Balmalloch Nursery Class Vision – August 2023

“At Balmalloch Nursery Class, we pride ourselves on ensuring emotional wellbeing is at the heart of our pedagogy; in a safe, nurturing environment where all children are supported to thrive. Our children lead their own learning and are supported by staff who are dedicated, encouraging, passionate and driven. We create learning opportunities which embed the National Practice Guidance, Realising the Ambition and this is the forefront of our practice, seen through our interactions, experiences and spaces. We are working towards registering as an indoor, outdoor setting and our children have free access to outdoors every day, where they engage in high quality outdoor play experiences. We place relationships at the heart of our nursery ethos, understanding the relationships we have with our children, families and each other underpins the very foundations of a successful and positive learning environment for all of our children. Our learners’ needs are met by staff who understand them and support them along the way on every step of their learning journey. We provide an environment which promotes curiosity and sparks creativity to inspire all of our children to become Successful Learners, Confident Individuals, Responsible Citizens and Effective Contributors.”
