Learning Beyond the Playroom

Learning at Adelphi Nursery doesn’t stop at the classroom door!

Throughout the year we provide exciting experiences that help children explore the world around them, build confidence and develop new skills.

Our children regularly enjoy visits within the local community, including:

  • Local shops
  • The local library
  • Nature walks and litter-picking activities
  • Glasgow Green
  • Museums and other places of interest

These experiences are carefully planned to support children’s interests and learning. For example, children have visited local shops to buy exotic fruits after reading Handa’s Surprise, explored Glasgow Green on a Gruffalo adventure, and enjoyed visits to the Riverside Museum when exploring different types of transport and also the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art.

For Summer the team have planned trips to Sarti’s Restaurant in Glasgow where the children get the chance to make their own pizzas.  They will also be visiting international supermarkets to buy various exotic fruits and veg to make smoothies and muffins at our Nursery and visiting Glasgow Museum for Modern Art in Exchange Square (with introduction to the Duke of Wellington Statute, with the decades-long tradition of locals placing a bright orange traffic cone on the Duke’s head and the children are always amazed at this!


Bookbug Sessions

We love sharing stories, songs and rhymes together!

Our popular Bookbug Sessions take place every week and families are warmly invited to join us.

These sessions are a wonderful opportunity to:

  • Enjoy stories and songs together
  • Meet other families
  • Get to know our nursery before your child starts
  • Support your child’s language and literacy development

Bookbug is also a lovely way to help children become familiar with the nursery as part of their transition.

Please see our latest newsletter for current session times or ask a member of staff for more information.
