A great visit and lots of inspiring new connections in the making. Thank you Willow Den Scotland!
We had the pleasure of giving Marie-Amélie Viatte a tour of Willow Den at Spartans today!
The children were busy building new houses (J wanted to wear his blocks as a house-hat).
The nursery area has been transformed from a mostly unused space and is constantly evolving as children build, change and shape it. We are proud to be Scotland’s first outdoor nursery in a football stadium (you have to see it to believe it!). It’s not just any football stadium, Spartans has community in its DNA.
Marie-Amélie is part of the Link Up team at our parent organisation Inspiring Scotland. She’s a keen environmentalist, passionate about sustainable food and taking care of our planet. All the things we care about too!
Haste ye back Marie-Amélie!
P.S. Jo - we shared the cake you left - it was GREAT, thank you!)
