Curriculum

The curriculum means that activities taking place in the Nursery are intended to promote all aspects of children's learning and development.  It is carefully planned to provide learning opportunities through self chosen activities, individual learning & learning in a group.

Play

Play lies at the heart of the curriculum and makes a major contribution to the children's development.  Children learn as they play and as they share experiences with other children and adults.  Through play children practice and develop many skills.  They Jeey uses a 'Child Led' approach when implementing the curriculum through play.  This means that children have the opportunity to learn through the activities they enjoy most.  This approach is part of what makes the Jeely different to other nurseries.

Additional Support

Just like adults, children have to cope with many situations and changes in their lives like a new baby in the family, moving house, break up of parents’ relationship etc and, just like adult, some children deal with it better than others. We have specially trained staff who can provide addition support to children when required spending some ‘Special Play Time’ with them using Play Therapy techniques. To find out more speak to Deborah, Hazel or Ashley.

Children, Books and Play

Once children have settled into the Jeely they can join the Children, Books and Play project. This project is currently available to a limited number of nurseries in Glasgow as part of the Sure Start programme and gives children the opportunity to borrow books and other resources from the Nursery. Early exposure to books will give your child a great advantage in the areas of language and reading and help them to develop the ‘reading habit’.

Key Workers

When your child starts Nursery he will be allocated a key worker. This is the member of staff who will be responsible for monitoring your child’s progress and your ‘link person’. If you need to tell us anything about your child or have any questions about your child’s day at Nursery, the key worker is the best person to speak to.
