Learning & Growing Together
The ethos of Craigton Lodge Nursery is focused on the needs of the individual child. Young children instinctively try to make sense of their world through investigating, exploring, questioning and observing others. The desire to learn is a powerful driving force for all children.
Kind, Happy, Active, Included.
We believe that every child deserves the best support possible to develop and grow in these early years. We follow the guidelines in the Scottish Government document ‘Pre-birth to Three’ which focuses on each individual being supported to achieve their potential. The staff build strong relationships with the children and their families, and this, along with regular observation and assessment, allow us to provide the resources and support needed by each child. Embedded into our ethos and everyday practice are the four areas of ‘Pre-birth to Three’ – The 4 R’s- the rights of the child, respect, relationships and responsive care. We also implement the guidance in Realising the Ambition to promote curiosity and interest, by ensuring a stimulating environment and sensitive and responsive support from staff. For our older children (3 – 5 years) we follow the Curriculum for Excellence with Health and Wellbeing being our main focus. We use the Principles of GIRFEC and SHANARRI indicators to support the children to become confident individuals, effective communicators, successful leaners and responsible citizens.
