Nursery Curriculum
All Small World Nurseries are committed to following Learning and Teaching Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence which aims to develop four capacities, helping children to become:
- Successful Learners
- Confident Individuals
- Responsible Citizens
- Effective Contributors
The Curriculum for Excellence encourages nurseries and places of learning to provide the best activities and environment for children of all ages to learn the skills they need for learning, life and work. This includes areas of literacy, numeracy, problem solving, culture, art, music and drama.
We also follow the Birth to Three Guidelines which support our youngest children and the Curriculum for Excellence 3 to 18.
Settling In Period
To help ease your child into their new daily curriculum, we offer a free settling period which is ideally used the week before your child is due to take up a place at Small World. This routine gives you and your child a chance to get to know the children, staff and nursery routines. Each child’s settling needs are different so we shall advise you individually at the point of settling.
