first nursery
Peebles
Our aim is to provide the children with a stimulating and exciting environment
which encourages them to use their inquisitive and creative minds. Play is
fundamental to our children’s development and their environment must offer the
freedom to choose from a wide range of learning opportunities. Our role is to
extend and encourage the children in such a way that they grow up to be
confident, happy and excited by the world and all its’ opportunities. We follow
the principles which underpin the Pre-Birth to Three and Curriculum for
Excellence documents and recognise that first hand experiences are an important
part of children’s learning and development. Our youngest ones are taken on
walks in and around the local community, and our older children make weekly
visits to the woods and countryside round about, where they can play, explore,
take risks, solve problems and learn new skills.
