In adhering to Scottish Government policy and legislation, we are providing 1140 hours of provision for our children.
New children and returning children are allocated a Keyworker who will oversee their written work, communicate with parents and work collaboratively with other agencies as and when required.
Our Learning Journals provide a platform for us to share your child’s learning and development and offers opportunities for families to share magic moments from home. Learning Journals will be published monthly however can be accessed by parents/carers at any time. Logins for this platform will be issued when your child starts Nursery.
We continue to provide a nurturing, learning environment where children’s literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing development is enhanced through a breadth of experiences inspired from the Curriculum for Excellence.
The Nursery Charter is created by our children and supports our drive to be a Rights Respecting School. Visual articles from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child are shared and discussed with all children to support their understanding of how important they are. These rights are chosen by our children and embedded throughout our practice as reflected in our Nursery Charter.
Outdoor play can be enjoyed in our front playground where children build their gross motor and balance skills through riding bikes and scooters and playing traditional playground games. Children have lots of opportunities to access the outdoor gym equipment located in the school playground too.
The Nursery Garden provides a more natural habitat where children play in the mud kitchen, pirate ship, explore bugs and water play. We also have a fairy garden and introduced den building to feed the imaginations and curiosity of our little learners! The recent addition of our polytunnel aims to provide children with an understanding of food to fork and sustainability as they grow their own food and reduce food waste by making compost to nurture their crops.
Our Curriculum Cabin houses an outdoor literacy area which will have story stones and weatherproof books and rhymes. The cabin also provides some shelter during rainier seasons for our children to continue their outdoor learning experiences in comfort.
Parent/staff meetings will take place during September/October and then again during April/May. These meetings provide an opportunity for staff to discuss Shanarri targets (wellbeing indicators) to support continuity of care between Nursery and home and to support our aim to ‘get it right for every child’ (Scottish Government).
Our family group Condorrat Peeps continues to be a huge success and provides our families with an opportunity to come together to promote and support their child’s learning.
