  • Motion reference: S6M-15841

That the Parliament congratulates Johnston Nursery, in Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway, on being awarded the Scottish Finest Woods Awards Early Years Runner-Up 2024 prize at a recent awards ceremony, which was held at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh; acknowledges what it sees as the incredible work carried out by Hollie Mitchell and Kelly Lappin, along with the children and volunteers, who have created a wonderful environment for nature and the youngsters; notes that this is not the first time that their sterling work has been recognised, having previously won the Scottish Forestry’s Acorn Trophy in 2022 for early-years settings that inspire a love of trees and woodlands for young children; understands that the judges described this as a superb example of what can be done by the nursery community, and wishes the nursery staff and children every success in the future.
