St Bride’s DSA validation report 20.06.25

Throughout this year, we have been working closely with staff, families, and our children to update our Vision, Values, and Aims to better reflect the work we do here at St. Bride’s Nursery. Our families expressed the desire for a play-based learning approach, opportunities for family and community involvement, a focus on safety and wellbeing, and the development of life skills while celebrating children’s achievements. Our children shared that they love to play, explore, build friendships, work closely with their adult helpers, feel safe, and enjoy when their families are involved.

As a staff team, we have taken this all into consideration alongside our own views, and developed a new Vision, Values, and Aims. I am excited to share with you the updated visual design of our Vision, Values, and Aims below, which reflects the key themes agreed upon by our school community. This visual is displayed at the front entrances of Starbright and Starfish Nursery, ensuring all of our families and children are aware of it.

As we move forward, we will be introducing our Value Bears into the Nursery after you voted for their names. We look forward to welcoming:

• Respectful Rosie
• Achieving Archie
• Believable Benji

These bears will be used with the children in a child-friendly way to discuss the importance of our nursery values here at St. Bride’s.

For our main meal options we always have a vegetarian option and plated salad or filled roll/sandwich options with a choice of fillings.

In line with the Scottish Government’s ‘Hungry for Success’ policy, Fife Council provides tasty, healthy meals to young Fifers. All of our meals conform to national nutritional standards which you can read or download on the Scottish Government website.

The national nutritional standards demand that a Fife school lunch provides at least one third of the daily nutritional requirements of pupils. Our menus provide nutritious choices that ensure a balanced diet over the week.

High schools have a cafeteria-style service, where pupils can choose from a variety of tasty and healthy items. Please encourage your child to vary their selections.

Special diets
Should your child have a specific dietary requirement e.g. a specific food that they cannot eat for health or religious reasons, please complete the online Specific Dietary Requirement Form. The school cook and manager will arrange to meet with you to discuss how best to fulfil your child’s needs.

If your child prefers a vegetarian diet there is a selection of suitable dishes on the menu every day and you don’t need to complete a Specific Dietary form.

Fife school meals do not use any ingredients containing nuts but some products may be made in a non-nut-free environment – please check recipes for more details.

We are committed to reducing the impact we have on the environment and are trying to reduce or eliminate packaging and single-use plastics where we can.
