ABOUT CUMBERNAULD & KILSYTH NURSERY

Investing in Children's Play, Education and Care,

The nursery has been open from March 1990: we provide low cost, quality and accessible childcare to allow parents to go to work, college or achieve other aspirations.  We are now a limited company but still have charitable status.  We operate in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council, and as we are a charitable organisation we are therefore non profit making. We are Inspected by H.M.I.E.  and we are also registered and inspected by Care Inspectorate and follow their Heath and Social Care Standards, My Support, my life. We have established ourselves as an integrated service for the community. The quality of the service is monitored to ensure that our provision is of a high standard and continues to meet the needs of the community.

OUR PLAYROOMS

CATERPILLAR ROOM

The Caterpillar room can accommodate up to 9 children at any time.  The children have lots of opportunities to take part in outdoor experiences, so we ask parents/carers to provide wellies and soft indoor shoes for their child to wear.

The staff provide a wide variety of play experiences for the children to participate in enabling them to explore and develop their learning focusing on North Lanarkshire’s document:


“Effective Early Development and Learning – The critical period from birth to 3 years”, Realising the Ambition and GIRFEC.

LADYBIRD ROOM

The Ladybird Room can accommodate up to 10 children at any time.  We provide a variety of play experiences for the children for the children to participate in enabling them to explore and develop their learning. The children have lots of opportunities to take part in many experiences outdoors so we ask parent/carers to provide wellies and soft indoor shoes for your child to wear.

All the resources in our playroom are fully accessible to all the children. We observe the children closely so that we can provide experiences based on their interests. We are very keen to promote healthy eating in the ladybird room and every day we include the children in planning and preparing our snack. Along with that we ensure that every day the children have access to outdoor play where they can have fresh air and develop their gross physical skills by cycling, climbing and running. We also promote relaxation time through deep breathing exercises and yoga.

We are very keen to encourage the children to be "creative thinkers" and "problem solvers" so we promote and encourage the use of "Loose Parts" where children use empty tubs, roll tubes, keys, tins and lids to build with, design with and find different ways for them to fit. This also allows us to teach the children to be mindful of our environment by recycling and reusing lots of resources available to us. 

We use Pre-birth to three, GIRFEC and "Realising the Ambition" to guide our learning and ensure that the children are getting the most of their experiences in the Ladybird Room.

BUTTERFLY ROOM

The Butterfly Room can accommodate up to 24 children at any one time. We are very passionate about ensuring that each individual child's interest are met. We recently introduced In the Moment Planning which allows staff to observe and interact with children helping them to pursue their own interests and supporting them to access and move their own learn on in the moment. The health and wellbeing of our children is paramount therefore outdoor lay is an extremely important part of the children's learning and development. We have an open door policy and the children have access to the outdoor space all day. We also encourage the children to become aware of their body and emotions by encouraging them to participate in regular mindful experiences such as yoga and deep breathing exercises. 


We incorporate Loose Parts Play both indoors and outdoors as it encourages the children to develop creative and critical thinking skills as they are encouraged to explore their imagination and experiment with new ideas. Loose Parts allows the children the freedom to arrange and re arrange using the part to create their own rules and designs which then allows the focus of the experience to be the process rather than the product.  

As an Eco promoting nursery we are currently working towards out 4th Eco Flag. We are currently learning about Litter, Biodiversity and Food and the environment. Staff are extremely enthusiastic about teaching the children about their local and wider community's environment. The children are encouraged to actively participate

in the growing their own fruit and vegetables that can be eaten at snack as part of our health promoting nursery policy. 

We know the importance of giving children access to as many different learning opportunities and have in cooperated Forest Schools, Language Land and Book bug into the weekly sessions.
