Curriculum - Learning and Teaching

Our children aged 3-5 enjoy ‘A Curriculum for Excellence 3-18 which is challenging and appropriate to the needs of the individual child. We offer an exciting and challenging environment based on this Curriculum and guidance within Building the Ambition. The types of activities offered to the children are designed to cover the entire range of learning experiences and outcomes. Our planning sets out what skills we intend the children to learn in appropriate contexts, and takes into account children’s individual needs and stages of development. Assessment and recording is based on focused observations and is an integral part of the daily routine in an early years setting.

Each child’s progress is monitored and evaluated systematically, and we encourage parents to take all opportunities to discuss their children’s progress with staff.

Each child will build up his/her port folio of learning which we call Special Books throughout their time at nursery. These will link to the Curriculum for Excellence and show how your child is progressing in becoming:

  • Effective Contributors  
  • Responsible Citizens 
  • Confident individuals
  •  Successful Learners
