WE NEED YOUR INPUT

Dear Parent's and Carers
We will be having our Care Commission Inspection soon for this year. They are introducing a new Grading System. They will now award grades based on the quality of the care our service provides. The Care Commission will grade services and publish those grades as part of fulfilling its duty in terms of section 4(1) of the Regulation of Care (Scotland) act 2001 to provide information to the public about the quality of care services.

We must involve our service users for their input as their inputs will reflect on our grade for our service. We really need everyone's thoughts and inputs as without our user's involvement we will not be able to achieve higher grades.

So we would appreciate your inputs and feed back on the service that we provide and anything that we can do to improve our service.
Please fill in the questionare online HERE

Tots bring festive joy to pensioners

Growing Places Nursery tots put on their Santa hats to bring Christmas cheer to Gourock pensioners. The children performed many Christmas favourites and the day was a great success. (View pictures from the day in our galleries.)

From the pen of Duncan McNeil MSP

"I saw Grwoing Places nursery in the Greenock Telegraph and would like to say well done to all the children and staff at Growing Places for bringing Christmas cheer to residents at Riverside Gardens in Gourock. This was a nice gesture for the community and I am sure this was enjoyed by all"

Visit to Riverside Gardens on 18 December

Dear Parents,
Kids christmas caroling As part of our Christmas celebrations this year we will be visiting Riverside Gardens residential home on the 18th December at 10.30 am.

While there we will be entertaining the residents with 4 Christmas carols which we have been learning. On this day we will ask the children to wear something red, and we will provide Santa hats. Please ensure the children are dressed for the weather that day as we will be walking.

We would also like to do a 'secret Santa' for the residents, so we would be grateful for any small gifts for either male or female or a £1 donation.

I have attached a song sheet so your 'little entertainer' can give you a preview and also practice their songs at home, I'm sure you will enjoy this as much as we do.

This event will obviously be recorded and offered to you in the new year, along with the Christmas and Halloween party.

Thanks Pam
