“All young children in a Glasgow should learn within a warm, caring and nurturing environment.  Babies and young children are full of potential but are dependent on skilled, sensitive and knowledgeable practitioners to support their learning and development. Practitioners play a key role in planning for young children starting with their interactions and observations. These are vital in getting to know how babies and young children learn, what they like to do and what might interest them next.”

Nurturing My Potential, Glasgow City Council, 2023
