Welcome to Kilchuimen Nursery
Kilchuimen Primary School is delighted to welcome you and your child to our Nursery class. We strive to provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment in which children can feel happy and secure. The School Aims can be found in the whole school handbook, but in addition to these the Nursery Aims are:
- To have an open-door policy to provide a welcoming setting where parents and carers can feel involved in their child’s development.
- To create an atmosphere which encourages confidence, self esteem, self expression and a sense of security for all our children.
- To continue to work in partnership with parents, carers and other people within our community.
- To encourage the children to find out how to care for themselves and their environment.
- To respect the equal rights of all children and promote tolerance by providing a broad range of experience and resources.
- To use the curriculum as laid down by the Scottish Executive to meet the needs of each individual child through play.
- To build the children’s communication skills with both peers and adults.
- To encourage the children to be aware of health and fitness.
- To provide parents/carers with regular information about their child’s progress and development.
- To encourage children to choose and plan their own activities and take control of their own learning.
Our aims will be achieved by allowing children to participate in a variety of play experiences. Nursery Team The Nursery team includes:
Mrs Angela Pargeter - Nursery Assistant
Mrs Alison Bowcott - Nursery Auxiliary
Ms Wendy Scollay - Head Teacher/Support Teacher
We are also supported and assisted by Support for Learning staff.
On occasion we have secondary school and other students completing work experience and placements in the nursery. We have strong links with the primary school and join in with various whole school activities. We also have regular access to the gym hall and playing fields. It is important that your child begins to feel comfortable as a pupil in our school and staff will involve nursery pupils in the wider life of the school.
