Nursery

Stockbridge Nursery is a child led Nursery, focused on the success of each individual. Our staff are passionate about play based learning and strive to create the best opportunities for our Nursery families and children. We follow current Government guidance including the  Realising the Ambition document. (https://education.gov.scot/media/3bjpr3wa/realisingtheambition.pdf) which provides more detail on a child centred approach to learning.

Not only do we encourage the children to develop but we also develop our own knowledge. We keep up to date with current policies and guidance, attend professional development courses and collaborate with our Nursery Communities to continue to improve. We also utilise staff skills and strengths.

We want to collaborate with you, in order to to support your child in starting Nursery. As a staff team we are open to communication from you at the start and end of the day and can arrange meetings at your request so we can answer questions or discuss your child’s learning.

We value partnership with our families. We are always available at drop off and pick up, regularly seek your views and have an active and valued parent partnership group. If you’d like to be involved in this group, just let one of our team know.
