PUPILS at a Muir of Ord early learning and childcare centre have raised their profile courtesy of a gift from a Ross-shire business.
The children and childcare charity, Care and Learning Alliance (CALA) has welcomed the donation of child-sized high-visibility vests from Pat Munro (Alness) Ltd.
Through The Pat Munro Foundation, the children of CALA’s Muir of Ord early learning and childcare centre were the first to try the new vests, aimed at helping to ensure their safety whilst on their regular outdoor adventures.
Jaci Douglas, chief executive of CALA welcomed the donation adding: "Nurturing the development of children through outdoor play and learning is a key focus of our work. Children being more clearly visible in their vests means they are easily identifiable, enhancing child safety and staff confidence when out in the community.”

You never know, we could be looking at our next set of apprentices!”
