Mossend Nursery Zone

We are recognised by Education Scotland as a Digital Nursery, the second nursery in North Lanarkshire to achieve the prestigious Digital School Award.

The Digital Schools Award is recognition to schools and teachers that are committed to identifying and achieving effective practice in making digital technologies part of the curriculum.

At this young age, all learning is through play. Play helps to build self-worth by giving a child a sense of his or her own abilities and to feel good about themselves.

Because it’s fun, children often become very absorbed in what they are doing.

This downloadable pack provides further resource to supplement the activities suggested in the Nursery Zone. You will find some interactive games in the literacy and numeracy sections, but there are many downloadable apps for early years too, we have suggested some here.

Messy Play


Messy & Creative Play

Messy play is a way of encouraging children to learn about raw materials such as mud, sand, water and paint in an unrestricted way.  Messy play is extremely important for a child’s development.

It provides children with an exciting tactile and sensory experience that inspires their curiosity, allows them to explore the world around them and enhances their learning, language and creativity.

Messy play allows children to create, build, develop their imaginations, explore textures, use their senses and it’s fun!!  Please ensure appropriate supervision is in place for any young children using our messy play recipes and that they avoid consumption.
