It’s therefore crucial to get it right for every nursery child.
At our Nursery, everything we do is driven by that goal.
We offer a vibrant, welcoming and stimulating nursery education for 3-5 year-olds.
Our overriding aim is to encourage each child to be confident and caring, and to develop a true love of learning. The Nursery provides a fun and friendly learning environment which prepares children for the crucial transition to primary years education, regardless of which school your child goes on to. We even have a Nursery to P1 Transition Practitioner, dedicated to helping children negotiate this vital step.
Our nursery space, both indoors and out, provides the very best play-based learning opportunities for each child whilst at the same time being nurturing, comfortable, safe and fun. Children at the Nursery learn across a broad curriculum with staff gently extending that learning at every opportunity through play and fun activities. The children will see this as simply playing and having fun. But they are working to develop the skills which will support their future learning without even realising it.
We firmly believe there should be a real and strong partnership with parents. Your feedback will always be welcome as we strive to ensure that we make your child’s experience happy and fun.
Parents will receive regular feedback from your child’s Key Person and more formal written reports will also be provided.
