut out building a compost toilet and yurt, repairing fences and installing entrances, do let us know if you would like to volunteer with any of this work, everybody welcome! Here’s a beautiful panoramic of the site taken at one of our recent meet ups:
