At Lauriston Nursery the Curriculum for Excellence is the basis of many of the activities that follow on from our birth to three rooms. In our bespoke pre-school room, three to five year olds are further introduced to the skills they will need to become confident individuals, successful learners, responsible citizens and valued, effective contributors, both in later education and in later society.

Curriculum for Excellence has been designed specifically to transform education across Scotland by providing a curriculum that is enriched, flexible and above all; coherent and relevant for modern life, it encompasses much more than the learning that happens in the classroom. It also informs the ethos and daily life of the nursery and the opportunities we strive to give our learners.

All activities are planned carefully around children’s development and interests with all of our learners involved in all areas of nursery life and playing active roles, both in their own learning as well as their own planning and evaluating of activities.

We work in partnership with our local authority to deliver learning that fulfils the curriculum for excellence, empowering our young children with the knowledge, skills and qualities they will need for life in the 21st century, delivering a curriculum aimed at created successful young learners, who will grow to be confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors, today and tomorrow…
