What a week in The Hive looks like 🙂
There's been snow play (of course!) & also activities inside to build skills & develop confidence.
There's no better place to forge friendships, have fun and learn than at #TeamCraighead

At Craighead the children are on the go all the time, but there's also time for rest & sleep.

Our staff have undertaken training with Safe Sleep Scotland & we recognise the importance of sleep in a child's routine. In or out, there's always time for a rest.
