Our activities vary on a daily basis and can include den making, messy play, bug hunting, story telling and lots of opportunities to explore and learn. \u00a0All our activities are set up and planned to provide high quality learning through play, with a particular focus on literacy, numeracy, stem and art activities and health and wellbeing, in line with the requirements of the Curriculum for Excellence. We welcome pre-arranged ‘show and tell’ of anything the children would like to share.<\/p>\n

Once a week kids yoga is led by a local yoga teacher and music lessons are conducted by local musicians. \u00a0We aim to get outside every day, whether in the nursery garden, park, local community orchard or other local walks meaning the children get plenty of fresh air and exercise, whilst getting to make the most of the natural resources available to us within the village.<\/p>\n

All our meals are cooked daily by our staff on site and use locally reared meat and our garden produce when we have it. The children take part in meal planning, serving lunch and can request changes if they don’t like that day’s offering. We encourage independence by allowing them to get their own cutlery which also helps in the transition between us and primary school. We offer morning snack, lunch with pudding and afternoon snack.<\/p>\n

What to bring to each session<\/h3>\n
