Some of you maybe wondering why Childhood Cancer Awareness is so close to our hearts. Well our wonderful Isla who is a practitioner and close member of our team, has 2 beautiful boys. Recently they have been dealt a huge blow, that has hit hard and fast. At Rothiemay, we are more than just a nursery, we are a family, every staff member, every child and that includes all the families of children and staff are enveloped within are family.
Isla has kindly been brave enough to share Reuben’s story so far -
“As you will know our beautiful little boy Reuben. He's just 3 years old, and if you know Reuben, you'll know one thing for certain...
He absolutely LOVES Lightning McQueen. 🏎️
Cars, Lightning toys, Lightning clothes, Lightning films — basically, if it's Lightning McQueen, Reuben is interested!
But right now, our little boy is facing something that no 3-year-old should ever have to face.
Reuben has been diagnosed with stage 3 rhabdomyosarcoma, affecting his prostate, bladder and abdominal wall.
He's currently going through chemotherapy, and his treatment will continue with localised radiotherapy in Glasgow and potentially surgery.
And while Reuben is fighting this horrible disease, our family is facing something incredibly difficult too.
His baby brother is due to arrive around the same time that Reuben will need to be in Glasgow.
This means there is a very real possibility that Reuben will spend around five weeks in Glasgow without his mam and big brother, while they stay at home with his new baby brother.
We're going to be a family separated across Scotland at a time when all we want is to be together and worst of all this is likely to be over CHRISTMAS🎅🏻🎄🎁.
So amongst all the hospital appointments, chemotherapy, scans and uncertainty, we're trying to give Reuben something happy to look forward to.
Something that has nothing to do with cancer.
Something that is completely and utterly Reuben.
🏎️🏰 We want to get our little Lightning McQueen madman to Disneyland Paris. 🏰🏎️
We want to see his face when he meets Lightning.
We want to watch him run around, enjoy the rides, see the characters he loves and just be a three-year-old boy having an amazing time with his family.
As his family we are beyond grateful for every single donation, share or even well wish. It truly means the absolute world to us all and we cannot thank everyone enough for all the support💛🎗
YOU GUYS ARE THE REAL HEROS🤍🤍”

💛🎗️ Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️💛

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and this year it holds a very personal meaning for our little Rothiemay Nursery family.

Because this time, it isn’t just a cause we are supporting…

It has happened to one of our own. 💔

We may be a small nursery, but we are a close-knit community. Our staff, children and their families become part of our nursery family, and when one of our own is facing something so incredibly difficult, we stand together. 💛

We can’t take away the worry, the appointments or the difficult days, but we can show our love, and raise awareness.

Throughout September, we’ll be holding a number of fundraising events, and we would love for our nursery families, friends and wider community to get involved. Every donation, raffle ticket, share or act of kindness will make a difference. 🎗️

To our very special nursery family — you are not facing this alone. We’ve got you. 💛

For the little warriors. For their families. For our own. 🎗️

More details coming soon. 💛

We would like to wish everyone a wonderful first day tomorrow 🥰

And just like that, we have reached the end of the nursery year! We have had a wonderful year, from celebrating our 50th years of serving our community, to exploring our community, launching rockets, meeting visiting goats, lambs and an emu and so much more!

End of term nursery fun and graduation 👩🏻‍🎓 👨🏻‍🎓 today 🤩
We have a wonderful day of sunshine, fun, laughter, and a tear or two! As we had a morning of bouncy castle and party games, followed by family picnic lunch for all our families and finishing our afternoon, with a celebration of our preschools as they head up to Primary 1 after the summer holidays🥰🥰

Big thanks to our wonderful children and families 🤩🥰 for being with us today. Also thank you to Rothiemay Playing Field for letting us use the beautiful location at the Lossat and playing field and Bouncy Mania for their wonderful caterpillar bouncy castle

Wow 🤩 what a week..as we creep closer towards the end of term, we have been keeping busy!
This week we had a wonderful trip to the new STEM Starts centre in Elgin. There was so much to see, learn and do, with links to the local area. The wind machine, slide and under the sea were the children’s most popular areas. We then managed our pack lunches and a play at Cooper Park. Big thanks to Deveron coaches and bus driver Jim 🤩

We also managed to have our Sports Day on Friday, where the children chose what races they wanted to do, which included running, a rolling race and a mum vs Kids 🫣😇 The children did amazingly well 🥇

Finally we managed a child friendly “Blackening” of our Isla who is set to get married very soon. The children loved the opportunity to get messy and the freedom to cover an adult in gloop and feathers 😂😂

We’ve lots of fun planned for the last few weeks of term 🤩🥳👩🏻‍🎓
