🌟 Learning Through the Curriculum for Excellence at Paxton Nursery
At Paxton Nursery, we follow Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) to make learning fun, meaningful, and full of discovery! CfE is about much more than books and numbers – it helps children develop skills, confidence, and curiosity in all areas of life.
Our approach is playful, hands-on, and child-led, so every child can explore, experiment, and imagine at their own pace. Here’s how we bring learning to life:
🎨 Creativity & Expressive Arts
Painting, music, role-play, and building encourage imagination and self-expression.
📚 Literacy & Communication
Storytelling, songs, and chatting with friends help children express themselves and understand the world around them.
🔢 Numeracy & Problem Solving
Counting, sorting, and fun games make numbers exciting and meaningful in everyday life.
đź’Ş Health & Wellbeing
Outdoor play, teamwork, and learning about emotions help children grow happy, confident, and resilient.
🌿 Sciences & the World Around Us
Exploring nature, experimenting with materials, and asking “why?” sparks curiosity and a love for discovery.
At Paxton Nursery, every day is full of laughter, exploration, and little achievements, helping your child build the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
