Nursery

Welcome to St Kenneth’s Nursery.

St Kenneth’s Nursery class is an integral, active and valued part of St Kenneth’s Primary School.  Being part of the school community allows us exciting opportunities to share our learning with other children at various stages of the school and we regularly welcome the P1-7 schoolchildren into our Nursery on return visits. 

We are very proud of the strong working relationship we have with our parents which is reflected in the friendly, family atmosphere we enjoy.  Our parents are welcome to come into the Nursery at all times but particularly during our monthly Soft Starts and Soft Finishes, when parents can share the first part of the Nursery session with their child.  We also have Coffee Mornings every two weeks, giving parents a chance to get to know each other and have a chat over a cuppa.  This two-way support between parents and staff is an important part of the children’s Nursery experience and we are delighted that it has a positive impact on the Nursery ethos as a whole.

Each child’s progress is recorded in their PLP (Personal Learning Plan) which is linked to the Curriculum for Excellence. We enjoy having regular meetings with parents to keep them up to date with their child’s experience at Nursery, but parents and children alike can look at their PLJ at any time. Of course, if a parent has any concerns that they wish to raise, Nursery staff are always available and happy to have a chat.

 

In addition to our Nursery room, we have an extensive garden where we have ample scope for energetic play on a daily basis. As well as growing fruit, vegetables and flowers, birdwatching and feeding the birds are popular activities  with the children.  We also make use of other areas in the school – gym, library music room etc.
