 Choosing childcare is an important decision for you and your family, therefore we hope the following information will answer questions about our aims and standards of childcare and education to enable you to have complete confidence that you are making the right choice.  

Our aim is to provide a safe place where adults and children care for both each other and their environment and take great pride in it.  It is a place where children can learn at their own pace following their natural development and be encouraged to become confident, self-disciplined and active learners and explorers. They can be themselves and can learn to really love learning. 

 At Cairndow Community Childcare we pride ourselves on our highly qualified and experienced team. Our staff are passionate about the role they play for a short period in a child’s life and believe a child’s early experiences are their preparation for life.  

We provide a stimulating and individualised curriculum that focuses on the development of the whole child. Our curriculum is rich in sensory exploration and the children are encouraged to explore the natural world outside through hands on activities. Babies thoroughly enjoy exploring the treasure baskets whilst toddlers busy themselves in activities that are challenging yet simple and achievable.

The materials we offer the children are real and natural which helps the children to make connections between their learning experience and reality.

We believe the children should feel a sense of belonging at nursery therefore each room includes child sized furniture and resources accessible at their level. The resources and furniture we use are designed to encourage independence and foster children’s self-confidence.
