The thought of going back to Victoria Park Nursery School revives memories of when my daughter went there in 1977/78. Having spent two years previously in Germany, she spoke more German than English but that was a bonus rather than a problem. She quickly settled in there until she was old enough to go to John Rankin Infants School.
I set out from the Town Hall with Edwina Cooper and Carol Currie the Mayor’s attendant, who has to accompany me when I wear the full chain. It was a fine morning and it was very pleasant walking over the canal bridge and through Victoria Park to the school. Things have changed a great deal since 1977. There is now strict control of access to the grounds and building and the building has been extended. We met the deputy headteacher , governors, teachers, other staff and volunteer helpers who do a great job to ensure that the early learning years and both interesting and to an extent educational. It also gives the children the opportunity to mix with other children of differing backgrounds. It was amusing to see some of the children even at that age taking the lead in some of the activities.
We were able to see what the children were doing inside and outside and they all seemed to enjoy it.
We were pleased to attend the coffee morning as it gave us the opportunity of going back to early learning school to see the wide range of activities which the children have now, compared with 30 years ago.
