Each child is allocated to a key group. This gives them the opportunity to form friendships and get to know a small group of children well. This can be very important for quiet and shy children in a large busy nursery. Many friendships start amongst members of the key group. Our group colours are Red Group – Mrs Cowan; Yellow Group – Mrs Patterson; Green Group – Mrs Gardner and Blue Group – Mrs Lynch/Mrs Kemp.

Group time  is a special quiet time and gives staff the opportunity to promote a range of skills such as emotional literacy, listening skills, numeracy and a range of adult led activities in line with our curriculum ‘A Curriculum for Excellence’.
